Guest guest Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Do not waste your time with all that ordeal. Get a prescription and fax it to appliedpharmacyrx.com for a 10% testosterone gel that would cost you around $30 a month. Testim and Androgel have 1 % testosterone and cost over $600 a month, and most have to pay a copay of $30-$80 on it. Support your compounding pharmacies..they are being threatened by the government which is heavily funded by pharma. Regards, Vergelpowerusa dot org In a message dated 1/11/2008 8:39:09 P.M.

I have changed doctors a few times in the past several years, and no one can find the original testosterone level test result in my charts from years back. I have a regularly scheduled doctor's appointment in a few weeks, and am scheduled to do blood work around January 22. I'm sure my doctor will be willing to add a testosterone level to my regulary quaterly blood panel. My question is, how long do I need to stop Androgel before my testosterone will reach below normal levels? How long to reach the nadir? I actually have a couple extra months of Androgel, but I figure now is a good time to stop, with my regular doctor's appointment coming up. Thanks for any guidance you can offer. Start the year off right. Easy ways to stay in shape in the new year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
