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 "OK guys, time out! I never thought I'd come to the defense of a consumer product, much less one that costs such an obscene amount of money, but: 1. There are a lot of guys on here complaining they had low testosterone (Low T) and giving their numbers before treatment. A large portion of them say Axiron took their numbers up into the 500 range. THIS IS WHAT THE DRUG IS SUPPOSED TO DO! If you're roughly between 348-1000, you're back to normal. Axiron worked. The fact that you still feel tired, or fatigued, or depressed is most likely due to other issues. I think there are too many guys on here expecting to take this drug and it to turn them into the Hulk, make them happy all the time, and provide for them sex whenever they want it."

For Hypogonadism, Male "I am a 50-year-old male and pre-Axiron, testosterone tested out at 323 in the morning. I was feeling tired, sluggish, no sex drive, and falling asleep in the early evening. I started using 60 mg a day of Axiron. I noticed a huge increase in energy and increased libido during the first two days. Day three, I could feel the effects of Axiron tapering off, and I returned to feeling tired and sluggish. After one month of using Axiron, a morning test of my testosterone tested out at 257. Axiron dosage was just increased to 90 mg a day. I am not sure why Axiron would work initially and then stop working. I will give the 90 mg a day of Axiron a try for another month and have my testosterone re-tested."

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."
