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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Have been on testosterone cypionate as prescribed by doctor at 200 mcg bi-weekly. Have noticed much increased energy and libido (I am a 58 year old man) and also strength-building. It has also sharpened my mental concentration. I was hypo-gonadal with 330 T level.
