Re: Testim versus Androgel

January 16, 2010

I had the same problem. I started out with androgel and then moved to testim.

Testim is horrible compared to Androgel. First it smells way to strong. You

will have old ladys asking you what your wearing. Secondly it takes about 4x

longer to apply. Needless to say I switched to injections an am much happier.

in April but then found it did not do much for me so I bumped it to 10g. While I

do feel better my labs have not been earth shattering and I am contemplating

switching to Testim of an equal dosage. I just had labs done last week and will

receive my results this Monday when I see my endo.

I did this my levels went from on Androgel of 500 to 550 on Testim not much

worth it. Some of us Gels don't cut it we need to do shots starting at 100 mgs

/ wk. with some HCG added in.
