User Reviews for AndroGel

AndroGel (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: The first thing I noticed was that my shirts were fitting better, they weren't so tightly fitting anymore. So I weighed myself and I was surprised to see that I had lost 15-17 pounds in the 2-3 months I had been on the Androgel. It took about 2-3 months to find my actual dose. I have noticed way better muscle tone, specially in my chest, shoulders & arms. I am also wearing jeans and shorts more comfortably, they don't fit so tight anymore and don't hurt around my waistline from being so tight. I'm back down to a size 32, much more solid & defined looking and feeling. Lost weight in my neck & face, lost that round looking face, now I have a square jawline and thinner, manlier face. I am able to think more clearly. More solid and longer lasting erections.

AndroGel (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: I got this after having some trouble performing and just not feeling as good as I used to. As a 91 year old, I don't get around like I used to, but the Androgel brought me back to life in many ways. I feel so much better after taking the 1% gel. I feel like I was back in the 40s again!

AndroGel (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: The first day I was on this medicine I didn't think about it until a few people at work said I seemed more energetic than usual. When I got home my wife said that not once that evening did I say how tired I was. I then realized that I wasn't tired as usual and felt like doing something other than sit on the couch. I have been on the medicine for 3 weeks and this 50 year old feels 30 again. The best way to describe how I felt before it was like I was in a fog and walking through corn syrup. That is gone and I feel great.

AndroGel (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: I've been using Androgel about a Year now. I'm 42, have had zero drive since early 30's Started me on 8-pumps, now to 9-pumps. I saw someone mention potential effects of Depression, it's not helped mine. I also use Cytomel. (Adjunct Depression Treatment--however also HYPOthyroid. Me no Muscle Mass/Depression/Weight Loss The most pronounced effects, *MUCH* firmer erections. (like 16 again). That alone is worth it (no need for Cialis). Definitely recommend that alone.

AndroGel (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: It works but I haven't tried any other forms of testosterone so I am not sure how well it is working. It has been helpful to me though.

AndroGel (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: I don't see a whole lot of reviews from younger men. I am 24 with all the usual symptoms as everyone else, such as no sex drive at all or motivation or energy. T levels were 260. Got prescribed two pumps a day from the VA...I feel slightly better after about a week but nothing great yet. I feel that I need to go up to at least 6 pumps but I will find out in the beginning of Dec when my next blood work is scheduled, until then I will keep hope that it starts working better.

AndroGel (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: I am 56 years old. I started out with very low Testosterone levels around 150. Once on Androgel the level peaked at about 500 which was our goal. At the higher testosterone achieved with 4 pumps I encountered a large weight gain (not all muscle either). I also experienced an alarming amount of breast enlargement and breast pain behind the nipple. While on Androgel for only a few months I experienced an increase in libido and the return of night/morning erections. I also experienced a remarkable increase in muscle strength.

AndroGel (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: I am 35 and in the past year I could feel I was losing everything and fast. Had my doc run some test and low testosterone came up. I was at 52, almost nothing and was definitely feeling it. Been on Androgel now for 6 MONTHS, KNOW MOST RECENT TEST ARE 456,and feeling much better.

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.

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!

AndroGel (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: I'm a 27 year old male who uses Fentanyl for chronic pain, and as a result, my testosterone dropped to 178. Aside from the obvious sexual dysfunctions from having low testosterone, I was constantly BURNING UP hot all the time, even with the AC down to 64 degrees! These hot flashes stopped within a week of me starting treatment, and my sexual functions improved dramatically. After a month my testosterone was 544, better, but still not where I'd like it, so I'm going to ask for the 7.5mg dose. I also have type 1 diabetes with insulin resistance, and the Androgel definitely helped the insulin resistance. This medicine looks and smells just like hand sanitizer and is very easy to use. The fumes can be pretty strong, but I got used to it.

AndroGel (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: Talk about an increase in hardness.

AndroGel (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: I am a 65 year old male who was feeling fatigued with little or no libido. My doctor tested my testosterone level and found it to be 200 and after explaining all the possible side effects ask me if Androgel 1% was something I would like to try. The best decision I ever made was saying yes. After 3 months and no side effects my energy level has returned to all aspects of my life and all my test results are normal.

