Are There Any Side Effects Of Taking Fortesta On Behavior?
MY husband is 48 and has been taking Fortesta for Low T for a about a year and half. In increasingly larger doses. After starting this he began to change, researched and carried out having an affair and moved out 8 months ago. He seems very disconnected,depressed and sad has memory problems, not at all like himself. We have been together for 25 years. He was also, diagnosed with type 2 diabetes about 7 months ago(which he is in denial about). He stopped taking his Cymbalta as he says he does not need this. Could the Fortesta be a factor in such out of character personality changes in him? He does not seem like the man I know
Fortesta contains testosterone and it has lot of side effects. It also effects on behavioral in form of increase aggression, impulsiveness, change sexual drive, mood swings etc. In that case, he needs to stop it and such side effect would improve. Better to consult a psychiatrist or physician for proper management. In case, you need further help, you can ask.
Thanks
