Side effects from KSM-66?

Hi guys,
since I was suspecting low T (I have first-grade varicocele) I ran blood tests and it turns out that I have low Vit D and LH values. Testosterone is in range but on the low end and SHBG seems okay.
My symptoms are mainly: cold hands, dry skin and scalp causing itching, overthinking everything, can’t focus on a single topic due to “monkey mind”, brain fog, mild anxiety and repetitive behaviors, such as checking thinks (OCD-like).
I’ve read that ashwaganda can help in boosting LH and testosterone, besides helping with stress, thus I’ve just started supplementing ND’s KSM-66.
It’s been only two weeks, but so far it seems that I’m doing well, I have more energy, anxiety is lower and brain fog is a little better.
However I’m noticing two side effects: more irritability and pimples on my face. Do you think that these sides are caused by increased testosterone? Do they improve with time?
u/misteryouaresodumb I’d interested in knowing your opinion - in your experience is there anything better than ash for my issues?
Thanks a lot!

Increased testosterone can definitely have those side effects. Not sure if that is specifically what is causing them for you with KSM-66, but the mechanism makes sense. You'd have to get another blood test to know for certain. Until then, it's hard to say if they will get better or worse. We'd just be speculating.
