For Hypogonadism, Male "This was a breath of fresh air - it took a few days to get used to the application process. However, in the end, I am not lathering my body up, I'm not sticky, and my hands are not contaminated with testosterone. An all-around win! No smell, not sticky, and no hand contamination! A"

For Hypogonadism, Male "I am Brazilian. So, sorry about my English. I am 57 years old and I started to have a very hard anxiety and depression around 10 years ago. After a lot of different antidepressants and anxiolytic medicines that worsened or destroyed my sexual life for almost 10 years, I found out that I had hypogonadism. My doctor prescribed Axiron 6 months ago, and my depression and anxiety simply disappeared. I now have a normal life, with much more energy, and my sexual life is back. Axiron saved my life."

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 "I was recently diagnosed with Hypogonadism, so Axiron is the first replacement medicine I have used. I find it easy to use, and I don't think it has a bad odor. I can barely smell it. I just find that you need to give yourself about one minute per application. You have to move the applicator very slowly so it has time to spread and be absorbed. If you try and rush it, the watery consistency of the product will run down your body. Give yourself about three minutes for it to dry, and then get dressed."

For Hypogonadism, Male "I am 65 years old, and on April 2011, I had TURP surgery to correct a very enlarged prostate. Before surgery, my T level was approximately 450. After the surgery, it quickly dropped to around 150. My urologist prescribed Testim Gel, and it did not work by increasing the T level. Then switched to Androgel, it also did not work, the T level barely increased to 159. Then switched to Androderm patches, also did not work, in fact, my T level dropped to 121. All these 3 medicines gave me side effects. Then my doctor prescribed Axiron, and it worked incredibly well, in one month my T level went from 121 to 880, and I feel great with NO side effects. I am super satisfied with the results of AXIRON."

For Hypogonadism, Male "45-year-old male. Healthy but fat. Falling libido, no energy, no joy of life, cranky, lack of focus, and gaining weight. Fatigue so high it was hard to get out of bed. T levels 170. I have been on Axiron for 60 days. Wow, what a difference. First few days I had some nausea and cramping, mood improvement was next followed by increased energy and a screaming boost in libido. Wife now dreads the new me, she thought she was done running away and keeping me off her. Back in the gym after 30 days. Still going 3 days a week doing 45 min of cardio and 15 min weight lifting. Not a lot but for me, it's a huge improvement. Insurance wants to talk to my doctor about my need. This product is awesome, and I will fight to keep it."

For Hypogonadism, Male "Having used Axiron for 20 months, I thought I'd let you know of my continued good feeling, no adverse effects, most things seem beneficial. I seem to have gotten a bit thicker in size, no increase in length, however. My testicles, which shrunk in size at the beginning of treatment, seem to have returned to their original size, thankfully! I now have a hairy belly above my normal pubic area up to my navel. This area, prior to treatment, was as smooth as my palms, and now I'm developing a happy trail. Perhaps I went through puberty with low T levels. My numbers have gone from 293 to 554 to 570, and the last was 663. Two squirts daily, one applied approximately at 7 a.m. after showering and again at 7 p.m."

For Hypogonadism, Male "My husband's testosterone levels have been crashing. He is on opioids for a spinal fusion that did not take. His total testosterone level 3 days ago was 35 when it should be between 550-700! No, that is not a typing error. You can imagine how he was feeling. He has just started the Axiron, so it is too early to tell. I wanted to let everyone know that on Axiron's website, there is a phone number your doctor can call, and the company will send a copay card that will make your cost, even with insurance, $25.00 per month. The card will pay up to $75 per monthly prescription. The card is good for 11 months. Hope this helps! It is definitely some pricey stuff!"

For Hypogonadism, Male "This is the most effective delivery system yet. In the past I have used Testim - too smelly and left my upper arms full of acne and Striant - somewhat effective but not as efficient in delivering the medicine into the bloodstream. I feel the difference with only 30 mg a day. I think Lilly has a winner here."

