50% recovered?

I’m hesitant to write 50%, just because I don’t know if I should consider this HALFWAY.

As my member story states, I started with watery ejaculate, diminshed orgasm, delayed ejaculation, and almost a complete lack of sexual desire.

Two months later, my ejaculate volume and quality seems to have improved to what it was before propecia. My orgasm is about 1/2 what it used to be, and my sexual desire is abot 1/2 what it used to be. My delayed ejaculation is mostly gone, but I won’t rule it out. I’ve also started experiencing more spontaneous erections.

So what am I doing differently?

Recently, through the advice of someone on this forum, I started taking Zinc (70-90 g a day, this is high, yes), quercetin (1500-2000 mg a day), combo pill of horny goat weed, tribulus, avena sativa and longjack (the tribulus doesn’t do much, but it’s in combo), and downing Omega 3’s.

I started the Quercetin and zinc last week, and I’m definitely feeling a difference. not sure which causes what, but my sexual desire has increased and my morning erections have increased. I DEF recommend these–and they’re natural and cheap.

I do not recommend Maca, Tribulus.

I would like to try out DIM (broccoli stuff), Wellbutrin (NDRI known for increasing sexual drive) and Naltrexone. The latter two are prescripts, but I have a script for one from a year or two back (wellbutrin, not the nal).

If anyone can share any advice on these drugs, any concerns… any thougts… questions… please do share!

This forum has been absolutely GREAT in terms of treatments and it’s wonderful to see other people experiencing the same crap and more. Who wants to be alone?

dont wana burst ur bubble… but having all that stuff may help… but wat happens wen u stop taking it… i mean u cant take it forever right??

Bubble still in tact :slight_smile:

I don’t see any problem in taking Zinc, Omega 3 and Quercetin for the rest of my life. In fact, I’d like to take them for the rest of my life as beyond sexual function, they serve other purposes.

As for the other drugs mentioned (wellbutrin, naltrexone), those I would not take the rest of my life, yes, but the studies I’ve read on Wellbutrin and sexual function indicate that it caused the men/women to return to pre-sexual dysfunction and stay there. So… I DO NOT think this is permanent.

Also, it could have something to do with your age, too.

90g zinc?
zinc is toxic in high doses!

Right.

I got that advice from someone on the forums, and I space it out throughout the day.

Also, people who exercise frequently usually have a zinc deficiency–hence products like ZMA (Zing Magnesium Aspartame).

I’ve felt fine thus far, but I appreciate the concern.

Thats nothing! i take over 300g of zinc a day, I feel fine!

Holy crap…
