Man this isn’t fair…I can’t tolerate not having any. I just feel dead inside. Has anyone recovered just a slice of their libido? Is there anything that will help with this? I’ll take Viagra, whatever, I just need some sort of zest. Does Sustain Alpha or DTH have any effect on anyone? This is no way to live.
Hi,
Viagra (plus Cialis, Levitra) has nothing to do with libido and will not help you. It’s entirely to do with the mechanical aspect of getting an erection. It helps your penis fill with blood. That’s it.
I haven’t taken finasteride but have had libido problems related to Ecstasy use. This is a list of everything that has helped libido for me:
-
Sustain Alpha. Given that your problem is caused by finasteride and therefore probably hormone-related, this should be the first thing you should try. In fact, if you can afford it, I’d go the entire Primordial Performance “Testosterone Recovery Stack”. I’ve only tried Sustain Alpha myself but the stuff is definitely not snake oil. Give it a shot.
-
Magnesium. Everyone with libido problems should be supplementing this. There’s a supplement called ZMA that combines zinc and magnesium and is probably your best choice, but I don’t supp zinc because for some reason it makes my dick numb. 200-400 mg/day.
-
Vitamin E. I don’t really have any idea why this works for me in terms of what its role is in the body. I’ve seen mixed reports on the net. Your mileage may vary. 500 IU/day.
-
Mucuna pruriens. This is a plant extract that is essentially L-Dopa, the direct precursor to dopamine. I can’t give a dosage since the extract I have is quiet about the L-Dopa percentage. I find this stuff takes at least 24 hours to start working.
-
Cabergoline. I tried this for the first time the other day, 0.25mg which is a low dose, but I could definitely feel it. It’s a D2-specific dopamine agonist, which is the receptor you need to hit for upping libido.
-
GHB. This is illegal but I’ve had some good results with it. Nobody knows precisely how it acts on the brain, but it made me horny as hell.
I haven’t tried DTH, and the amount of stimulants packed into it makes me a little nervous, but I’ll probably get hold of some at some point and start slow on it.
Cool, thanks man. My problems actually stem from Saw Palmetto (can read my story). I’ve been taking bupropion (aka Wellbutrin, prescribed from a Dr of course) which supposedly helps with dopamine but no effect sexually thus far.
Few people have mentioned ZMA as well. I’ll look into Sustain Alpha, too.
anyone had any luck with maca?
i’ve been using it for a week so far
i think the maca has been pretty good for me
was able to have sex last night without losing my erection and hardness was decent , not solid as steel but good
