thanks !
update:
havent posted much lately, so i tought it would make sense to give a quick update
(keep in mind that i also take about 10mg of isotretinoin (accutane) a week, which albeit very low dose, is still risky)
lately ive been feeling pretty good,interestingly. my life situation did not change at all and i cant pin point it to any major positive events.
very little gut issues, little anxiety, no longer feel the need for a nap each afternoon (not each day at least). i feel like my brain "works better" and sometime i even have some sparks of creativity! i wonder if its just depression lifting
end of october/beginning of november i had tried 3 weeks of agomelatine/25mg+nsi189/30mg a day. while on it i dont think it did much, but i have the feeling nsi is partially responsible for the good feeling once you come off it. happened the first time i tried it, 2 or 3 years ago. i think nsi is a substance worth trying but i dont think it makes sense to stay on for longer periods.
in the past month ive been taking just l arginine, pycnogenol, vitaminD+magnesium+zinc, and recently ive been trying cistanche . soall natural, so to say, which i find quite comforting lol
i dont know if its just placebo or wishful thinking, but i have the impression that taking cistanche improves my glans sensitivity. edging is really much harder now, and tbh i sometime fuck it up, which was never a problem before and is really new for me!
the whole nitric oxide + antioxidants pathway seems really promising. i also want to look more into DHT, investigating glycine and creatine.
i remember that i had a window with great erections last spring and i think it was due to some protein powder which had probably both of them added .
i also keep using a bathmate pump on and off (much less religiously than at the beginning) but it still helps a lot, as does abstaining from porn and masturbation
i tend to reach max 1 week off before "relapsing", but i can notice a huge difference. so abstinence is really helpful for me, and its well documented in chinese medicine that one should not "release" too much.
all in all i just feel im on a positive path and i hope i can make it last!
