    Hypogonadism - on it for several years now at 20 to 20mg per day (2 to 3 pumps). Increases libido and stamina. No identifiable side effects over time.

    Started Treatment for low libido with Fortesta Gel 6 weeks ago, used 2 pumps each thigh for 5 weeks, pump ran out. Went back to doctor today, testosterone levels raised less than 100 points after 5 weeks! Doctor prescribed 3 pumps a day for 6 more weeks, I did not feel any difference after the first 5 weeks!

    Comment:
    Starting just two hours after my first dose, I felt a big change in mental awareness and my sluggishness went away. My headache went away and I was able to actually focus. Day 2 my self confidence came back and I was full of energy and self esteem. I stepped on the scale and for the first time it did not say LOSE WEIGHT FAT BOY. It just gave me a number. It is definitely not a placebo effect. I ho ... Show Full Comment
