User Comments about Testim
16 Jan 2012 I have been with my Fiance for 4 years... never one argument. since taking testim i find myself nit picking and being overly critical and impatient. not sure if my relationship with survive this... my T was 190... now its 400.00 using the gell that you apply every morning in that pain in the butt tube. stronger in the gym, stronger in bed but ZERO patience.

19 Nov 2011 To the guy losing his hair, get your doctor to prescribe Avodart. It will make you pee better by shrinking the prostate and it help you to keep your hair. It blocks DHT which kills hair follicles. Google Avodart for more info. I'm 62 and I've been on it for one year. My barber girl told me today, "Your hair is so thick." I swear the thinning has reversed. I'm also using Testim, one tube per day.

23 Oct 2011 Been using this for 18 months. Would recommend this to any man who is depressed and feeling old before his time. I'm 59 but I feel and perform like I'm 39. My T level was 210 before taking Testim. It's now over 650. Don't listen to the feedback on the smell. It smells like alcohol-based hand cleaner and the smell goes away after it dries. My wife has no problems at all with the smell or the efficacy of the product. I sleep in the nude and my 55 year old wife has not suffered any observable effects from exposure to the product. Our children are grown and away so chronic exposure to small children is not an issue for us. I admit and my wife confirms that I am a little less patient and more aggressive, especially after having a few drinks of alcohol, so I drink less now. I work out 2-3 time/week with weights and I am amazed at the changes in body muscle and fat levels. I feel better emotionally, mentally and physically. And, BTW, women notice me now and often find reasons to feel my biceps. And I'm not kidding! My blood work is better than ever and the PSA and digital prostate exam say I'm in good shape.

14 Oct 2011 Felt good but a little weird. Started to suspect hair was falling out; barber said he could tell it was. Stopped for now.

20 Sep 2011 My insurance company quit covering Androgel, so I switched over to Testim. At 58, I think I'm getting the same results. I'm not tired and I have significant energy for basketball, bicycling and great sex. Zero side effects. The only complaint I have for Testim is the delivery system. The shape of the tube is so wasteful...about 20% of product. You'd think in 2011 someone would come up with a better design. Taking needlenose pliers to squeese out the gel is rediculous. A controlled sustance should have better parameters.

12 Jan 2012 Amend to that. That's the only complaint I have with it. You go into my bathroom and you'll see a pair of needle nose pliers.
