User Reviews for Testosterone

AndroGel (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: I'm a 35 year old male and I had no idea that lack of testosterone could have such an effect on the body. While my sex drive was on the low side, that was not the major problem. I had been put on various antidepressants over many years. However, my low testosterone level was the real culprit. I would advise all men who have depression issues to have their testosterone levels checked.

AndroGel (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: I have been using Androgel pump since July 2008. The first few months I noticed no changes with my mood, motivation or sexual interest. The Urologist had to adjust the dose a few times to have the right blood levels of testosterone. Once this was achieved I have been feeling great. I noticed a big difference in my sex drive (almost a night/day difference from day one). Lately my muscle mass has been increasing, almost like being on steroids. I do quite a bit of manual labor and my arms have gotten huge. I have lost just about all of the spare fat around my waist and my mood has been right on track with how I was when I was younger. I'm so glad I had the motivation to seek help when I did.

Testim (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: I started using 50 mg a day about a year ago and after 3 months I still had a very low Testosterone levels. So my Doctor prescribed 100 mg a day and have been on 100 mg a day for about 9 months. I got my sex drive back, started losing my belly fat and got interested in going to the gym and have added about 30 lbs of lean muscle and I get comments often about how young and muscular I look for a 60 year old man. I feel better than I did when I was 20 years old.

AndroGel (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: Have used pump for a year and a half. Used packets for six months before that. Prefer the pump. Works well and I feel better. Have gotten back muscle mass, better outlook on life in general, and can feel sexual again. Only negative is that testicals are smaller and softer since they no longer have to produce testosterone, but they don't bother me otherwise.

AndroGel (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: I have been using testosterone gel for over 4 months. I started with Testim but could not stand the smell. I got my doctor to prescribe Androgel and found it to be way nicer to apply. It does not leave a sticky residue like Testim and is completely odorless. I am in my early 50's and I had previously been on antidepressants for about 2 years. I find that I am feeling a lot better taking Androgel both mentally and physically. I go to the gym 4 or 5 days a week and I feel stronger than I have in years. As far as sex and libido, I can not believe the difference that Androgel has made. Absolutely fantastic.

Testim (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: I started to take Testim for a month. Because, of low energy not to mention motivation and ambition. The first blood test results said I have low testoterone... I took it for three weeks. Insurance wrote a letter saying they need two test to prove that is the case. I went off for a week, the worst week of my life. Testim really helped me after fifteen years of being diagnosed manic-depressed.

Testosterone Cypionate (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: Have been on testosterone cypionate as prescribed by doctor at 200 mcg bi-weekly.

Testosterone Cypionate (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: I have been on Testosterone Cypionate for over one month now. What a difference this has made in my life. I went to a doctor to assist me in weight loss. I was about 70 lbs. overweight. I have metabolic syndrome or Syndrom X as it is sometimes called. Within days of receiving the testosterone via intramuscular injection, I lost my fatigue and my energy levels sky-rocketed. My wife has had to deal with new and increased interest from me, but we have been working that out between us. My testosterone level was 166. I feel like I'm 25 years old again. If you are overweight, have metabolic syndrome or other related issues, have your testosterone checked by your physician. I'm glad I did.

AndroGel (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: I began testosterone treatment in June of 2008. I self injected 200mgs of Enanthate. After 2 months I stopped using it due to painful injection sites. In 10/08 my Doctor prescribed me the Androgel pumps. My levels were at 198 which for a 36 year old male is way low, no wonder I felt terrible. No drive to do anything, including sex, which for me was unheard of. I started out with two pumps but I noticed no change. In 11/08 4 pumps which actually caused a drop in my levels. 01/09 I began six pumps. In the past 5 months I have felt good. I am playing sports again, sex life is better, and I have lost 15 lbs. I have no side effects. Still a head of hair! I just feel really good. I feel like I am 26 again. No regrets. Use 100mg of B6 and more protein.

AndroGel (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: First and foremost you nee to see a specialist. Note that with the introduction of outside or additional testosterone your natural production can slow, and or shut down. This is why you need HCG. HCG keeps your natural testosterone in production even with the introduction of extra testosterone. Also a good estrogen blocker pill is recommended to keep test from aromatizing into estrogen. To sum it up you need all of the following 1. Androgel 2. HCG- keeps natural testosterone producing, 3. Anastrozole Pills-Stops Testosterone from being converted to Estrogen

AndroGel (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: Have been using it for less then 30 days. Noticed a difference in 3 days (as the pamphlet said). I now feel 62 or less, instead of 90. Not near as irritable. Applying to stomach area where I have a surgery scar, which the gel (possibly the alcohol) irritates. I've been objective, taking in consideration the psychological aspect.