AndroGel (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: Worked for a little while and had seen improvements in energy and a little in sex drive. But, if you are trying to get your significant other pregnant get your semen analyzed before and during treatment. My levels were non existent on Androgel! Once we switched Docs and treatment my semen levels went back to normal. Hope this helps

AndroGel (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: I am 44 years old and I suffer from low testosterone levels due to removal of an underscended testicle in 2009. I began with injectable testosterone in November 2010, but my doctor has switched me to Androgel which I apply to shoulders and stomach area as instructed. I have noticed a very positive change in my energy and also I do not have anymore hot flashes, mood swings, or tears like I had been experiencing due to levels dropping between scheduled injections. Androgel is one of the best medicines on the market and I would highly recommend that any men suffering from the effects of low testosterone talk to their doctor. If it works for you, it is well worth trying. You won't believe how your energy and stamina will increase.

AndroGel (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: I have been using AndroGel for the last two months and the results are great. More energy and more sex drive. I will be 50 soon and AndroGel makes me feel young again. Thanks to Androgel I do not need to take Viagra.

AndroGel (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: I am 54 and have been on Androgel for 4 months.1%. I have gone from number 84 to 450. My Dr. said the 1% is a low does and that I am doing great and it will continue. My nipples stick out which I have never had. Erections most of the day, which I like. I have started weights, pushups and situps and feeling wonderful. I was depressed but felt it was from my mother's death and my health had really taken a beating. Personally I feel better than I have in the last 5 years. So glad I had the test. Also most of my body hair has come back.

AndroGel (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: I'm a 47 year old who started out with 4 pumps of 1% Androgel after a few weeks my levels went from 250 to 450. General health I felt a lot better. Noticed improvement in my energy level. I was having a very difficult time motivating and always feeling weak. My energy level has come back. After about 2-3 weeks my doctor switched me to 2 pumps of the 1.62% Androgel. I still have my energy, but now having some of the side-effects listed. My urination is not so good. Short streams and much more often. Another side-effect is my breathing. Seem to have a heavy chest and some difficulty breathing. I'm going to see if I can go back down to the 1% gel to see if that helps.

AndroGel (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: I am 42 yo and have had no energy or ambition for the last 5-6 years. Had no clue that my testosterone may be low. Had it checked and it was 125 so went to see a Urologist who did more labwork and in one week it dropped to 88. Started me Androgel 5 daily and I cannot believe the difference it has already made. I feel alive again. I have my levels checked again tomorrow and I know they are higher. Every man should have their T checked. Low affects everything in your body.

AndroGel (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: I have been using Androgel for about 3-1/2 weeks now. 4 pumps a day( 5 grams), and I am finding no difference in mood, sex drive, libido, weight, or anything. I have been applying it as recommended, yet nothing. I do not know my numbers as of yet, as my Doctor prescribed this over the phone. I was hoping that this would help me turn the corner.

AndroGel (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: I had been using Cialis which worked for a boost for about four years, and in the fifth year even after taking a dose, I didn%u2019t have interest in sex. My Doctor ran blood test and determined my T level was low. For the past 4 month I have used the 2.5 gram Androgel packs daily. I generally feel better. I have lost my belly flab. My love interest is better although I still rely on the Cialis, but now I have total control of my orgasm. I have lost testicle size, in fact, at times they will ascend into the inguinal canal until I push them back out. In short this 64 year old would say that Androgel is a nice improvement.

AndroGel (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: I am 69 years old. Prior to starting 5 pumps daily of Andro Gel 5 months ago, T level was 207, low energy and almost no sex drive plus often could not maintain an erection. After only a couple of weeks, there was a big turnaround, good erections and libido what it was at age 40. Did notice I was a bit more aggressive. Then, about the 3rd month things went downhill with things back pretty much as they were before Andro Gel. Presently awaiting results of test to see where T levels stands.

AndroGel (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: Was on Androgel for 4 months, noticed very little difference in libido, energy, etc. At 45 years old, I was hoping for a bit more benefit. I decided after consulting with my doctor to get injections. This too has been somewhat underwhelming. I am not looking for huge improvement in mood, libido, etc., but I can't honestly say I have seen much difference on it or off it.

AndroGel (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: I'm 57 and been using 4 pumps daily of Androl for about one year. T levels were 140 now are over 500. I can't tell you how much better I feel. Had anxiety that needed an occasional Xanax. No longer. Libido improved significantly, not only feel stronger but I am stronger. Every guy should get the blood work done to see what his T levels are. I have had no side effects but a better outlook on life.
