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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

I've been using Testim for just 6 days now, based on low free-T and low sex drive. One 50mg tube of the 1% creme a day.
Can't say I notice anything about it except a very strong smell.
It is very possible however, that my wife likes the smell - she seems to be much more "interested" in me just since I've been applying the stuff.

After 3 weeks of applying Testim daily I went from 140(LOW!) up to 985 on my Free Testosterone blood test. Felt 90% better, leaner and interested in things again.

I started to take Testim for a month. Because, of low energy not to mention motivation and ambition. The first blood test results said I have low testoterone... I took it for three weeks. Insurance wrote a letter saying they need two test to prove that is the case. I went off for a week, the worst week of my life. Testim really helped me after fifteen years of being diagnosed manic-depressed.

I started using 50 mg a day about a year ago and after 3 months I still had a very low Testosterone levels. So my Doctor prescribed 100 mg a day and have been on 100 mg a day for about 9 months. I got my sex drive back, started losing my belly fat and got interested in going to the gym and have added about 30 lbs of lean muscle and I get comments often about how young and muscular I look for a 60 year old man. I feel better than I did when I was 20 years old.
