For Hypogonadism, Male "Been using for 2 years. Overall, it does what it's supposed to. At 52, I was just feeling out of it. Tired all the time, loss of energy, spare tire weight gain, and some erectile dysfunction. Tested at 278. Started with shots, and AndroGel combined, then just AndroGel for the last year. The shots were far more effective and cheaper, but my T levels would go way up then way down before the next shot. The gel keeps it steady. I have lost a lot of waistline, don't need naps anymore, and sex life is back to what it was in my 30s."

For Hypogonadism, Male "Was feeling depressed, tired all the time and became extremely sore in leg muscles, sex drive low. I was only 26 at the time this all began. Had seen several doctors over next 2 years and they kept treating me with depression medication. Finally, a doctor tested my testosterone levels and it was 165, started January 2008 on testosterone shot 200mg every 2 weeks. Worked great for 8 months, my levels came up to 550, and I was feeling good. I began to get very tired and sore again in August 2008, my doctor switched me to AndroGel and immediately began to feel better. I used AndroGel for over a year now, my strength is back, sex drive is awesome, mood better, and I'm noticing muscle tone getting larger. Just recently had levels checked and came back high 1234, still using AndroGel."

For Hypogonadism, Male "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 a 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."
