For Hypogonadism, Male "I'm back with AndroGel packet (1 in the morning) after stopping the medication 2 years ago due to elevated liver count and negative side effects. I'm now 50 and was diagnosed at 200 count a few months ago and decided to try it once again. I am no longer dealing with hot flashes, depression, and mood swings - this cured me. However, I have enlarged breasts, slight weight gain, swollen ankles, and not sleeping as well. Back to the Dr. next week to discuss options. Overall satisfied but may need to adjust script somehow."

For Hypogonadism, Male "I'm 49 years old, and my 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."

For Hypogonadism, Male "I've been using AndroGel about a year now. I'm 42, have had zero drive since early 30s. 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."

For Hypogonadism, Male "I had ALL (acute lymphoblastic leukemia) then started suffering from having no drive, depression, etc. My Dr. said to try AndroGel 1.62%, which he prescribed. Gradually, I started feeling better. Now, 10 months after starting AndroGel, I no longer suffer the psychological problems, which is a big, big help. This stuff costs so, so much - for 2 bottles of 1.62% pump, it is $985. The price is ridiculous!!"

For Hypogonadism, Male "Testosterone was down to 88, felt depressed, no desire to do anything, just miserable. 5 days on 10 grams and feeling much better already!"
