User Reviews for Testosterone

Axiron (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: This was my first testosterone supplement. My testosterone level was 249. My doctor prescribed Axiron - 1 pump under each arm (60mg) daily. In about six weeks, my testosterone level rose to 766. My method of application was to wash under each arm with a soapy washcloth to remove any anti-perspirant, dry well, apply at bedtime. Then I would shower and apply anti-perspirant as normal each morning. Although the supplied instructions stated differently, I was told by my doctor that the anti-perspirant would block the absorption of the Axiron, so I made sure that it was all removed prior to application.

Axiron (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: I have been on it for 5 days, 2 squirts each arm. On day 3 I started feeling nausea. Day 4 I only did 1 squirt each arm and still felt the same. Day 5 I did not take any. Will try again tomorrow. My levels were 167 and I am 38 years old. I was tired all the time, gained weight, bad mood, not very happy doing things I used to enjoy. I really want this to work because I want to feel normal again. Still trying to get used to the application, works better if you use a hair dryer, dries a lot faster.

Testim (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: My husband had a really low sex drive..like headed for divorce court low.. He seemed here but not "here", sleeping after dinner, not interested in doing much.. so 6 days on the medicine and he is more alert and the sex, well let me just say, he seemed more fueled by the need, it was awesome. Now the smell.. I have no idea what people are complaining about, it must depend on your body, like some people can't eat garlic or smelling, it smells like he is wearing new deodorant, like when I sit close, I can't even smell him all the time. As far as me, we put his T-shirts in a tub with a lid do I don't touch and our animals won't come in contact. He uses disposable gloves and then washes his hands! This stuff may have saved our marriage!

testosterone for Hypogonadism, Male: I am 53 years old, started having depression issues and my wife told me I had the same symptoms she had before she went on hormone therapy. Had my testosterone checked and sure enough it was in the low range. I was about 280 which is the low end of normal but for someone my age too low. Doctor suggested injections to build it up in my system. First week I felt a difference within an hour after the shot. I felt like myself again and realized I hadn't felt this way IN YEARS. By the 4th day I started coming down, was told to get in the gym and work out which I suppose released more of the testosterone and felt better again. But by the 7th day started crashing. Just had my 2nd shot and feel great again.

Fortesta (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: I switched from Testim to Fortesta a year ago since Testim was causing high blood pressure. I am 43, my T levels were below 200, I had no libido and fatigue. I am now using 8 pumps per day, my PSA's have been great, my pressure is great, my muscle mass is growing, my T levels are above 700 and I am a sexual God according to my wife of 22 years. The sexual drive, performance, stamina and "size" have jumped by leaps and bounds. I'm VERY happy with Fortesta. I should note that the original dose of 4 pumps did nothing for me so my DR bumped it up and maintained it at 8.

Axiron (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: Started out with mild gas, then went to intestinal pain, bloating and diarrhea.

testosterone for Hypogonadism, Male: 48 year old obese male. I think I been suffering with low testosterone my whole life. I first tested last month with a Score of 78. I took my first shot 300mg and I felt great for about 9 days. It has reversed leg and foot pain and gave me energy like never before. I just took my second shot today and I am looking forward to a new life Thanks.

AndroGel (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: I recently turned 51 yrs old and have been on Androgen for 2.5 months. Started at two pumps/day and T level went from 280 to 190. Increased dosage to 3 pumps for one month and level went up to 201. I am now applying 4 pumps/day and other than a slight increase in mood, see no results yet. I shower at night and have recently started to shower in the morning before applying the gel. Not sure if this will help. After reading so many positive results, I have to admit I am disappointed.

Axiron (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: It's only been a week, and so far I feel nothing except irritated underarms, I'm assuming due to the alcohol content. I asked my doctor to check testosterone level during my latest physical due to aging, gaining weight, lack of sex drive and basically feeling blah. They were indeed low so she put me onto this.

Fortesta (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: I been taking Fortesta for a week, I can say my mood has been better but still feel drained. I hope that this really works for me due to the fact I lost my wife and kids over me not being me.

Axiron (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: I'm 56 had little energy, slept a lot and gained a good deal of weight. I have felt really good since I started Axiron. The change was immediate and dramatic. I look forward to taking it. My levels were very low and after two weeks of using Axiron the test showed the level was higher and the doctor was pleased. I feel a libido again and I have a lot more energy. My appetite is way down too, not sure that's an effect. When I use the applicator I hold it in one place against the skin for a few seconds before I move it around, then I slowly move it while pushing it in and out a little. Don't let it come off the skin and it now runs down my body rarely. Hopefully it keeps working. I like it a lot.

Testim (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: I had been using Androgel 5G dose but, began using Testim 5G dose in January due to changes in insurance coverage. I have found that the Testim has maintained my testosterone levels at the same levels as the Androgel. However, the tubes versus foil packets, are much harder to use and get all of the gel out. Hard to squeeze the tube when your hands are slippery. The biggest objection I have with Testim is the smell. The unique strong musky scent is overpowering. I don't understand why this product would need to be scented. I will change to another, product for myself the smell is so objectionable.

