For Hypogonadism, Male "I am a 46-year-old male. Memory and tiredness, slight depression. Diagnosed with low testosterone (222 on a scale of 200-800). Have used both Testim and Androgel. Like the way Androgel comes in a pump bottle and is not as sticky as Testim, but my wife and other women have commented that they like the smell of Testim. I now use Testim, applying one tube every other day because my wife says I'm more like myself at that dosage. Had an initial drop of testosterone to 201 when I first started treatment, but testosterone is now at 547 at the last lab. I feel much better."

For Hypogonadism, Male "See my previous comment on Testim in October 2009. Last December, I accidentally selected the wrong level of employer health insurance coverage. Result: no prescription coverage on our plan this year. With Testim at $330 per month, there was no way we could afford it, so I have been off Testim for 6 months. Boy, do I feel it. I'm tired and want to sleep all the time, melancholy and unmotivated to do anything. Auxilium was kind enough to give me a discount card for $75 off per month for 6 months. Going back to the pharmacy today and will pay the $255 difference for the next 6 months until health plan changes again. Last week's lab showed testosterone at 226, should be around 400 for my age (47). I never realized how important 'T' is."

For Hypogonadism, Male "Was diagnosed through a blood test at 231. After a month and a half, I was at 900, still feel weak and tired. I have a better mood and don't get upset easily anymore. My insurance leaves me paying $200 a month, so I'm switching to the needle. I like the smell personally, and people seem to like the smell of it too."
