I tried a 30mg under arm application right off the bat and obviously that was overdose. Felt like I was having a heart attack. So I changed to 2mg Androderm patch. Energy has increased. Mood has improved in less than a month. The only problem is HORRIFIC hot flashes! About every 15 minutes and they last anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes. It's like an internal blast furnace has been turned on. I just have to walk into a deep freezer somewhere and cool off . If this keep up into summer - forget it! Sad because it is working and I do feel better overall. I have total sympathy for ladies in menopause! It completely rules your life. You absolutely have to stop everything you are doing and fan yourself or use cold compresses on chest and neck. Stand in front of an open refrigerator. Turn the AC as low as it will go in the middle of winter. It's horrible! I haven't seen anybody else complain of it so I'm know I'm just weir | It does make the skin itch where the patch is but only mildly.

ANDRODERM (TESTOSTERONE): This medicated patch contains testosterone. It is used for hormone replacement in men who are not able to produce enough testosterone (e.g., hypogonadism). This medication is absorbed through the skin, enters your bloodstream, and helps your body reach normal testosterone levels. Testosterone helps the body to develop and maintain the male sexual characteristics (masculinity), such as a deep voice and body hair. It also helps to maintain muscle and prevent bone loss, and is necessary for natural sexual ability/desire. This drug should not be used by women.
