IF ANYBODY KNOWS ABOUT THEDRUGS LIKE VIAGRA AND PROPECIA PLAY INTO A HEAY OPIATE I NEED TO HEAR ABOUT IT, CAN YOU IMAGINE THE LIFT OF A FINANCIAL BURDEN THAT MAKES YOU HAVE TO DECIDE TO PAY RENT OR TREAT YOUR PAIN. ## Not a prescription medication for pain. Is it something available over the counter? What country are you in? ## There is MXL, which is MST Continus but in a 24 hours formulation and not the usual 12 hour one; that, however, is NOT an imprint associated with that drug. The only other 24 hour opioid I know of is JURNISTA hydromorphone, which comes in 32 and 64mg strengths but are a kind of plastic pump operated tablet meant to be abuse-proof, and increasingly used in South and East Europe, mainly as a substitute for recreational users of street opiates. Again, that imprint i...

Has anyone had the experience of PSA score appearing to rise some after TESTOPEL implants being done? Three (3) months after my implants -- when it is time to do again -- my PSA is elevated, making it in the 4.77 range. I go on an antibiotic (either Duricef or CIPRO) and it comes down. My urologist is very much my advocate and knows the great many benefits I receive from this procedure. He is thinking of ANOTHER prostate biopsy, but no definite decision has been made. Although not unbearable, I'd rather not have to do this. Thoughts, anyone ???? ## Hello, Bob! How are you? There have been some concerns about the effect of testosterone supplementation on the prostate, including an elevated risk of cancer, but nothing definitive has been proven, yet. Some doctors are refusing to let t...

My Doctor has informed me that Testopel has been pulled off the market. Are other people being told this and does anyone know why? ## Hello, Andrew! How are you? I'm sorry, but right now, I can't find any information showing that it has been discontinued or recalled. Did you doctor provide any other detail, such as why? Does anyone else know anything? ## I just had my implants 2 days ago. Did not hear about it. ## Where did you go? My doctor also said they are not available right now because of some regulations, so I'm having to get the shots every few weeks instead. :/ ## I work in a urology office where we deal with testosterone replacement therapy. Testopel is still available, and we are actively scheduling and placing pellets every week. It's possible your physician ...

I AM 45 YEAR OLD. I'VE BEEN A DIABETES MELLITIS AND HYPERTENSION PATIENT FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS ON REGULAR MEDICATION AND BOTH ARE CONTROLLED ON INSULIN AND ANTI HYPERTENSIVE MEDICATION. 3 MONTHS AGO I DID BYPASS SURGERY B/C 3VD. I WANT TO ASK, CAN I USE VIAGRA? IS IT SAFE FOR ME AFTER BYPASS SURGERY? I WOULD LIKE TO INFORM YOU THAT I AM NOT TAKING ANY NITRATES AND I DON'T HAVE ANY HISTORY OF MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION. NOW A DAYS, I AM USING THESE MEDICATIONS: ASPIRIN, PLAVIX, CONCOR 5 MG, LIPITOR 40 MG, AND INSULIN ON A FIXED DOSE. KINDLY REPLY TO ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THANKS. ## No, it actually shouldn't be taken with blood pressure/cardiac medications, because it can also lower blood pressure and could cause it to drop dangerously low, according to the NIH. What has your doc...

It's a small brownish yellow tear drop pill with the inscription T 20 on one side and nothing on the other ## @Billy Bob, Any chance the imprint says C 20 as opposed to T 20? A yellow tear drop shaped pill with C 20 inscribed on one side and blank on the other is reportedly identified as Cialis (tadalafil) 20mg, used to treat ED/impotence. If it's of any use for comparison, the pill is stated to be approximately 12mm in size and the C appears to be somewhat italicized. I hope this helps!

Hey guys, Lived with Low T for 30+ years. I'm 55. Libido is low, fatigued, fat, sleep disorders... Doc is going to give me the Testopel treatment for Hypogonadism (pituitary and testes problems). Questions I have: 1) Will libido improve? I'm reading posts that it worsens. Why is this - doesn't seem logical? 2) Any increase in energy and overall physical performance? 3) Muscle gain and fat loss associated with it or not? Thanks all... ## The non-improvement to the libido can be normal and usually only lasts for a few weeks, it's generally just due to your body getting used to the new hormone level. Yes, there can be an increase in energy and performance, as well as muscle gain and some loss in body fat, but it really works the same as the above, there may not be any immed...

What is this pill says Collins on one side and 100 on the other side and it's blue shaped like a big teardrop ## From what I could gather, Collins is a pharmaceutical company based in Guadalajara, Mexico. I didn't locate an exact match to your pill, but among my findings were clues depicting this as some sort of foreign generic viagra (100mg) tablet that goes by the name "Mazzogran" - a product of Collins pharmaceuticals. If it really is "for your man" as your username suggests, then I see this as a viable suspect for sure. Whereabouts did you get it from?

Having used carverjet & other manufactures, please be aware that after about 3-4 years of Injecting scarring will Acurr over the period ,and you will notice it more difficult to pass urine.it is a slow process & you may not notice. However as time goes on it will more difficult to enter the needle, From my own experience I would advise you to stop using. Otherwise you could end up using a catheter bag. Things manufacturers do state , but not the outcome. ## Hi, I've been using Caverject for many years now, and a long time ago, about two and a half years ago I talked to my Dr about using my 31 gauge syringe that I use for my insulin, he couldn't find any info on it but told me to just try it, if it works then great if not then back to the 30 gauge, well the 31 gauge works...

