"In October of 2015, I am 65. I had a low normal T level of 362 and low libido. My urologist prescribed Axiron, one swipe a day. After a month, it went up, but only to 429. He said I could move the dose up to two swipes a day. One month later, in mid-December, my T level had gone down to 407. After some disappointment, I decided to keep at it for another month. Today, February 9, 2016, I got the results of the lab work from last week. It is 407! I did not know why I was getting no results. Am I the only person who has gotten no response from this product? What could account for this, even at increased dosage? I have heard of a nasal spray, but I don't know if it is available. Anyone with a like experience or suggestions."

"I am a 50 y/o male who was experiencing very low energy and libido. Even getting up off the sofa was like a chore. My primary doc did a testosterone test, and I came in at 106. The doctor was stunned, so he drew another blood sample. He called later in the week and said that I had dropped to 98. He immediately sent me to an endocrinologist who put me on Axiron. Did it for a month and felt no improvements, and the blood sample came in at a paltry 208. He wanted to go another month, but I demanded going to testosterone cypionate injections. I now do one injection every week and immediately felt less lethargic and began to enjoy sex again. While I am glad that Axiron helps many men, it did ZERO for me."

"I have been using Axiron for 3 months and have experienced no noticeable positive effects. Still have low libido, no morning erections, lack of penile sensitivity, weak orgasms, and lethargy. Going to try injections ASAP."

"I'm 59, in good shape, pretty well preserved. Prostate removed due to cancer. Levels were around 150. Started Axiron and energy level, libido improved. Levels now around 650. Happy with results but having redness under arms and a few small skin tags. I started putting on my calves until I can get my doctor to return my calls."

"I have low T - it came in at 160. I am 72 years of age, been using Axiron for 7 months. My dose is 60 mg per day, which is 2 pumps. I raised my level to 530, which is so-so for me since my testosterone level has always been 600-750 through my late 50s and 60s and before it suddenly dropped to 160. I previously used the injections for the past 10 years, which would raise my level to 1500-2000. At this level, I was physically much stronger and somewhat more energized. My assessment of Axiron is that it is OK, that's about it. On a scale of 1-10, I would rate it 4-5. The injections are a definite 9-10. I would not pay the $500 per month for Axiron, however, my insurance covers most of my copay, which is $24 per month."

"After the first couple of days, it felt as if it made a difference, but that could've just been psychosomatic effects. Basically, I haven't noticed any improvements in myself. If anything, I have had a slight decrease in my mood, energy levels, and overall motivation. I will continue using the product for at least another month, and in the meantime, get my levels checked to see if I'm getting any sort of benefit from using this product. I will provide an update by next month."

"I was on Androgel for 3 years and had marginal results with 4-6 pumps. I am now using Axiron (Axel-Rod), and within 2 days of 3 pumps of Axiron, I noticed energy, sex drive, and the desire to do things like go girl-watching at 46--then I remembered I was married. I am seriously impressed. The shots are hard on my heart as I have premature atrial contractions (PACs) and premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) after administering. The application for me of Axel-Rod is messy - I use a glove and one pump at a time. The applicator is dumb. But, the product is awesome. Cheers."

"I had some weird side effects while on this medication. I experienced gout in one ankle, then I had a tooth abscess, then I had a sinus infection, and then tooth pain. Not sure if these things were actually side effects of Axiron or just a coincidence. I felt incredible in between the side effects, though, and slept better and had more energy. Not sure if I will continue taking it."

"Lilly told me that my undershirt is still a risk to my family after 10 hours. How am I supposed to manage that? Many people do laundry in my house. Shirts are in baskets and the laundry chute. I can't get everyone to wash their hands every time they touch something of mine."

"It's only been a week, and so far I feel nothing except irritated underarms. I'm assuming due to the alcohol content. I asked my doctor to check testosterone level during my latest physical due to aging, gaining weight, lack of sex drive, and basically feeling blah. They were indeed low, so she put me onto this."

"I was on a gel before, and I'm going back. My doctor thought this one would be easier for me to apply, but the application process is a mess. Plus, it takes longer for me to apply and sometimes gets on my hands anyway, so what's the point? My levels aren't any better than they were before. Plus, I had to pay $25 for the script."

"At first, I thought this would be easy to apply-like deodorant. It was a watery substance that was really messy and time-consuming to apply. I am asking for another 'gel.'"
