For Hypogonadism, Male "I'm 56, had little energy, slept a lot, and gained a good deal of weight. I have felt really good since I started Axiron. The change was immediate and dramatic. I look forward to taking it. My levels were very low, and after two weeks of using Axiron, the test showed the level was higher and the doctor was pleased. I feel a libido again, and I have a lot more energy. My appetite is way down too, not sure that's an effect. When I use the applicator, I hold it in one place against the skin for a few seconds before I move it around, then I slowly move it while pushing it in and out a little. Don't let it come off the skin, and it now runs down my body rarely. Hopefully it keeps working. I like it a lot."

For Hypogonadism, Male "I am a 56-year-old male and have been on shots and Axiron for 11 months, and my testosterone levels are still around 150. Before I started any testosterone, I was at about 230, then, after starting shots every 4 weeks, my T-levels dropped and kept dropping to about 95 and recently went up to 150. The 200 mg shots are every three weeks now, and Axiron daily 60 mg, but still no major results except gaining weight and some muscle mass. All hormones were normal except FSH, which was elevated. Don't know what the problem is because most people do well with shots and Axiron."

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."
