Wrong prescription from Empower?

Anyone ever received the wrong prescription from Empower? As in, it says it's the right thing but something seemed off?

I got a new batch of 3mg tadalifil for daily use a few weeks ago. Started taking it (4 days) and had heightened anxiety/racing heart rate. Took a break for two weeks, now tried it again yesterday and today and same thing happened.

I have been dealing with some anxiety, but it definitely seems worse when I've taken the tadalifil.

What made me suspicious is that I've taken it before (daily at 3mg and even up to 15mg at a time for an occasion) with no issues.

But with this new batch, something just seems off.
 
at times when I'm using Tadalafil I get some sides and some times I don't. Seems the sides dissipate after a week or two, too. Some of that anxiety if you're prone to it any way get's exacerbated in this TRT world but has nothing to do with the TRT/etc itself; all in your head. You've just found something new to fixate upon that has little to nothing to do with the drug.
 
Thinking outside the box here...
If your reactions were from the script...
Some folks do have reactions to certain binders / fillers within meds.
Just wondering if you may be having a reaction to the binder / fillers and not the med?

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