For Hypogonadism, Male "I am 70, and after a blood test, I was told by my doctor that my testosterone level was very low compared to my last test 5 years earlier. I was not getting erections very much at all, could not get off when I did, was pretty stressed, irritable, and just not feeling very up. I've been on Axiron for 5 weeks, and things have changed remarkably. I get horny a lot, get erections at least once a day (4 times one day), can have orgasms more often, feel more relaxed, less stressed out, and noticeably less irritable. I go back to the doctor in two weeks for the latest blood test results. The blood was drawn two weeks ago. I only have one complaint about the medicine... the cost. I'm not sure I can afford it continuously, and I don't have Medicare B."

For Hypogonadism, Male "I started 60 mg of Axiron on 30 Oct. It is now 12 Nov. I feel like a gladiator, a warrior. I'm 48 this month, Blk man. I weigh in at 264 lbs, 5-10. Yes, that's big, but I have lots of muscle mass on me as well as fat. I checked my blood level before I started, it was at 175. I never would have thought my T level was low because I've always been a beast in the sack, but I did have the other symptoms. I go to the gym 3 to 4 times a week now and lift moderately. My body swells up like I was 20 again. My mind is a lot sharper than without Axiron, and the sex life? Let's just say I have to chase the wife down and still have mega energy. Only about 14 days in, and I can see outlines of what's about to happen in my body. WOW! I am satisfied totally."

For Hypogonadism, Male "Axiron seems to be working well for me. I am 35, and this is my first hormone replacement used, so I do not know about how the others might work for me. I am awaiting my first blood test results after 7 weeks of usage, but I feel honestly like a normal man again. I don't know how else to put it. My initial levels were at 140 prior to starting therapy, with zero sex drive that was impacting my marriage, fatigue, and loss of interest in normal 'fun' things. Within 3-5 days of starting Axiron, my libido returned to teenage levels, I have ample energy and interest in my normal hobbies again. The application is a little to get used to, but once I got it, I have no issues. Otherwise, it would have gotten a '10' from me. Thank you!"

For Hypogonadism, Male "I was on Androgel when I read about Axiron. While Androgel was OK, it didn't seem to do much for my libido. It did help with weight loss, but other effects were mild. I asked my doctor to switch my prescription, which he did. Wow, this stuff really upped my libido significantly. I am 69 and feeling more like 45. Other than the mild burning after applying it (like some deodorants), I have not experienced any negative side effects. Application, once you realize you don't push the pump like you do with Androgel (sends it flying), but press slowly and apply slowly, it is actually faster and easier to do with less mess. I would highly recommend trying this if you are having problems with diminished libido."

For Hypogonadism, Male "I had ZERO libido, weakness, lack of enthusiasm, kind of 'just existing joylessly.' Tested very low to below normal testosterone for a guy in his early 40s. After a few weeks on this, most of my symptoms are gone. Sadly, the libido has only improved a little bit. But my mood is improved, and it seems like my brain works better. The most surprising effect has been a rapid increase in muscle mass and improved muscle tone. Just 30 minutes of push-ups and work with free weights a couple of days a week has had amazing results. Exercise has never paid off like this. (Maybe I've been on the low end of testosterone all my life.) My only worry now is what will happen if my body compensates for the Axiron and reduces its natural T production."

For Hypogonadism, Male "Gentlemen, I am following up with my prior review of AXIRON. Now that I have been on it for two months, there are a couple of, well, downsides to this, and depending upon how you view such things, you may find them a negative. My 'boys' have indeed gotten smaller (not to a huge degree), and the amount of 'ejaculate' I put out is much, MUCH less. At 53, I don't give a care about those things, but some do. I have lost a full inch of fat off my waist, sex is great again. I actually feel like doing things again, working out more, etc., etc. Whatever trade-offs there are, they are worth it."

