Comment:
Husband considers androgel a wonder drug as it has increased his energy, accelerated healing of a bum shoulder and improved his athletic results. Wife hates it as it has brought out the 'inner jerk' in husband: he is more combative, more aggressive towards wife, quick to anger, less likely to compromise.

My husband has been using this for low testosterone levels and low sex drive. He has been on it for 6 months and sleeping with every woman he has met in the last 5 months. WE ARE GETTING DIVORCED!

Comment:
I used Androgel for many years until my insurance company upped the deductible to $250 for 3 months, and their generic Testim is $14/mo. Testim is so sticky and doesn't dry quickly like Androgel. I'm on the maximum dosage of each, and my T count dropped from 900 to 700 after switching over. I highly recommend Androgel - it works great!

Doctors should really tell their patients about all the side effects. My husband starting taking this and is verbally abusive and walked out on his family. He did gain muscle mass and libido but became depressed, paraniod, and directed all of anger towards me and the kids. He so happy with the way that he looks that he will never give the drug up unless it causes serious health issues.

Six weeks later, i am amazed at the results: I have stay hard, spontaneous wood, sex drive is momentous and i'm feeling like a MAN for the first time in so many years.
