Before Fortesta, I had all the symptoms of low-T. Lack of energy, lack of motivation, grumpy, lack of endurance, sleep issues, decline in sexual performance/satisfaction, difficulty losing weight, etc. After starting Fortesta, every one of those symptoms declined markedly or went away. For me, it could not have been more effective. I am an older athlete and I expected to see a big increase in ...

When on Androgel you do blood work in AM and with Fortesta it is 2 hours after applying gel. Doctor put me on lower dose of Fortesta to stay within range and now I have sexual dysfunction but T levels are withing range. So even though I was on more Androgel for years using a higher does to test in range. My doc is keeping me in range with Fortesta and I have been pretty much limp for over a month. Doctor says it is in my head and gave me a few levetras to get me over the hump. I want to test in range as well. I strongly recomend against Fortesta. Was doing pretty good for 7 years and my doctor switched me to Fortesta and tested slightly out of range with the dose I felt comfortable at. Read More Read Less

Was on Fortesta for 3 weeks. There were tow problems, one of which was major. I had a allergic skin reaction, which caused a suspected skin infection. My doctor prescribed 5 days of antibiotics, which cleared up the swelling and redness. The other complaint was the drying time of the medication. It would take over 1.5 hours to dry.

Increased my testertone level about 200% over past year. I wait a few minutes for it to dry while doing other bathroom chores, then rub a good body lotion on it and put my pants on in a few minutes. It does not need to be totally dry, which seems to be one of the main complaints

low risk of transfer to kids since its under the shorts, not like other gels I used on my arms, rubs in well but i use a fan for 10min to dry it, good increase in T levels and noticeable fat burning and muscle production

Just started today...and I DO NOT like the way it is making me feel. Very strange feeling. I do not think it will be worth this lousy feeling to increase my low testosterone.

daily application of fortesta for ED issues. Marginal results at best. Application can be messy.

38 male, went in for a checkup with complaints of low energy and low libido. Dr tested my testosterone level which was 234. He put me on Fortesta 4 pumps a day and increased it to 6 pumps a day two weeks ago. I've been on it for month and a half and I must say that I have not felt this good since my high school days. My energy is through the roof, libido is back, I feel much happier about life, my work performance has improved dramatically, my self esteem is up and my confidence is back. I'm truly greatfull for these changes and for the improved quality of life. The only down side I've noticed is shrinkage of testicles which doesn't bother me given all the positives.

I've only used Fortesta for 4 days now and I can already feel the difference between it and Androgel and Testim. The biggest difference is that with Fortesta, I don't feel "high" or impaired, if you know what I mean. My thoughts are clear. From this tiny window of use, I can only predict that my health, life and the way I feel will get better and better as my body gets use to Fortesta. I'm grateful to my doctor who worked with me to find something that's appears right for me. It's been a long and difficult road getting here. Read More Read Less

It took like forever(it seems to me) for to take effect. But, the effects are great great. It just takes a while for the gel to dry even after rubbing it in vigorously.

Easy to use. I feel positive effects after only two months. Some minor skin irritation but I'm controlling it by rotating the application sites & using OTC cortisone cream for the irritation.

IT took over 6 months to see any results of the usage then my levels went from 107 to 523 in another 30 day I was tested again and my levels were at over 1,700 the Doctor reduced my dosage and will test me again in two months. I am worried that this spike will harm me in the long run.

This gel is fairly easy to use - my only concern in the time needed for the gel to dry before putting on my pants. Used Axiron prior and it was ineffective (you use this on your underarms) . Axiron failed to change Total T (at all) after 60 days of use.

If you want to increase your hormone levels this works. When you get the phone book of side effects and then experience 95% of them including migraine headaches, abdominal craps that keep you in bed, and not being able to sleep then try it. By the way the list goes on. Try it if you are a stuntman.
