I took Propecia for three months and I’ve been off it for about 2 and a half. I’ve seen significant improvement both mentally and physically/sexually within the last month. When I stopped taking Propecia my erections were zilch and my libido did not exist. My first step to recovering was to maintain an optimistic and positive attitude. I could accept the current situation or I could do everything in my power to improve myself. It’s a choice. I believe a positive attitude is the cornerstone for the recovery process. The body is an amazing creation that is able to heal itself if taken care of properly.
I changed my eating habits completely. No more fast food. I cut down on processed foods and sugar. I elimanted energy drinks and caffeine completley. I have one of those mini-blenders I make fruit smoothies in daily.
I purchased a bicycle and have been riding to work (10 miles each way) almost everyday. There are days I don’t feel like riding but I overcome that feeling by keeping the goal in mind. This benefits me both physically and mentally. Plus I’m saving on fuel.
Sleep is vital for the body to restore itself each day. I changed to a more regular sleeping schedule. I stopped staying up late and sleeping in until noon.
I was hopeful yet skeptical of all the natural/herbal supplements to improve erections and libido. The first supplement I started taking is olive leaf extract. I came across information on this by chance. Information does not directly relate this to improved sexual function. My main reasons for choosing this are the numerous benefits it has. Namely the strengthened immune system and no risk of toxicity or side effects. I will attatch more info for your research.
After a few weeks and more research I decided to go with Asian Ginseng.
I have had a more noticable increase in erections and libido with the ginseng. I’ve also had improved mental and stamina effects. It is important to note that ginseng is not recommended for more than 3 months at a time.

To summarize, this has been my personal experience and improvement. None of this info was given to me by a doctor but is based on my own values and research. Attitude is key. The body is an amazing creation that is able to heal and restore itself when given optimal conditions. Since implementing the changes, I’ve had: increased feeling in gentials, more erections lasting longer, increased libido, and an overall sense of well-being. There is not one single solution or answer. The key is balancing out mental, physical and spiritual health since they are all interconnected.
