PFS or PSSD

Hi everyone!
I was using saw palmetto extract over the course of 5 months two years ago and then I developed sexual side effects once i stopped, which are with me to this day. I don't get morning wood except for very rare occasions and lose it quickly once i stand up anyway. It is very difficult to get erect even on cialis and I'm 21 years old.
Now, I started to develop side effects when I took one pill of 5-htp. 2 years prior I also had taken 1-2 pills of amitriptyline and carbamazepine total when I was placed in a pchych ward. I developed ed while i was on it, but then recovered quickly once i stopped because i didn't take much anyways. When I took 5-htp, next time me and my girlfriend had sex, I had DE. Didn't think much of it, but I still deceided to drop everything I was taking. I had a period of complete recovery once I quit everything cold turkey for like a week and then one evening I became very challenged in the sexual department. Could this be PSSD or unlikely from one pill of 5-HTP?
I still have the sensitivity, no anorgasmia and high libido. it just feels like my brain doesn't send a good enough signal to my genitals.
I tried a lot of things, the only thing that is helping me so far is nofap. Sometimes I feel like im 90% recovered and there's a pattern, although these days are rare and I just come back to my shitty baseline shortly. I'm willing to try anything and everything as I don't want to live like this anymore. Might as well reinstate the ssri if it will help. If nothing helps i might as well just kill myself.