Not 53 anymore. My T count was at 101 I had no drive what so ever. Now 2 months on AndroGel and I am up to 780 count and still going up. Better body tone more muscle mass belly fat going away.

Testim (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: I had a decreasing interest in sex, difficulty getting an erection, was gaining weight. All the Dr wanted to do was give me a prescription for Viagra and I did some research on my own. Found the symptoms were those of low testosterone and I scheduled a doctors appointment and asked for a blood test. Result were low...202 and I started Testim. The stuff is better than Viagra....increased sex drive, lost 50 lbs, feel and look 20 years younger. In my opinion every man should have their testosterone checked after age 40. I know that my wife appreciates my new attitude and performance.

AndroGel (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: Been using Androgel just over 1 month. It has made a big difference in my desire and ability to perform. No longer need ED drugs like Viagra, Cialis or Levitra.

Testosterone Cypionate (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: I had already been monitoring my testosterone levels for several years just to see where I was within the range. For years my test results have always been normal for my age. Then after experiencing a few consecutive tough years in my business, accompanied by excessive fatigue, frequent insomnia, and a general loss of interest in doing much at all, I went in for another testosterone test. To my astonishment my level decreased to about 40% of my previous average. My experience with therapy has been nothing short of a complete turnaround. Energy is back, attitude is improved ,gained muscle, lost fat, and no longer use antidepressants. I think my low T levels were the root of many of my issues and I have not experienced one negative side effect.

Testim (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: I recently turned 40 years old, and for at least the last five years, I have suffered from chronic depression, lack of motivation, no drive for life, and little did i know, a huge loss in sex drive. I decided to enter all the symptoms I had into a search engine. One of the first things that came up was low testosterone. I was shocked, and as soon as I could, I got tested. My reading was 240. I think if you are under 400, it should be an area of concern After using Testim for two weeks, my mood began to get better. Motivation began to increase at work. Sex drive is through roof. I'm looking forward to further benefits. Life changing medicine. Smell is sort of alcoholish. When people ask about smell, I joke about it.

Testim (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: I am 35 and have been fighting what I thought was normal aging for the last few years. I have been very active my entire life. Running, biking, etc. I have fought low energy levels and not wanting to do anything. My normal weight was 185 at 5'10" and I got up to 236. I got a shot to get me going and have been taking Testim for 5 weeks. I have lost 20 pounds and am up at 5AM every morning and in the GYM. I have never got up that early. I am in the gym morning and night doing spin and weights. I feel awesome. The smell of Testim is not bad at all. If I could live for 30 more years like I was or like I feel now, I would choose this without hesitation. This has changed my life!

Axiron (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: This was a breath of fresh air -- it took a few days to get used to the application process. However, in the end I am not lathering my body up, I'm not sticky and my hands are not contaminated with testosterone. An all around win!! No smell, not sticky and no hand contamination!! A

Testim (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: After 3 weeks of applying Testim daily I went from 140(LOW!) up to 985 on my Free Testosterone blood test. Felt 90% better, leaner and interested in things again.

Testosterone Cypionate (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: I am a practicing M.D. in my mid 30's and have had low T levels for 2 years (T =257). I tried Androgel for 1 year and ended up with no response. T level was minimally increased. My Endocrinologist recently switched me over to testosterone cypionate, 150mg every week. Excellent results. New energy, libido, attitude is positive again. If you find that the gels or creams do not work, you likely have an absorption issue with the medication. The intramuscular route is by far the best for me and others should try this route per MD monitoring.

Axiron (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: This is the most effective delivery system yet. In the past I have used 1) Testim - too smelly and left my upper arms full of acne and 2) Striant - somewhat effective but not as efficient in delivering the medicine into the bloodstream. I feel the difference with only 30 mg a day. I think Lilly has a winner here.

AndroGel (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: Works great. Raised my levels from 14 to 550 (220-880 'normal') which resulted from methadone usage. Very effective.