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 "Switched from Androgel to Axiron 3 weeks ago as total T levels slipped back into the low range. Effects were immediate and noticeable. Great workouts, better mood, more energy, increased libido, and truly major physical changes! I'm 50 years old and, for the first time in my life, I have a lean, flat stomach without changing my workout at all. My weights at the gym have increased by about 20%. I do 45 mins of lifting, 30 mins of cardio 4-5 times a week. In three weeks, my body has changed completely, and people are noticing! Go back to Dr. in 3 weeks to check levels... so far, it's been amazing for me."

For Hypogonadism, Male "I have been on the gel for 5 months, and all I can say is wow! My doctor put me on a strict diet and told me to try this. I was hesitant at first, but after about a week of use, I started to see some serious changes: sex drive, energy, alertness, and overall performance. I had gained quite a bit of weight, to be exact, I was 418 lbs! With diet, exercise, and increasing my test levels, I have lost 68 lbs and am still dropping. My side effects were a little different from others. My ejaculation increased, and my size increased as well. Also, I shave my armpits now to ensure that all the medication is being absorbed, and I apply the medication at night after I shower. I also wait about 25 mins before getting dressed."

For Hypogonadism, Male "I have tried it all! Very frustrated with the lack of results, my doctor put me on Axiron about a month ago. This is the one product that has truly changed my life. I feel much better. I feel much more energetic, and my anxiety and mood issues are gone. I really hope this is not too good to be true!"

For Hypogonadism, Male "WOW! I was wary at first when my doctor offered this new topical testosterone at my annual check-up. The doctor gave me a free month to start and then a co-pay card that covered me at $25.00 per month for the first year. I even read on the card that it covers cash-paying patients without insurance coverage. Pay attention to the instructions because this is way different from the gels. No mess if you follow the instructions. No more Androgel mess. Piece of cake. Thanks, Doctor."

For Hypogonadism, Male "I'm a 35-year-old male with hypogonadism (primary testicular failure not producing any sperm and smaller testicles). My T level was 200 nmol/L, which is below the lower limit of the normal range. This is day 2 of being on Axiron (60 mg/day dose), and I already feel different: my mental cloudiness is gone, I have more energy, and I don't need to drink that much coffee to stay awake. Got a strong 'morning wood' like I haven't had in years. Erections and orgasms are also quite improved already! I feel that my body is finally performing at the level it should be. Yeah! The only downside is I observed myself snapping momentarily with anger for small things.. I'll keep posting about my experience. I can't believe how different I feel in just 2 days!"

For Hypogonadism, Male "I've done Androgel and a clinical trial for Fortigel, both of which were applied to the upper thigh. The feeling of these treatments was different to me than that of Axiron. Axiron seems to fill me with more energy, and I can literally feel it work as my body surges with more energy. Libido is improved, but not as noticeably as the Fortigel, but still good. I like the Axiron better than the others, it gives me a nice, well-rounded energetic feeling."

For Hypogonadism, Male "I felt the effects of Axiron in the first three days. Changes are pretty quick and satisfying! The application isn't too messy if you go slow, and it dries very quickly, especially if you put it on before getting dressed all the way. It smells a little like hand sanitizer, and it has a texture like it too. Overall, it's fantastic! I am, unfortunately, part of that group of 3% of guys who experienced vomiting. It was encouraged by a night of mild drinking. After symptoms abated, I continued with Axiron and have had no problems since. I love it!"

For Hypogonadism, Male "In one month, Axiron brought my T levels from around 200 to 456 (at last check). Applying is a piece of cake, and I honestly feel great. Sex life and overall mood have noticeably increased. I look forward to applying Axiron in the morning, and it has truly changed my life."

For Hypogonadism, Male "Went to my doctor to discuss issues with erectile dysfunction. All I got was a prescription for Viagra. Didn't like the side effects. Doctor ordered tests to rule out problems with plugged arteries. After that was ruled out, I pushed for a testosterone test, free and total. Results were below the normal range. He prescribed 60 mg of Axiron per day. After 8 weeks, my total T went from 300 to 1300, with free rising from 7 to 33. Feel great with lots of energy, positive attitude, and erectile problems are gone."
