User Reviews for AndroGel transdermal

can cause mood swings, red acne inflammation of the nose, muscle mass

My boyfriend has been on 5g for 2 months. He has more energy, lost a little weight and is in a better state of well-being... but his libido/sex drive remains zero. Probably less now, then before the Androgel. Without any sexual desire, seems kinda moot to address the ED.

Unknown if it caused: Polycythmeia Vera

I might be the first wife to comment on this product. He is happy, lost weight, gained muscle etc. But sex drive is 0. When he has alittle desire, it doesn't stay for more than 3-5 minutes.

I have been using the Gel packs for approx 4 months. My energy level and libido have increased dramatically. I haven't felt this good in years (54 yr old). So far no side effects. My wife is much happier now too.

Even with insurance coverage, it is a medication our family has to deeply sacrifice for-both financially and emotionally, I usually have to forego my insulin therapy in order for me to purchase this medication for my husband The med makes him very irritable, overally aggressive and does not enhance sexual performance. It also seems to raise hisb lood pressure excessively and thus, he has to endure the very red, swollen face, the puffy hands and the increased water weight. He also has a problem with being very crabby, and matryristic. Do you make a similar product that is not so expensive, or full of annoying side-effects? Hisincome is in the 24-26,000 range, and on SSec Dis Income and we cannot afford both meds. (mine is 184.00 per week just for the insulin) and even after insurance benefits, it still comes out to more than I can afford...androgel 1.0 comes in at 245.00 per month.Read More Read Less

used androgel 5g packets one on each shoulder it caused complete memory loss for the next day and ahalf ,didn't use it again.doctor and pharmacy had not heard of this problem.

I am a 58 year old male. Have been on Androgel pump for 1 1/2 years. Does a good job with erection. Have to keep alternating portion of body to put gel as skin gets irritated after several consecutive days on stomach. Doesn't seem to bother my upper arms or pecs.I read where one patient was putting on thighs. I didn't know this was an acceptable place to apply gel.I am keeping to upper arms, pecs, and stomach. This is much better than the biweekly shots and seems to level out my testosterone driven desires and sexual performance.Read More Read Less

Has made a great improvement in my libido and strength training, but especially in my male mentality and "Drive" or desire to accomplish things and have a positive outlook. I've been on 10ng for 5 weeks and just turned 60 - feel 20 years younger right now and hope it will continue!

miserable,no desire,tired, moody,depressed. Been on for 6 months saw a big differance in moodiness and depression, desire returned somewhat. starter with t test of 130, dropped in 4 weeks to 68, upped dosage to 8 pumps . better went to 200 but dropped to 138 , while putting on shoulders and upper arms get severe pain in shoulders and bicepts ,rubbing on abdomin and thighs now but absorbion isn't that great. any ideas how to get rid of shoulder pain seems to absorb better there but pain is a "keep me awake all nite" Read More Read Less

After 3 weeks it is slowing improving my erection maintenance and helping to increase my libido. I have great hopes with longer continued use.

First two weeks excellent- third week little response. Decrease in ejaculation and difficulty retaining erection. Off for week tired listless but ejaculation returns to three- four drops. The higher the dose the less discharge. Can't get a happy level of dose. Seems like testes stop producing at 8 pumps.

being on some form of hormone replacement for the past 22 years. i'm very satisfied. no more mood swings like the shots. only downfall is there expensive if you don't have insurance

I lost my heath care and could not afford the perscription refill and the depression was aweful.I attempted suicide

Being a 32 year old my DR almost fell out of his chair when he got my lab tests back. A non working Thyroid and a T level of 180! Going on my first month of Androgel and Synthroid have to say I have not felt this good in 10+ years. From my mood to workouts all the way to my sex life Androgel has truly changed my life.

Went to doc complaining of low libido, low energy. Prescribed Cialis. Didn't work that well. Had doc do a T level test. Came up as 390 T level (normal is 300-900). Been on the gel for 3 months. Definately helps. Better erections, more desire, more energy and no more roller coaster mood swings. Due to go in for another T level test. Still not near where I was sexually before the sudden T level decrease 2 years ago but getting better. Gel and Cialis combo works OK but need to be well rested and no alcohol. Read More Read Less

After only ten days of using,everything is functioning better:sex,energy,attitude.May be able to eliminate E D pill soon I hope, as it requires too much planning or timing for a 72 year old young Guy. Still slow to climax if at all.But,I am told that will Improve too. At my age any improvement is positive. Therefore,I will keep on rubbing my shoulder with it every day at 8AM.

after 3 weeks my drive went way high,more energy.no side effects yet.
