Open Question: Side effects of testosterone?

Basically me and my friend are having an argument. I take testosterone tablets at the gym. Normally when you take testosterone you get harsh side effects such as spots, acne, hair loss etc. I take very expensive tablets (£50 for 30 days instead of £10 for a month of the cheep stuff) which boast they have no side effects and still increases your testosterone naturally. This is because it's a herbal remedy, the product I use it the 3rd best seller in gym supplements in the world. Now...Taking testosterone changes your personality etc, all are reasons you take it, you get a higher sex drive a higher drive to get big meaning you will do a better work out and it makes you feel more pumped after the gym. These are all reasons for taking it. He's trying to say although it doesn't give you spots, acne, hair loss etc it still has side effects. He says the side effects are the changes to your personality. I say no, that's an effect of taking the tablets seeing as that's what I take them for (that's the primary effect). It has no side effect (secondary effect). His argument was that because increased testosterone can regulate the flight or flight response that makes it a side effect (he just chose a random effect from wikipedia). I say no, that's a primary effect of taking it, it's all a change to my personality which is the reason I take it. (changing your fight or flight isn't even a bad thing) Thanks is you answer this btw.
