User Reviews for Testosterone

AndroGel (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: I am almost 50. I've been using Androgel for 8 months. Before I started using I was tired all the time, had no energy, and had very little sex drive. I have had no side effects, and I feel like I'm 25 again!

Testim (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: I like the small tubes, easy to carry around if I am out of town, to stop the sticky, you have to rub it in until it's dry. I can't smell anything either, must be me, it works so well I only use it every other day. Testim also gives you a year of free co-pays! Now if they could only add a drug into it to keep my 21 yr old girlfriends mouth shut for a while my life would be perfect.

testosterone for Hypogonadism, Male: Early in my life-after a terrible head on drunk driving accident- it was discovered that I had a cyst growing on my pituitary. And, after the crash and growth of the cyst everything changed. Needless to say my testrosterone levels crashed to 5% of normal levels which caused a Bipolar and Androgenic Depression. Eventually, through self study and analysis I got diagnosed with hypogonadism and started taking ANDROID (which is Methyl Testosterone). After this my whole life turned around. Now, I have moved over to Testosterone Cyp. I have perfected the "cocktail" with the following: 200mg Test.; Quercetin; and, DHEA. I am a new man now! Thank GOD!

AndroGel (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: I have been using AndroGel for almost 6 months. Then, I had a Testosterone reading of 45. Now, I am over 700 and feel much better about many things, including sex drive and desire as well as general outlook on life. I do have VERY tender nipples and find that somewhat annoying, but I am hoping that will subside.

AndroGel (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: Was feeling depressed, tired all the time and became extremely sore in leg muscles, sex-drive low. I was only 26 at the time this all began. Had seen several doctors over next 2 years and they kept treating me with depression medication. Finally a doctor tested my testosterone levels and it was 165, started January 2008 on testosterone shot 200mg ever 2 weeks. Worked great for 8 months my levels came up to 550 was feeling good. I began to get very tired and sore again in August 2008, my doctor switched me to Androgel and immediately began to feel better. I used Androgel over a year now my strength is back, sex drive is awesome, mood better and noticing muscle tone getting larger. Just recently had levels checked and came back high 1234 still using Androgel.

AndroGel (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: Great product - I used it for a year with great results and no side effects. During quarterly blood tests found my T level was 64 with symptoms of low testosterone. Two weeks into a new batch my levels returned to normal. Reported to customer service who gave all kind of excuses that implied my misapplying it. I could supply lab results but because I had none of the previous batch for them to test they refused to be of any help. Switched to Testim but like others don't like smell or stickiness.

AndroGel (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: I have used Androgel and for the price have found it relatively ineffective. Once insurance ran out I could not afford it so looked for an alternative. Also I started to suffer from really bad skin problems with the Androgel and now I've found out the the FDA has issued warnings about the product.

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.

AndroGel (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: Testostrone was down to 88, felt depressed, no desire to do anything, just miserable. 5 days on 10 grams and feeling much better already!

Delatestryl (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: Have used this for 2 months. Seems to be working. Feel better and more energy, better concentration. 180 mg every two weeks. Androgel did not work after two months. Count now 700. Injection difficult to get used to, but more convenient than gel.

Testim (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: Although Testim works well the smell is something fierce. I liked the smell at first but realized it's an entity in itself and was with me and the family 24/7. I switched to Androgel.

Testim (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: I am a 46 yo male. Memory and tiredness, slight depression. Diagnosed with low testosterone (222 on a scale of 200-800). Have used both Testim and Androgel. Like the way Androgel comes in a pump bottle and is not as sticky as Testim, but my wife and other women have commented that they like the smell of testim. I now use testim, applying one tube every other day because my wife says I'm more like myself at that dosage. Had an initial drop of testosterone to 201 when first started treatmant, but testosterone now at 547 at last lab. I feel much better.

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.

Androderm (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: Using the androderm patches has helped raise my levels and fell better. However, the patches do not stick, and I must use strips of tape to hold them on.

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.

testosterone for Hypogonadism, Male: 48yr old on Testosterone Cypionate 200mg/ml 0.5cc injections every 10days for hypogonadism diagnosed back in 1999. Tried Androderm for a month or so but broke me out in blisters and itchy. Been on this dosage for years. Problem last 3 days I feel fatigued and increased appetite, have been gaining weight yearly, now almost 50lbs but not muscle. Recent testing shows 9yrs older and 2 days after injection a result of 600 which should be much higher. Also estrogen levels are now high. As men get older our bodies begin to convert more free testosterone to bound version DHT & into estrogen so this isn't a surprise now I've read 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!

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.

testosterone for Hypogonadism, Male: I started with 0.5ml shot and did not feel any improvements in my condition, I was told to go up to 1ml per week and I just took the shot in my arm. I advice any person not to get this shot in the arm. I am so sore, I cannot move my arm. I have heard that Cypionate does tend to sting and leave a person sore for days after the injection. I am not a person who usually complains from pain since I have a high tolerance level to pain. I advice people to take this shot below the waist.

Testim (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: My understanding is that using a gel helps provide a more even dose that going with shots. I do have to comment on the strong smell of Testim. Its not a bad smell however it is too strong. Would you want to go into an important business meeting after having dumped on a half bottle of some strong perfume? Not me. I am considering asking my doctor for alternatives to Testim just because of its smell.

Testim (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: Used Testim for 30 days worked well. Total testosterone increased from 298 to 631, with 5G. My family could not stand the smell of Testim. The smell was so poor I wouldn't apply if I was going out in public. Testim would remain very sticky for an extended time. Would have to keep pulling my shirt off my stuck skin throughout the day.

AndroGel (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: Works great. Raised my testosterone levels from 180 to 950 in just 2 months. I feel much better sex drive and I lost weight too, gets rid of belly fat, highly recommended.

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.

testosterone for Hypogonadism, Male: I was on Androgel for low T but I developed a rash on stomach area and my doctor switched me to testosterone cypionate 200mg once a month. The once a month shot works well for 10 days then I am exhausted. Talked to doctor and he said lets give 300mg a try but only once a month. Still feel exhausted after 10 days. Going to give a endocrinologist a try to see about giving myself shots 2 times a month with the 200mg. Have just one testicle that doesn't work well and had a 2 piece penile implant 3 months ago that works great.

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.
