Not sure why you would use a supplement when the doc has prescribed the real thing....
Tongkat ali is supposed to increase testosterone, according to some studies cited in the Wikipedia article
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tongkat_ali#Biological_effects
As a result it is popular on a number of bodybuilding sites.
Whether it actually increases testosterone or not, I have no idea, but it has helped me with combating the anti-sexual effects of ssris.
If I were you I would use the real testosterone the doc prescribed instead of a supplement of unknown strength and effect. Is there some reason you don't want to use what was prescribed?
