For Hypogonadism, Male "I'm a 31-year-old male who has been on Axiron for a month. I noticed I was feeling tired and moody, but had no sexual side effects. I had my doc check my T levels, and it came back at 179. He sent me to a urologist who checked my T levels again, and it had dropped 10 points in 2 weeks to 169. He started me on Axiron with 2 pumps under each arm. This made me feel like I was going to come out of my skin, much like how ephedrine makes you feel. I called my doc, and he said to go to 1 pump under each arm. That seemed to work fine with no side effects. After 2 or 3 days, my energy levels and mood had improved. I went back to the doc after 2 weeks on Axiron to get my T level checked, and it was at 1300! I go back in 3 months to get checked again."

For Hypogonadism, Male "I just want to see if anyone has had this experience. My husband started Axiron 4 weeks ago, and the day he started it, miraculously, his personality changed. He has an extremely low sex drive, with a T level on the lowest side of normal levels, but the main reason he started Axiron was due to his irritable, moody, crabby personality. The thing is, he bought a new car around the same time, so it is possibly a combination of things as to why his mood is not so crappy. I actually like spending time with him now, and I guess I shouldn't worry as to why his persona has improved greatly, but I'm just curious. He is 46."

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 "For about 8 months or so, I had started to feel completely different than I had ever felt in life. Now at 53 years old, I don't expect to feel like 20, but I sure didn't want to feel dead either. No interest in things, no libido at all, depressed, moody, and didn't care. I had no energy... none! My first thought was it was thyroid related since I suffer from hypothyroidism and just thought the meds needed to be changed. My doctor and I discussed it, took the various blood tests, etc. The thyroid was fine, but my testosterone levels had fallen almost 200 points since the previous test about a year ago. So, my doc put me on a one-month trial of Axiron, and what a difference. Numbers up 100, no more complaints!"

For Hypogonadism, Male "I have been on it for 5 days, 2 squirts each arm. On day 3, I started feeling nausea. Day 4, I only did 1 squirt each arm and still felt the same. Day 5, I did not take any. Will try again tomorrow. My levels were 167, and I am 38 years old. I was tired all the time, gained weight, bad mood, not very happy doing things I used to enjoy. I really want this to work because I want to feel normal again. Still trying to get used to the application, works better if you use a hair dryer, dries a lot faster."