Axiron (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: I'm a 40 year old male who after about 5 yrs of slowly progressing into a grumpy, fat, couch potato, went and got checked for low T. Results showed it low at 250, with a free T level of 10, so the Dr put me on Axiron at 60 mg per day. Axiron is the only prescription I have tried, and I have been on it for three months. Got the three month results today and learned that my T levels (while taking Axiron) have DROPPED to 130 with a free T level of 3. I never saw the benefits that most of you have. This is the only place I saw mentioned that others have also had a decline in T while taking Axiron. I be it is a lot more common than we know.

testosterone for Hypogonadism, Male: Just recently got put on testosterone. I just did my first injection 3 days ago, feel pretty good so far. I have been a body builder most of my life. I'm only 20 by the way and my test levels were 266 after blood work from what I've read this is extremely low for my age.

testosterone for Hypogonadism, Male: For 20 years I have treated my hypogonadism with daily, very small injections of testosterone cypionate administered subcutaneously. Blood levels have been excellent and consistent. Dosage is easily fine-tuned if blood levels are too high or to low.

testosterone for Hypogonadism, Male: I have complained to Doctor for 14 yrs about low sex drive and erectile dysfunction. Every year doctor would test my Total T level and give me samples of the erectile dysfunction drug of the month and a script for 6 pills with or without refill. In that time I was treated for anxiety and insomnia. I also had surgery on my left shoulder for pain from unknown cause (no rotator cuff issue). Starting to have pain in right shoulder. I was in a very bad relationship and stayed cause I didn't think I could do any better. I was told to get Free T tested, I went to dr and asked what was my free T level last year, he had never tested it! It was low! I started to take testosterone cypionate and within 3 weeks I was off anxiety and insomnia medicine and right should pain is gone!

Testim (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: 49 yo. Hypertension and diabetes. No sex drive for the past year or so. Primary care doctor said no to T treatment because her test results said normal. I went to urologist who started me on the 1% tubes. 15 days in and already noticed sex drive changes. Concerned about blood pressure though. Seems higher but cardio doctor just changed medicine. I want to stick with it and see what comes up next. Smell and stickiness no problem.

testosterone for Hypogonadism, Male: I'm 33 years old and have no reason to be low on energy and motivation. In addition I had a slight depression and an inability to focus, like my head was in a fog. Went to my doctor to find out what was wrong. I wasn't on any other medications, I'm 5' 10" and 160 pounds and otherwise very healthy. Dr told me to exercise more which I did but was so tired that I just couldn't do anything. Went back to the dr. and he did a full blood work up. Testosterone was 206 (350 - 1100 was normal at my lab) and he gave me 200mg/ml injection. All symptoms were gone and my sex life has never been better. I feel like a new man, I had no idea just how much an effect my low T was having on my life. This is my first injection.

Axiron (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: Axiron is AWESOME. I am 47 and had similar experiences as most everyone else; constant fatigue, no energy or interest in anything, sex drive non-existent, after 8 hrs of sleep I felt like I needed 8 more and just generally felt like death most of the time. My T level was 135 when I saw my Urologist, after about 3 months of biweekly injections, I was up to 344. Then the Axiron was recommended. After the first application I felt turbo-charged! It took me about 2 days to get over the initial side effects, which were nausea and a headache, but after about 3 days these went away. I've been on it about 3 weeks now and I feel 19 again. Full of energy, sex drive through the roof, I just hope it keeps up. T levels at 701 now.

testosterone for Hypogonadism, Male: I have been on Testosterone for almost two years now under a doctors supervision. I had low libido, no energy and wanted to build more muscle. I am now 51 years old and have achieved what I wanted. I am currently taking 200MG/ML 1cc per week, and I am also on an estrogen blocker Anastrozole. I see my doctor every six months to check my T level, estrogen level, PSA and to have my prostate checked. The key here guys is to find a doctor interested in your overall health and not just raising your T.

Axiron (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: In one month Axiron brought my T levels from around 200, to 456 (at last check). Applying is a piece of cake & I honestly feel great. Sex life and overall mood has noticeably increased. I look forward to applying Axiron in the morning & it has truly changed my life.

Fortesta (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: I am a 54 year old male and experienced erectile dysfunction for many years. T levels were about 80 although I work out regularly and carry a fair amount of muscle. Dr put me on Testim for about a year and my levels went up to about 400 but the gel smells terrible, takes a long time to dry and is sticky when dry. Dr then recommended I try Fortesta. It comes in a pressurized pump that is easy to apply on your thighs. It dries within seconds and has no smell at all! Within a few days, I started to feel stronger during weight training and experienced more vivid dreams. After 6 weeks, T levels were almost 800! I had also tried the T implant, called Testopel, but I like Fortesta better. I do shower before bed to avoid transmitting to wife.

AndroGel (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: Run down, tired, no motivation. Was tested and levels at 55. Took AndroGel and a few months after levels went up to 605. Being 45, I felt great! However, now it has been aprox 6 months and still using same amount of AndroGel (1 packet in am and 1 packet in pm) and my levels have dropped again, to 167).

AndroGel (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: Day 3, and already have alot more energy. Some itching at application site (upper arms and shoulders). Nothing yet on the desire side, but hoping for the best!
