Guest guest Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 Hey Tom. I get them from Medaus Pharmacy www.medaus.com If you don't have a doc they can recommend one for you, that's where I found mine. He is an OB/GYN who had his own T experience and like most of us, couldn't get treated for it. That being the case, he educated himself and now treats men with the same problem.

Hey Guys, > > Seems to me some of you have experience with Arimidex. So to those of you who do Arimidex . . . how do you start out on it? Do you start with 1/2 pill? 1/4 pill? Whole pill? It seems I recall that you do some really minute amount like 1/4 of a 1 mg pill every 6 days or so. Is that correct? > > Tom > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 Yes sort of it was really hard to maintain an erection on one tube, but it was at least getting hard and I was feeling hornier. I'd say that it was immediate but remember that I had been on androgel prior to the testim. I was sick for about a month and a half on the androgel so don't know if I felt anything. once I switched and wasn't having an allergic reaction I felt great. I upped the dose to one and a half tubes a day and thats when I felt like a teenager again. I went to two tubes because I thought if I felt good on one tube and even better on one and a half then two would make me feel great! It worked! I was told by the doc to lower my dosage because of the value was something like 1001 and the upper limit was 1000, I refused. I didn't feel bad but I didn't feel great at the lower dosage. Hope this helps if you are on one tube maybe talk to your doc about upping the dose for awhile and see how you feel I think that they don't know what the reference ranges should be so they go with what they have. There definately needs to be more study on this problem! Also remember that Testim is synthetic even if it is bio-identical it is not made by your own body so perhaps that has something to do with the stronger dosage and higher values. Hope this helps!

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 Again I was on one tube for about two weeks before I got my next set of bloods done, in that time I was mildly horny I guess I had had sex about once a week, in those first two months of trt. I can't tell you exactly when the Testim kicked in I don't know but I can tell you it was better after I upped the dose to one and a half a day, and still better at two a day. I woke up with wood in the morning for the first time in fifteen years. I wanted to have sex again, thinking back on it now before I got on T having sex had become a chore, if I could get it up at all I would have to do it quick before I lost the erection if you can call half hard an erection. It was so much easier to just avoid the whole issue which made my partner rather annoyed. So if you are newly on Testim then give it a month it takes a little while for your body to realize hey we have what we need. If nothing in a month not even morning wood I would ask your doc about upping the dose or going to an injectable. As I said before I lost my insurance. So I switched to injectables I have never had a problem with needles and already knew how to self inject from vitamin B-12 shots as a kid. ____________________________________________________ Start your day with - make it your home page http://www./r/hs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Hey Savario, I saw your post and need to know if your doctor was hesitant changing you from Androgel to Testim. What kind of results were you getting with Androgel ? I am in the same situation, I use 10g of Androgel every day and my T-level never goes above 526. I still have problem's with my libidio, orgasm. and ejaculation. I see him on the 23rd of this month and will get a full blood test with all required items and will tell him I want to change. He has already commented that I seem to have an absorption problem but came up with no alternatives. Thanks, guy --- Savario <savario2000@...> wrote: > > Yes sort of it was really hard to maintain an > erection on one tube, but it was at least getting > hard and I was feeling hornier.

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 No he did not have a problem switching me because I was having an allergic reaction to something in the Androgel. I had flu like symptoms for about a month before I was switched. I like testim it has a nice pleasent smell and have gotten a lot of what is that cologne your wearing it smells great comments of course I tell them thats just me I always smell that way ;-) __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Yeah and it was fine. My hypogonadism is kinda wired though cause only one of my boys has shrunk that might be due to an injury I suffered as a kid or not who knows and the docs aint talking. but also all of my labs except for the T's came back normal so I have no idea whats up I think it might be a fungal infection but the doc didn't want to even think about it. Why?? Don't know. so here I am have an illness and nobody wants to talk about it. hope this helps. __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
