My test level is 170 and i have been on androgel for a year.my doc now wants me to add 3 packs a day, is this normal or should i be on something else?

No: Your level is definitely low and the amount of medication utilized is higher than average. Not everyone responds the same to all medications. Some people absorb one brand better than another. Given your treatment duration, it may be best to try a different regimen or even repeat your work up to see why you are not responding better than you are. Coordinate this with your doctor.
