Unhappy I've lost my sex drive!

I am 38 years old and I have not had any kind of a sex drive for 5 or 6 years. I was diagnosed with cancer (sarcoma in the lower back and hip) in 1989. After chemo, radiation and surgery I was left with a major pain problem. I took Vicodin for 6 years and oramorph for a year or two after that, and my sex drive and function was normal. About 6 years ago I visited a pain specialist who put me on a host of drugs (Oxycontin, Celexa, Baclofin, and clonidine). I have been taking these drugs ever since and my sex drive has completely disappeared. I also have gained alot of weight, lost alot of muscle, and my mood is fairly sour. My penis size has shrunk by about a third. 4 years ago I went to a Urologist, who said my testosterone levels were very low. I was put on two different topical testosterone therapies (patch and gel) but they both gave me a horrible rash so I had to discontinue them. I just heard about something called Androil, and was wondering if anyone has had experience with it or if something else might help me.

I have a wonderfully understanding wife, but I feel like I am not the man she married anymore.

Any advice would be appreciated.
