I have been taking Androgel (1% testosterone topical gel) for over two years. When I got my implant recently, my urologist didn't say anything about stopping the usage. For me, the testosterone has increased my sex drive dramatically. Imagine going through all the trouble and pain of getting an implant and then not having much interest in using it.
Prior to using Androgel, I was using Viagra with no problems. The problem was that I only had sex about once a month. I just didn’t have much interest. My wife thought something was wrong. She got my doctor to test my T level, and found it to be very low. After starting the Androgel, I couldn't get enough Viagra. Those were the good old days. All I needed to do was take a pill.
As far as sex is concerned, I think testosterone affects your mental state more than your physical ability, which is what the implant is about.
Stay with the testosterone.

Yes...testosterone is for libido, positive attitude, energy level, heart health. So, yes. T is not viagra.

Ditto to the the previous responses. I have testopel pellets implanted every 3 months.