I was given pink pilld with SM stamped on one side and a line stamped on the other. Was told it was Cialis but im pretty sure its suppose to be triangle shaped and orange. What is this pink pill?! ## I think it may be steroid usually have pink round pill with slash on one side and s m on the other there Superman dbol. ## I agree with John, in that most pills with this type of description are typically identified as steroids. Based on what I've read, this particular pill could be either winstrol, anavar, or dbol; I just haven't come across a truly definitive answer on this. However most of the details I've seen depict it as being dbol. Anyone else have information on this? ## I have them as well. Marketed as generic cialis, but they kick the s*** out of cialis. Funny or confu...

I had testosterone pellets inserted in my hip last April, 2012. My tes shot up from 355 to 850 in a couple of weeks. Everything was OK, then about 10 weeks into the program I started having anxiety. I got to the point where it was panic. I have never felt panic to this degree. I went back to my doc and he checked my estrogen and found out it was 3 times higher than when I started the program. He gave me some anastrasole to block the production of estrogen. Once that door was open my anxiety would not go away. I started taking 30 mg of Cymbalta to control my anxiety. Now 4 months later things are starting to level off. Obviously I was disappointed and do not plan on getting the Testosterone Pellets anymore. It seems like I experienced all the negative side effects and none of the positiv...

I am 41yrs and I used Axiron for about a Month and I have stopped using it for about 2wks now. is there any side effect apart from loosing my libido? Also I have decided to take a lot of vitamin D and Zinc and it seems it has been working alright. Any body have ideas of using vitamins to replace Axiron? ## Hello, Sam! How are you? Has there been any change? There is really no over the counter replacement for Testosterone, but upping some of your nutrients may help improve your levels, though there are no guarantees. Why did you stop using the Axiron? The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, hair growth, and irritability.

blue pill ## can not find the mfg. of pfiagara please advice i like to be safe ## I think you might mean Viagra - It is a blue pill, manufactured by PFIZER. ## this drug is called pfiagara shipped to me from Indonesia, purchased onlinesupose to be a generic for viagra, trying to find date, but no replies????? ## Well finding much information is going to be very difficult, since this is a foreign medication and not approved for use in the US, it is not regulated like FDA approved medications are. The only thing I can suggest is trying to contact the place you ordered it from. ## PFIAGARA is a generic form of Viagra manufactured by Uni-Sule Pvt Ltd in Sonepat India. They are a Pharmaceutical manufacturing plant in that country. They most likely don't meet the specifications of our FDA...

I have been taking Cialis 20 mg for around a year or 2 and have only taken it around 3 hours before intimacy. Now I am trying Erectafil st 20. How long before intimacy do I take it? Thank you. ## It is actually the same medication, they both contain the active ingredient Tadalafil, so unless your doctor has instructed you otherwise, you should likely take it the same as you did the Cialis. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, runny nose and priapism. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I have the 10mg and have been cutting them in half and taking 5mg per day. Seems to work fine. Is there a problem with cutting them?

can we take vigora 100mg when we are planning for a baby boy and getting pregnant... ## Vigora contains the active ingredient Sildenafil, it is used to treat erectile dysfunction. It is safe for man to use under medical supervision, but will not increase the likelihood of your getting pregnant. There are also no ways to guarantee that you will get pregnant with a boy. It may cause some side effects, such as: nausea, dizziness, stuffy nose and priapism.

Does anyone know of any evidence of interactions between Testopel and marijuana? 40 yo with Low T (300). Went from gel to injections, now on pellets. ## As of this time, marijuana has not been found to interact dangerously with anything, in various medical studies available on PubMed. The main warning, however, is that since it tends to make people feel very mellow, it could result in more sedation and dizziness than usual, when combined with some medications…. which in turn means don't drive and stay away from heavy machinery. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Is it true that marijuana usage can reduce t-levels? Will using while on Testopel be counterproductive?

My 50 year old husband has been on Android gel replacement therapy for 2 years. Within 6 months of starting the treatment he became a changed man. He purchased a rubber sex toy, started looking at gay porn on the internet, and our sex life basically stopped. Just recently I found that he had placed a personal ad for sex with a man. During all this time he had become aggressive mean and quick to anger. I filed for divorce, and when I confronted him he broke down. He was never like this before the androgel therapy. We are trying to reconcile, and I am doing research on the connection between androgel and latent homosexual urges in straight men. Is there any research out there concerning this link, and are there any other men out there who have experienced this while on androgel therapy? #...

Is taking this medicine enough for increasing the testosterone levels? ## Hello, Musharraf! How are you? Yes, this is used to supplement Testosterone for men who may not be producing enough. However, it shouldn't be taken, unless your doctor has said that you need it. Have they prescribed it for you? ## Hi I am kashif. I am dealing with a low sperm count. Could this be the reason that my wife and I have only had girls? (we have 3 kids and she has always wanted a boy) But I also think it could be due to a low sperm count. Should I consider working with my doctor to start a round of Androxan or Endex? ## My sperm count and motility are both very low. If I use andrex 40 mg capsule could it provide some benefit? Are there any special diet considerations with this too?
