For Hypogonadism, Male "Axiron is AWESOME. I am 47 and had similar experiences as most everyone else: constant fatigue, no energy or interest in anything, sex drive non-existent. After 8 hrs of sleep, I felt like I needed 8 more and just generally felt like death most of the time. My T level was 135 when I saw my Urologist. After about 3 months of biweekly injections, I was up to 344. Then the Axiron was recommended. After the first application, I felt turbo-charged! It took me about 2 days to get over the initial side effects, which were nausea and a headache, but after about 3 days these went away. I've been on it about 3 weeks now and I feel 19 again. Full of energy, sex drive through the roof. I just hope it keeps up. T levels at 701 now."

For Hypogonadism, Male "At 54, I had little energy by day's end. I was falling asleep in a chair after dinner. For the first time ever, my libido was diminished. I was moody and depressed. I also had problems concentrating at work. On 60 mg for a month, all symptoms turned around except libido. My doctor moved me to 90 mg. I have been on that dosage for 2 weeks and seem to have regular headaches."

For Hypogonadism, Male "Same symptoms as most other reviewers. Been on Axiron for about a month now. Feeling significantly better. Mood, energy, and sex drive are way up. Noticed slight sinus burning/headaches, but I'm not sure they are associated with Axiron. Underarm redness and burning have been pretty significant, but bearable. Don't know levels yet. Another test to come."

"Feel better after two weeks, but the smell is objectionable. Takes multiple washings to remove from clothes. My wife has allergies to scents, and the odor gives her a headache. She also feels aggressive just from the aroma. I have been extremely careful about avoiding contamination. One of our cats even goes nuts smelling my T-shirt."
