Hey brothers, I took 125mg of saw palmetto extract (Jamieson brand) for 3 weeks and realized I had completely lost my libido and morning erections… this has also lead to severe depression as i’ve been reading other people’s stories who have not recovered after years.
After quitting I thought i was recovering for about 3 weeks until I crashed again and felt terrible - hot flashes, numbness in the groin and reduced ejaculate.
So far it’s been 8 months and all I can say is i have to try really hard to get and maintain an erection - which only happens with physical stimulation (mentally i’m just not interested). My ejaculate volume has returned to normal i believe.
Does anyone have any cure or treatment for this???
So far i’ve tried:
Vitamin D3
Zinc
Cod liver oil
Ginseng
Ashwagandha
Sorghum
Creatine
DIM
Mucuna Puriens
Exercise
Intermittent Fasting
But no luck 
I saw 2 Urologists who said it low testosterone was the issue and 1 endocrinologist had no issue with my testosterone level as it was just on the lower end of the range and that it was psychological and referred me to a psychiatrist.
My blood sugar and cholesterol levels were also tested for possible diabetes and heart problems but they were fine.
Total Testosterone = 455 ng/dl
Fasting blood glucose = 93 mg/dl
Cholesterol = 170 mg/dl
