User Reviews for Testosterone

Axiron (testosterone): 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

AndroGel (testosterone): 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.

testosterone: I have been on testosterone cypionate for over a year. Great results. Very good muscle mass, great sex drive and erections more energy, and BETTER NIGHT VISION. I have astigmatism.

Testim (testosterone): Was recently diagnosed with low T (185). I am 45 yrs young and have always been active! Noticed in past recent months that I had no energy, headaches, low sex drive, no ambition.. etc. Was beginning to think I was depressed (although had no reason). After being diagnosed, my doctor placed me on 5mg tubes, once a day. Smell at first is a very heavy alcohol smell, but then turns into a lighter smelling cologne! Been taking for just over a month now, wife says YEA! Sex drive is out the roof, started back exercising, back to my 18 yr old self again. Levels haven't been check yet since beginning, but I'm sure its higher thanks to Testim! Would highly recommend it. Will give update after levels checked again.

AndroGel (testosterone): 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.

testosterone: I am a 53 year old male diagnosed with hypogonadism and I had 4 injections so far. The first two were 200mg but lab tests after two injections still came up low (183) so I am now on 300 mg. Started home injections to avoid a trip to the doctor in between blood work. No problem but not for the faint of heart. I now have increased energy and am starting to feel more "normal" Coupled with Hypothyroidism treatment I have seen a leaner more muscular stature start to emerge. My doctor also suggested Saw Palmetto along with the testosterone and that had minimized the minor side effect of body acne from the higher doses.

Androderm (testosterone): My only problem with this medicine is that it costs $4000 a year or $333.43 month.

Testim (testosterone): I'll finish my first week of use in two days. I appreciate the postings here, so I'll keep you updated with my progress. 45 yrs. old. I was just diagnozed wit Low-T. Dr. didn't share the number, but said it was on the floor. He prescribed two tubes a day. Haven't noticed any changes yet, but staying hopeful. The alcohol scent dissipates quickly, but then I am left with what I describe as a sanitizer/soapy scent that can't be masked with cologne. This may become a problem in the long term. I'm using gloves after two days to apply the gel in order to avoid the smelly hands. The stickiness is annoying rather than problematic. Thanks for all the prior info. I'll check back.

Androderm (testosterone): My doctor started me off on 5mg patches. The patches created itchy, red "polka dots" on my body. The red areas were about one and one-half inches in diameter. They frequently itched and sometimes the red area would become irritated and swollen. The worst part is that it took at least two weeks for the spots to disappear. I stopped using the patches after one month. I asked my doctor for AndroGEL. The gel does not give me any irritation at all. The gel comes in small pre-measured packets. After applying, you must then wash your hands. With the patches, I didn't need to disrobe to apply them. With the gel, you pretty much need to remove your shirt (or pants) so that you can rub the gel into your skin.

AndroGel (testosterone): 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): 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): 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.

AndroGel (testosterone): I'm 49 years old and T level was 254. Normal for a 75 year old and that's how I felt. No energy, depression, lack of motivation, libido zero. I felt like I had turned into a fat 8 year old girl. After only 4 days on the Androgel, I feel better than I have felt in 15 years! Lots of energy, thought processes sharper, motivation has returned. Too soon to tell on the ED symptoms but otherwise it feels like a miracle. I think I'm getting my life back.

Axiron (testosterone): At first I thought this would be easy to apply-like deodorant. It was a water substance that was real messy and time consuming to apply. I am asking for another "gel".

Testim (testosterone): Well, I've been on the 5g daily tube of Testim for a week now, and I'm beginning to wonder when/if I'll see an impact. The Doctor didn't share my T number, except to comment that it was low. The pharmacist didn't have a lot of instruction on how to use it, except to rub it into my forearm...WRONG: Shoulders, according to a DVD mini disk that I found...very helpful. I'm not sure what the value of washing off the gel or showering after two hours is. I DO smell it initially, and have read all the warnings to keep it off others, women, kids, towels, etc... but why would I want to wash off the medicine? It may just be my imagination, but I find I am thinking of sex more (fantasizing) but have not touched my wife since starting this yet.

AndroGel (testosterone): Initially I had injections for a few years. It raised the red blood cell count significantly. Did not find a significant improvement with the use. T levels were below normal levels and injections brought levels to 'normal'. Started using Androgel a few years ago. Initially 6 applications daily, then tweaking down and up to bring the red blood count to within safe range. Had improved T levels with Androgel. However, lacking sex drive, lack of energy, being tired, and not much improvement with erection. In short.... a mixed feeling about its use.

testosterone: I went to my Doctor complaining about fatigue. After a few blood tests, we learned that I had low T. So I started off on the gels. 10g of Testim worked great but it was causing very high peaks daily that were causing unwanted side effects, specifically breakouts. So I was switched to Androgel which my body wasn't absorbing at all. After Androgel, my T levels was worst than before. I have been on 200mg IM of Testosterone Cypionate every 7 Days for the past 5 months and it's been life changing. Energy levels are back up and got my zest for life back.

AndroGel (testosterone): 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

testosterone: I have been taking 200mg every 10 days for 6 months now. All I can say is what a difference, energy, sex drive, everything you have heard (good is true).

AndroGel (testosterone): 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.

AndroGel (testosterone): 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.

Testim (testosterone): I was on put on Testim because there is apparently a link between people taking opioid pain medications and a loss of testosterone production. I didn't wash my arms before I applied it and used 5g a day and I was right in the target zone. I didn't like my shrunken testicles nor did I like the stickiness nor having to rub it in. So I stopped using it and was fine for a bit but again dropped below the target. So I started again but washed my arms prior to applying and found that it shot my way over the range. I didn't initially make the connection between the two so now I am trialing using 1/2 tub a day which eliminates the sticky feeling, easier to rub in and the non-decaying 1/2 life is a huge plus and I only smell it when I apply it.

AndroGel (testosterone): 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.

Androderm (testosterone): I chase all the women daily like I was 18 again.

AndroGel (testosterone): I was put on Testim about 5 years ago, due to my T-number at 40! Before Testim felt lousy, gained weight and had trouble with erections. I didn't like the Testim because I got stuck to the bedsheets. That stuff is like glue! And I got a DVT from it. At least that's what a hematologist diagnosed. So I switched to Androgel and have been on it and Coumadin ever since. I am told that all the literature inside the Androgel box states it has caused blood clots, so I am very careful. Put it this way, I was in ICU for 16 days and they found NO clotting problems whatsoever.
