I dont like that it takes awhile for this stuff to dry and try pulling your t-shirt off feels lke someone has glued this stuff on. When I take my shirts off I place them in a plastic and my wife knows not to touch it. The smell is great?! Wife loves the smell and other comments by others as well. Juts make sure you wash your handls very carefully and wipe sink handles so your other half doesn't touch the stuff.

Experienced bad headache after first use, plus the smell was terrible! Decided to cut amount of gel to 1/3 the dose and applied it to the bottom of my feet while wearing disposable gloves. Gradually increased the amount every couple days and within two weeks was applying the prescribed amount with no headache or only having the smell bother me when applying. At about 3 weeks the effects of the treatment were starting to be felt. Increased energy, didn't basic mood felt better, my sex drive was pretty good before, but noticed the desire did increase and recovery was quicker. Did feel a bit more anxious and irritable for a little over a month or so. My test results for levels went from 2.5 to 5.4. Overhaul not bad results overall, but again they should just make it with no smell, IT'S REALLY BAD

Increased ability to get into shape. Increased libido for short period until the natural testosterone production gets turned off by the drug replacement testosterone. If you look at the drug company charts, you can expect a testosterone decline after the initial boost. Hate fighting with the tube during sticky application. Hate the smell and smelly shirts. Concerned about risks to wife as tshirt can rise when on couch. Showers will never get everything out of skin prior to contact. Just hoping transfer only increases her testosterone by small amounts. Would not take this drug if children in the house. Concerned about tiny numbers of people used for Testim trials (and similar drugs) and big long list of side effects. My main effect so far is jump of blood pressure requiring medication to control.

When I first read these reviews I was nervous but just like everything else it effects everyone different. I am 41 yrs old and have been on this medicine for about 2 months. I was put on this because of a low testosterone count. My levels had adjusted very slightly so far but if you read different articles it is different for everyone. By the way it does leave a musky scent so be aware of this fortunately for me my wife likes it that does not hurt if you know what I mean. I will follow up on this article in a month after the 90 day cycle that the test are based on is complete.
