36 yr old male. T level below 300. I am only 36 but felt 66. I had no energy, depressed, no sex drive and horrible sweating episodes. Once we found out what was going on I was put on Androgel. I noticed it the 1st day. I was, and am still amazed with it. I feel like a new person. I have so much energy, great mood all of the time and my sex drive is back! This is an awesome product.

This is a very dangerous drug.Currently being advertised on TV and other places as the answer to every mans problem. No side effects are mentioned and it has many! Was given to me WITHOUT blood tests. Appears men are the next hormonal science experiment as women were years ago. How many cancers and other health related issues must happen before the severity of the drug revealed. No side effects wh...

I have been taking this for over a year or more now and don't see a big a big change. My last physcial was back on june and my number was low ansDr prescribed this to increase levels. Some increase in energy used as Dr perscribed 2 pumps per day. Increased to 4 today will see if this is work or not. Doesn't seem to work on depression or my sex drive has not returned useing this at all. Used coupon from website #10 my insurance I would pay 20.00 co pay. Overall I don't see much difference in daily activities.Read More Read Less

I am having irritability which is extreme. I have decided to stop taking this med. Just not worth feeling angry so much.

Went to the pharmacy to get my Rx with androgens discount card. Not valid. Had to call their 800# to get activation on card. They would not give authorize it without doing a "survey" first. They insisted to give me the authorization they "legally" had to do the survey. I refuse to do business with people that cannot tell the truth. They are not the only manufacturer of Testosterone.

I am a 53 year old male. I had T levels of 170 until I went on Androgel 1% two packs a day after which my level went to 800 and I felt great. However, my doctor about a month ago put me on Androgel 1.62% two packs a day. I should have requested to remain on the 1% since it was working fine but now after being on the 1.62% my libido has diminished substantially. I am certain it is related to the change. I don't know the difference and it may be the surface area being so much smaller but I am going back on the 1%.Read More Read Less

Incredibly expensive. Increased libido temporarily but dropped, possibly because the natural testosterone production is replaced by this synthetic. Excess semen but sperm production completely shutdown.

I have experienced lack of energy and fatigue since last summer. I am a married and have suppressed my libido because my wife has refused sex for 20 years, so that was not an issue. After 3 weeks, I have decided to discontinue treatment because of negative personality changes. I'am grumpier, feel angry and frustrated constantly and have aggressive thoughts which are completely against my nature. I've chased the fatigue and energy thing for a long and thought this was my answer. I just doesn't seem to work for me. Read More Read Less

I am a 3 time survivor of Testicular Cancer. I had surgery to remove both of my "boys" and now am on testosterone replacement therapy. I tried the Androderm Patch but it did not seem to work with me. My doctor changed me to the Androgel 1.62% pump with 4 pumpps a day for me. I noticed a difference pretty quickly. On Androderm my number was I believe 50. I am now up around 350-400. Ao it is working. Now comes the fun part. My insurance is no longer wanting to pay for Androgel and are forcing me to try something else that is cheaper. I am nervous that now I am going to be on a roller coaster of emotions as I try to get settled in with another product. Wish me luck...Read More Read Less

I had low T 352. Very low energy level and other issues. I can definitely tell a difference when I apply the gel and when I don't. Have increased energy level, lost a bit of weight ang in general feel good. I do notice some sensitivity and rash in the application area (upper arm and shoulder areas.) I am afraid to stop using because of the energy difference I have felt.

6 months ago I was prescribed Androgel 2% daily because of a testosterone score of 362, which is very low for my age (early 40's). 6 months later with regular use as recommended I'm down to a score of 250! So obviously hasn't worked for me and as a bad side effect my testicles are about half the size they used to be! Hope they get back to normal after I stop using this crappy product!

My psychiatrist found (in the course of normal blood work) that I had very low testosterone levels. As a lifetime jock - college football, marathon runner, etc -- I had clearly been naturally fueled by testosterone. My general practitioner prescribed androgel 1.62% at 2 then 4 pumps per day. I noticed a significant change in mood after a week, and began to get rid of a horrible omnipresent fatigue after three weeks. Only four weeks into therapy, but it seems to be a wonder drug. Given my propensity for substance abuse I was concerned about being tempted to overuse, but that has not been the case. My physician wife complains that it is an expensive "life-style" drug - but after working full time since I was 14 it almost seems fair to have some enjoyment of life at 58.Read More Read Less
