    Hi all,

    I'm just wondering have any of you been diagnosed with low T? I have just recently been diagnosed with it by my GP and have been prescribed <modsnip>. How much does this usually cost for a month's supply if any of you are on it? I have inquired at just one pharmacy and they priced it a 82 euro for the month :( I have seen it for around 40 pounds on a website called <modsnip> and I'm thinking of going that route if I cant find a better price here.

    Why didn't you ask your GP when they prescribed it for you?

    Stay away from online pharmacies. Stick to your local legit ones. May be worth looking into the drug payment scheme also. Basically if you pay over 144 a month for prescribed meds, the government covers the rest for you.

    Which one?

    <modsnip>
    <modsnip>
    <modsnip>
    <modsnip>

    All look different. Furthermore, the stuff in the pharmacy is kept at the correct temp. The stuff you get online, if not from a legit shop, could be from jaysus knows, kept in a warehouse or not.

    Buying prescription medication online isn't legal in Ireland. Your shipment could easily be seized by customs.

    11.2 for a 22 year old. I've defiantly been feeling the effect of low t alright. Sleep and stress are at an ok level but I have suffered from depression in the past.

    What was the measument abbreviation after the 11.2?

    Ideally it should be measured a few times over a month to get a proper picuture of what's going on and don't just go on a GP's advice. If you start on the gel's it will over time shut down all your natural product potentials for life. Do you want to go on TRT for life. Could affect your chances of having kids in the future.

    Have full blood panels done a few times and go see a specialist.

    Mod note - OK Guys, per site charter there should be no discussion on prescription meds. Also, buying drugs online isn't encouraged so we have decided we will not facilitate discussion on online pharmacies as we are unable to determine the authenticity of them. Thread can remain open for the meantime but this post should be noted.
