Doc will only give me Androgel 1.62

[halfwit]

When i was on the hunt for a doctor, i would call there office and ask do you do test injections. Ask how the doctor feels about testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) injections my uro started me at 200mg weeky and said if i need more to let him know. I think ill hold tight at 200mg. Maybe in a few months ill ask him to bump to 500mg a week for about 12 weeks. Cost $10.00 a month with insurance and $32.00 a mont for test.

Good luck with that. (Bolded)

HAHA! The 500mg, was a joke. Don,t think doc would want to loose license. If i change dose at all on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) it wll be lowered versus raised.

Hi,
Well, my insurance company does not want to deal with Gordon so I had to go back to my regular doc and he'll only give me Androgel 1.62. He does not want to give cypionate whatsoever. I made the argument about the price ($350 vs $$60) and complained to the insurance company and they said they'll cover it so I'm stuck.

Is this good or should I shop around and keep looking for another doc? How do I even dose this thing. It's a pump.

I was reading that I should take 2 pumps and apply them to my shoulders. The doc gave me 4 refills and said to see him in 2 months. He didn't give me any dosing instructions.

How should I do this?

Thanks

Find another Dr.

Your Dr. should understand if you cannot afford the Androgel. I changed Dr. a little over a month ago because my prior GP would not listen to me. During my last appointment with him, I said I would find someone else if he would not treat my hypogonadism. He refused, and I actually found a Dr. that would listen to me.

The new GP did start me out on Androgel 1.62%. Last week, he changed me to 200 mg of cypionate weekly when I told him I could not afford the copay for the Androgel. My copay for the Androgel was approximately $380. My copay for the cypionate was $40. Big difference.

androgel sux... we see TT levels go down more often than they actually go up

I found anohter doc that does both gel and injects. He also does AI's and HCG.

I'm meeting him next week so I'll get an opinion from him

Thanks

Yeah, let us know how you go. You've had plenty of advice from your brothers on here (especially halfwit) so it might pay to go in there with your researched protocol and see what his opinion is.
