Testosterone Cypionate (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: 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.

Testosterone Cypionate (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: 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.

Testosterone Cypionate (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: I am a practicing M.D. in my mid 30's and have had low T levels for 2 years (T =257). I tried Androgel for 1 year and ended up with no response. T level was minimally increased. My Endocrinologist recently switched me over to testosterone cypionate, 150mg every week. Excellent results. New energy, libido, attitude is positive again. If you find that the gels or creams do not work, you likely have an absorption issue with the medication. The intramuscular route is by far the best for me and others should try this route per MD monitoring.

Testosterone Cypionate (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: 25 year old male, T levels in the 200's (average).
Started off taking 200mg (1cc) every 14 days. Had the roller coaster effect, eventually switch to 10 days, but because of my schedule, doctor told me I could go to 7 days. Been on it for 2 years, and never had any issues except for reading too many posts and thinking I needed something else such as an estrogen blocker. Never got man-boobs, lumps, or reversed side effects, so I think I will trust my body and not someone else's opinion.

Testosterone Cypionate (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: I have used the 1-ml once a month for several years and if I don't get it on time I start to feel tired and my anxiety increases. Usually after the dose I start to feel better in a couple days. After about 2-3 weeks I start to feel tired again. The doctor won't increase the dosage though and I don't understand why. Also, PLEASE don't inject in your arm! There are several very good u-tube videos out there on how to inject in the leg. Take your time it is very thick and oily, don't rush it. Make sure it makes it into the leg muscle not just the skin.

Testosterone Cypionate (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: 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.

Testosterone Cypionate (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: 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.

Testosterone Cypionate (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: 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).

Testosterone Cypionate (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: I'm a 43 Year-old male who had been experiencing the classic symptoms of "low T" for about 4 years. I didn't believe when my mother told me that men go through "the change" as well. Well, we do. And it is just as debilitating. I inject 200 mg/mL testosterone cypionate every two weeks after a level in the 120's in my blood test. I used to be a (natural) bodybuilder and always felt that I must have very high testosterone because of the ease and size of my gains in size and strength. Other guys would ask if I was on steroids. My point is that this condition can happen to any man. It began at around 39 with me and I do not believe I'm unique.

Testosterone Cypionate (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: 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.

Testosterone Cypionate (testosterone): I have weight lifted most of my life and being a little person of 5"8 I was always upset that bigger people were just bigger. I bought thousands worth of over the counter products that didn't do much but give me gynecomastia. I saw a Doctor about this and found my T-levels where very low almost to low 260 at 33 years old so I started the injections. I am no longer depressed and tired and feel 18 again. These shots are great. I am not even weightlifting yet and have gained my muscle mass back. I haven't noticed any side effects yet.

Testosterone Cypionate (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: 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.

Testosterone Cypionate (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: Early in my life-after a terrible head on drunk driving accident- it was discovered that I had a cyst growing on my pituitary. And, after the crash and growth of the cyst everything changed.
Needless to say my testrosterone levels crashed to 5% of normal levels which caused a Bipolar and Androgenic Depression. Eventually, through self study and analysis I got diagnosed with hypogonadism and started taking ANDROID (which is Methyl Testosterone). After this my whole life turned around. Now, I have moved over to Testosterone Cyp.
I have perfected the "cocktail" with the following: 200mg Test.; Quercetin; and, DHEA. I am a new man now! Thank GOD!

Testosterone Cypionate (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: I've been on testosterone injections for about a month. I can't begin to describe how much better I feel. I went to my doctor, an anti aging specialist. These doctors are the best for getting testosterone. My test level was 305..my previous doctor from Kaiser said 305 was normal..But actually, I find out from my new doctor that 305 is normal, but for an 90 year old man! So now I inject every 3 days and also take Arimidex to keep man boobs from sprouting and to keep the excess test from converting to estrogen..taking every 3 days prevents emotional roller coaster effect. All my body hair is growing back that I lost and I have a lot of energy!
Testosterone Cypionate (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: I am a 37 year old man that has gone through testicular cancer twice, so I produce no testosterone on my own. It has taken a year to find the right dosage for me, but now I get 1ml weekly, and feel great. I always get it in my buttocks, and just alternate the sides, week to week.
Testosterone Cypionate (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: I am a 53 year old male who was diagnosed with Hypogonadism (188) and hypothyroidism. Started Armour Thyroid and Testosterone Cypionate 5 months ago. My Doctor adjusted the dosage 3 x and I am currently at 200mg (1ml) per week and I feel great. Increased libido (my wife thanks me, often) no more cold chills and an increase of 10 lbs of muscle mass. I have noticed no side effects. My wife does the weekly injections in the guts. I recommend a 23 gauge needle (1' or 1 1/2") to minimize the pain as I find them much more comfortable than the 21 gauge. Please find the right Doctor. You do not have to suffer and you too can have a much better quality of life.
Testosterone Cypionate (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: This injection has helped my sex life and my overall level of energy! I had no sex drive what so ever and now I do! Just hope that I don't grow a hair in places I don't need to. I have gained about 5 pounds since my injection.
Testosterone Cypionate (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: I was diagnosed with hypogonadism (low testosterone) about ten years ago and started Androgel. I had no problem keeping my testosterone level in the normal range with the Androgel but it never made me feel better, i.e., no libido, low energy, depression. When I switched to Testosterone Cypionate it was like the sun came out. My libido came back as did my energy. I would recommend this to anyone with low testosterone and see what happens.
Testosterone Cypionate (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: 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.
Testosterone Cypionate (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: Age 33, and stronger than ever I still suffered no sex drive and easily agitated. Now after 1st month and 2 doses of 200mg later, I feel even better and my wife finally got her man back. It has already made our tension dissolve. Even my trainer workout partner said no way I have low T. But tested at 267. Get tested, well worth it.
Testosterone Cypionate (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: It has returned my quality of life. My "apathy" and malaise were so profound I couldn't live even a very simple life style. All I did was sleep.
Testosterone Cypionate (testosterone): I am 34 male. Diagnosed with osteoporosis. I had a 900 steel beam fall on me in 2001. I have had many stomach surgeries and also have an ileostomy and lost my left kidney. Been taking 300 mg of morphine for pain last ten years. I have been in deep severe depression for years. I have been on 100ml every 2 weeks of testosterone for a month and it has changed my life. My level was 325. I have interest in life now mentally feel really good. After 7-8 days I start to feel tired and not so good but, after my shot I feel great! Going to talk with the doctor to maybe every 7 to 10 days! Thanks for reading.
Testosterone Cypionate (testosterone) for Hypogonadism, Male: I'm 47 years old, my T levels were tested anywhere from a low of 56 to a high of 255. I used a natural testosterone cream from a compounding shop for almost a year, no change. My doctor then put me on 1 tube of Testim per day, no change. He then put me on 2 tubes per day, still no change. He finally gave me 1cc trstosterone cypionate per week and my levels are now around 850, and that was a full week after my last injection. I believe the half life is 12 days so my levels 2 or 3 days after an injection are probably over 1,000. Feel great, losing belly fat and putting on a lot of muscle.
