Not Responding To Testim. Alternate Medication?
I have been using testim since 9/2012 , 1st the doctor started me out with i tube and then went back for checkup and had no change, even gained weight and no improved energy , so she said she was suprised so decided double it to 2 tubes daily and after a month and 1/2 , still no improvement , very frustrated , I thought this was a more holistic approach, i am no sure they said that , but i feel worse now , then before i started all this. Please help ?

Hi there ~
It might be a good idea to consult an endocrinologist at this point to have yourself checked out for any abnormalities in your pituitary hormones as well as your androgens. I also suggest that you might want to ask for a different medication as this current medication is not working. I assume that holistic approach is also helpful and asking help from a psychiatrist as well as a sexologist is helpful.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a lovely day!
