I've tried lots of herbs and supplements and found vitamin E best for improving all aspects of libido from drive to performance. I take a natural mixed tocopherols called E-400 by NOW.
I usually have trouble with vitamin E but this variety seems to be "cleaner". Sometimes the ceiling nearly spins and I get shaky when I take too much E. Since I suffer from anxiety and high blood pressure I have to be careful.
I'm currently taking only inderal LA 60mgs for high blood pressure and anxiety. Occasionally I take a few mgs of cymbalta, which at low doses increases libido but at prescribed doses (40mgs per day) makes me anorgasmic. Yet small amounts of cymbalta puts the kama in the kamasutra, making for long intense orgasms.
I've tried lots of "aphrodisiacs" like ginseng and various plants and tree bark from the Amazon. Most have too much of a body load. It's like peyote or mushrooms - you get high and feel like crap at the same time.
Pot is the best aphrodisiac, but until I move to a pot-friendly state, I'll settle for vitamin E and cymbalta. I guess I need to move to Holland.
Thanks for all the info from your Dr's visit. That's very generous and thoughtful of you.
