Testosterone 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!"

Testosterone for Hypogonadism, Male "I am 69 years old. Prior to starting 5 pumps daily of AndroGel 5 months ago, T level was 207, low energy, and almost no sex drive, plus often could not maintain an erection. After only a couple of weeks, there was a big turnaround, good erections, and libido what it was at age 40. Did notice I was a bit more aggressive. Then, about the 3rd month, things went downhill with things back pretty much as they were before AndroGel. Presently awaiting results of test to see where T levels stand."

Testosterone for Hypogonadism, Male "An intro: I was dealt a traumatic brain injury that landed me in a coma for 19 days some years back. I've faced issues such as anger, paranoia, suspicion, so bad. I wouldn't trust my own doctor! That went on for well over a decade before I heard about Low T. Then I researched, arranged an appointment, had lab work done to find out, lo and behold; I was dealing with a case of Low T, on a big scale. Within the first two weeks of therapy, differences were like night and day! I honestly have not felt this good, or more with life in general since being on AndroGel. I'm finishing up month number five with regular lab tests and point blank: I feel great! More energy with a tremendous relief of many symptoms."

Testosterone for Hypogonadism, Male "I am 33, was tested, and had low T. My results were 39, which is extremely low. I started on AndroGel 1.62, two pumps made me very aggressive, and I would snap and get angry, so I went to 1 pump in the morning. My sex drive went through the roof :). After 6 weeks, I was tested, the results were 432. That was exciting. I also gained 15 pounds. I used to weigh 140, now I'm staying between 150-156. I am stronger, more energetic, can think better, but I do have my days that suck. It's all part of the test. Now, not everyone is going to have results like mine, so keep trying to find what works. Also, if you're eating poorly, that may be the reason, also, try to eat healthy and work out."

Testosterone for Hypogonadism, Male "46-year-old male - count 238. I pump under each arm. I've only been on this for 4 days now, so I can't say how effective it is yet - I am having side effect after side effect, however, with each day being different. To sum it all up though: Nausea - day 1 and 2, rapid heartbeat - day 1 only, induced asthma attacks (haven't had one in years) - days 1 and 2, odd/sour taste in mouth - days 3 and 4, RAGE - day 4 (I wanted to drive over everyone on the highway!), and the worst: day 4 - upper abdominal bloating. So bad it feels like someone added 50 pounds to my upper abs. Now it wasn't all bad - day 3 I felt GREAT with the exception of the odd taste in my mouth. I told my doctor yesterday of the symptoms up to that point, and he said they should pass."

For Hypogonadism, Male "Started therapy on Cypionate injections with extremely low metrics and mood symptoms. After four years, I was 'up' in more than just mood - libido was back and erectile dysfunction was almost forgotten, muscle mass was improved, body fat was reduced. Then, somebody started a flap about testosterone therapy and heart disease, my cardiologist did not approve, and the men's clinic wouldn't treat me without his approval. Now, six months off therapy, I am back where I started, and worse; frustrated, angry, semi-incontinent - not a happy boy."

For Hypogonadism, Male ".. did boost my T to 800, but not a genuine feeling from it. It sort of elevated aggression in impacted areas, aggressive sex, aggressive mood, aggression in the morning, aggressive dreams, aggressive energy. It is not relaxing me, it is elevating my anxiety level. I am taking shots, and the first 3 days after each shot are terrible: moody aggression. I say it is not for me."

Testosterone for Hypogonadism, Male "I am a transgender man and have switched from testosterone injection to this product and Androderm, and it is a miracle. I've heard bad things about them, but I don't have any bad effects except that my mood swings are really bad, and I have been aggressive. Doesn't itch, just leaves a red mark, and my skin peels after I remove it."

Testosterone "I'm a transgender male, and I've been using AndroGel after taking testosterone injections and patches, and I've been very happy with the gel. It's very convenient, dries quickly, and my levels are always the same. Except for a little anger once in a while, it works like a charm if you get the good dosage. My beard appears more quickly than with the shots. I recommend AndroGel to any FTM who's scared of trying. The cost is incredibly high without insurance, but it is worth it if you have a fear of needles or anxiety!"

Testosterone "Feel better after two weeks, but the smell is objectionable. Takes multiple washings to remove from clothes. My wife has allergies to scents, and the odor gives her a headache. She also feels aggressive just from the aroma. I have been extremely careful about avoiding contamination. One of our cats even goes nuts smelling my T-shirt."

Testosterone for Hypogonadism, Male "Worked well on reestablishing 'normal' testosterone levels, but strong impact on moods, aggressiveness, and irritability."
