[QUOTE="sh1973, post: 161340, member: 17540"] I’ve not came to that conclusion yet. I’m still in the transition between them right now. Insurance will cover generic androgel 1.62 or brand name with mine. They’re the same so I’d go with whatever is cheapest. Years ago whenever I tried the compounded creams, they were $60-$80 per bottle. Just like cypionate from a pharmacy, the cash price for 10ml with a good rx coupon is $40 and with insurance is free. Why on earth would I go compounded when I can get pharmaceutical grade for free. I like to spend the least possible and certainly don’t fault anyone for going compounded routes. To answer one of your questions, injectable modalities in no way whatsoever mimics human physiology, even with daily injections. I did propionate a few weeks and my levels were sky high three days after a single injection. Topicals are the closet in mimicking our natural processes. You’re not supposed to have elevated t around the clock. This is one of the problems that causes insomnia in a lot of men. I’ve came to no conclusions yet if it’s going to work as good now as it did in the beginning. I will say my conclusion that gels are better than creams I’m absolutely certain of-in many respects. I also tried Axiron in the beginning before androgel but couldn’t tolerate it on my armpits. 4 pumps of axiron had my total t at 1425ng nearly 8 hours after application. You hear all these stories about the gels not getting levels up and it’s complete BS at least in my experience. [/QUOTE]
