User Reviews for AndroGel

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Have been using it since released, Excellent. Injections were a pain. No complications, no negative sire reactions. Pump is the best way to go.

Just started on the gel. I sleep better and feel like I have my motivation back. Girlfriend notices the difference also.

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.

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.

I have been on AndroGel for two months now and I can say this is the best I have felt in the last 5 years. I feel like I am 20 years old again. 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. I have lost over 15 lbs in 2 months. And I have more engery than I know what to do with..And the wife has no complaints what so ever.

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.

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

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!

Works great. Raised my levels from 14 to 550 (220-880 'normal') which resulted from methadone usage. Very effective.

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.

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.

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.

Been using androgel for about 18 months now. Started in May 2009 with four pumps a day and felt great and my erections were firm and sex was great. But over time my T levels started dropping, so in December 2009 I was moved up to 5 pumps. In August, almost like a light switch went off my sex drive nosedived and lost interest in sex. In October I had my physical and found that my T level had dropped to 284 which is low. I'm 52, workout four days a week in great shape. My urologist moved me to 8 pumps a day since October 23 and to date still don't feel any different and there is no sex drive. Still no erections or the ability to maintain one. Any thoughts on this. It has been 18 days since I went to 8 pumps.

Testostrone was down to 88, felt depressed, no desire to do anything, just miserable. 5 days on 10 grams and feeling much better already!

Just got my tests back from the doctor. T levels were 951... Up from 88 in one month ! Apparently I'm applying it correctly. I apply it to my hip bones, top of shoulders and outer and upper arms, flanks. I don't let none of it go to waste. Just try to take this from me. I feel I have a new found wealth. Thank you.

About a month in and so far so good! I'm 48 years and T level was 300. Doctor has me on 4 pumps but I just had my blood tested again yesterday so we'll see where I am and maybe adjust from there. It's amazing how well I feel in just this short period. Lost 8 pounds in 3 weeks and muscle tone is changing rapidly. It's almost like I'm looking at the world through "rose colored glasses"....everything just seems more like it should be to me. I REALLY hope this holds up as I've not felt better in a long time.

I am 60 yrs old. I have been on Androgel for just almost 3 weeks. I went to my doctor in September sharing that I have no energy sex desire for years, and felt worthless. My doctor did numerous blood test including on for testosterone. It came back at 140. I had no idea there was a problem. My doctor suggested the shots every two weeks but said that they can wear off well before my next visit. Suggested Androgel 0.5 in a pump rubbed on daily. It works. I haven't felt this good and full of energy in 15 to 20 years. The only side effect I have experienced at this point is that my testicles, which were the size of Advocado seeds, are now about the size of pistachios and are a bit tender at times. I follow the directions exactly and apply after shower.

I have been using Androgel 1% for ten days (only). I feel much better already. Feeling better everyday. My T-levels were 88. I am 49 years old. Don't know what my levels are now, but I certainly feel good changes. Energy, sleep, erections, mental alertness: All better.. I go back to doctor next month. I will fill you in.

An intro: I was dealt a traumatic brain injury that landed me in a coma for 19 days some years back. I've faced issues such as anger, paranoia, suspicion so bad. I wouldn't trust my own doctor! That went on for well 'over' a decade before I heard about Low T. Then I researched, arranged an appointment, had lab work done to find out Low and Behold; I was dealing with a case of Low T, on a big scale. Within the 1st 2 weeks of therapy, differences were like night and day! I honestly have not felt this good, or more with life in general since being on Androgel. I'm finishing up month number five with regular lab tests and point blank: I feel great! More energy with a tremendous relief of many symptoms.

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.
