Question TRT, 121 flying and your medical

My Dr. has been trying to get me on testosterone replacement for a while but I have been afraid to start down that road with 121 flying in my future. On the other hand I feel that I would benefit greatly from it because of the issues of having low test has caused in my life. I hold a current 1st class and I'm in good health other than the sluggish feelings, low motivation, and low sex drive.

So any of you guys on TRT while flying 121? If you could let me know how you handle it with your AME I would appreciate any advice you could offer. I have spoken to 2 AMEs about it. One said it was a huge hassle and the FAA frowned on it. The other said it was no issue as long as it was documented properly and the required Dr. evals were turned in with your medical every renewal.
