Maybe our problem is high norepinephrine, and not low epinephrine. I’ve found an article now stating: “Clinically, higher levels of serum norepinephrine have been reported in patients with psychogenic ED than in normal controls or patients with vasculogenic ED” or “The level of norepinephrine was higher in patients with psychogenic impotence than in the normal controls and patients with vasculogenic impotence (p less than 0.01), and it was significantly higher in negative responders than in positive responders in the psychogenic impotence group (p less than 0.001). There was no significant difference in the level of epinephrine among the groups.”
Edit- Found some more interesting info.
I saw a post here on forum how somebody recovered from cycling acetyl carnitine and rhodiola rosea, and now I’ve found article that both of these are norepinephrine boosters…
"3. L-Carnitine
Another amino acid, l-carnitine, is an excellent brain booster and natural antidepressant that works by increasing levels of both norepinephrine and serotonin.
If you decide to give it a try, be sure to use acetyl-l-carnitine (ALCAR), a highly bioavailable form of l-carnitine that readily enters the brain. (28)
- Arctic Root
Arctic root ( Rhodiola rosea ) is a popular adaptogenic herb that reduces depression symptoms as well as antidepressant medications. (29)
It works by decreasing cortisol levels while increasing levels of norepinephrine, serotonin, and dopamine. (30)"
Maybe there really is something to this all… disbalance between norepinephrine and epinephrine, or some kind of bad signaling
Another edit -
"When you have too much norepinephrine, you’ll tend towards anxiety and insomnia.
A sudden burst can even trigger a panic attack. (Maybe this could explain our crashes?)
Conversely, a norepinephrine deficiency can leave you fatigued and depressed, with little interest in life."
