User Medicine Opinions for Androderm

Overall: Low adverse Reactions Healing Power: No dependency problems: Cost-Benefit: Sex: M Age: 20 Time Taken: 1.5 months Reason: FTM Date: 5 December 2006 Side Effects Itches like crazy if I put it too close to my spine. Stick well on my back, doesn't stick as well on my arm. Additional Thoughts Before this, I was injecting every week and the levels would fall before the next shot. I have more energy now that testosterone levels are consistent.
