Thanks for your message, infectedmushrooms.
> I myself have tried selegiline/ENSAm to try to reverse the problem as well as wellbutrin but they actually made me worse although wellbutrin slightly enhance orgasm but did not improve impotence...
Does Selegiline is known for improving libido? I know Wellbutrin supposedly is prescribed along with SSRI's that have as a side effect decreased libido. But I wonder if it would be a good idea for him to start trying drugs and everything out there? Or is it better to remain clean and try natural ways?
>>>The problem is you have to know what the receptors the original drug targets and also what amino acids where depleted and the neurotoxicity of the drug in one's system...
Yeah, that's exactly what he says. He knows it's got to do with the receptors and possibly neurotransmitter depletion. I've heard of something called amino acid therapy, where they get a urine sample to determine what neurotransmitters are deficient. Then they give you supplements like 5HTP, L-tyrosine, Gaba, etc. I've haven't tried it with a real specialist, but I read a book called mood cure and on my own took several supplements. It didn't do anything for me, but again, I didn't have a urine sample or did it with a specialist. Are you familiar at all with that method?
>I find the only thing that is starting to give me some libido back are whey protein...liver supporting supplements...immune enahcing supplements like acidophilus and vitamins...adaptogens and specific smart drugs need to be tried as well for NGF as well as longer periods of abstinence from sexual activity...
Are you serious? So how much progress do you think such proteins and supplements have accomplished in your recovery? Let's say, from 0-10 (zero being completely impotent) where were you first, and where are you now after those supplements, and in how long?
>I am currently on Piracetam and may try to hit another cholinergenic to get things jump started...There is a board I belong to where people lost sex drives from over-masturbation and drugs as well...http://recover.forumup.org/
Thanks for the website. I will let him know. So how do you know that the whey protein and supplements made the trick, if you're also taking piracetam? You seem to be taking several things, so it's hard to pinpoint which one might be helping.
> I don't believe depression is the cause of his sex based on my own experience...Agreed.
>But going to doctors and specialists is probably the worst route...So is over researching and thinking its hopeless...
Why is over researching hopeless? Isn't that what you've done and what we'd be doing if we go to that website? It's research and more research.. which needs to be done in order to target the right brain receptor.
>Thats why people with parkinson's lose their sex drive and they become hypersexual on their l-dopa drugs b/c it has to do with neurotransmitters...
What is l-dopa? And would that work for my friend?
> The drug he took may not have been a neuroleptic but anything altering neurotransission in the brain can change gene expression and that too can be reversed through change of attitude and other ways...
Change of attitude? I don't understand that. How can a change of attitude cure a neurotransmitter problem? That sounds like magic "I change my attitude and my problems are gone..." It's not clear what you're trying to say there.
>The body is remarkable in its abiliy to heal when everything is still intact...I mean he didn't lose a limb or became paralyzed...I think he will recover 100% once he learns to settle down accept the situation as it is and try his best to get his drive back....
Again, that sounds like magic. Accept the situation and you'll get cured? How would you get cured by accepting the situation? I've accepted that I'm depressed since 12 years ago. That didn't cure me. That just put me en route to find the cure through trying ADs and therapy, but I've tried tons of things (including diet and exercise) and I'm still not cured.
>I have spent countless hours researching and believe I may know how to fix this...Like I said in the previous post being as stress free as possible, diet, exercise, and time and specific smart drugs and supplements will probably allow him to recover 100% it is just a matter of the will of the individual...
I thought you said that over-research and thinking about it wouldn't work. But it's working for you.. When you say you 'may' know how to fix it, you mean with diet, exercise and time, smart drugs & supplements? Has that worked for you already, or you're making a supposition?
Well, thanks a lot for the info. If you could clarify the points I didn't understand I'd really appreciate it. I will pass the website on to my friend as well..
Thanks again,
GI78
