And as positive that it is there appears to be a little improvement, it was still not by my thoughts so much as porn as embarrassing as it is. And it almost furthers the ordeal of stay off of the med and hope for improvement or get back on in hopes of full recovery..

Ok so been just experimenting today. I finally was able to become fully erect with porn, still doesnt work with just my thoughts like before. But a couple of days ago I couldn’t get it to do anything and even had an orgasm while limp it was so bad. Sorry for the detail. So with that being said it’s been six weeks since all of this started off my med. is it pssd if I can get an erection with porn but not by simply manual stimulation? When people have gone back to normal has it been gradual? Improvement is good, just confused. Still hoping that I can get an erection with my wife and it’s not just porn that works..

So for a week I was completely back to normal, had desire and no Ed at all. I though I was better, and now I have suddenly lost sexual desire again and having Ed issues again. Even have a lot of shrinkage going on down there which is weird. I’m not sure what is going on. I am still having erections in my sleep..

It looks like you are recovering with a few up and down moments. Try to keep stress low and avoid foods/supplements that lower testosterone or 5ar. A lot of positives though.

Thank you. I hope your are correct. This week has had some downs for sure but I am trying to be proactive. I am back to tingling in my hands and feet with muscle spasms. My desire is subpar, I can get turned on to seeing porn but just a simple thought of a previous moment or my wife or manual stimulation doesn’t do much. I am doing testosterone shots as my dr is hoping this boosts my libido, it’s only been a week of the shots so far but I have not noticed anything. I am not sure if some of the erection issues is now from it just being in my head and I’m worried so I am even (don’t laugh) seeing a hypnosis therapist tomorrow to try to see if I can get the anxiety out from the negative thought of failure for it to work. I’m hoping I go back to normal but right now I just don’t know if there is something else underlying dr hasn’t found, if it’s pssd, pure withdraws from just stopping the viibryd cold turkey— although now it’s been two months

You do realize that once you start exogenous testosterone, your body slows and eventually shuts down endogenous production (at high enough doses). You're playing with fire.

Just leave everything alone, dude. You're having tons of long windows. Recovery could very well be just around the corner.
Fluoxetine Jan. '16 - Aug. 16'.
Low libido, weak erections, lack of morning wood.

What has helped, if only temporarily: Inositol, choline, NAC/Histidine, MSM, Moclobemide, SJW, L-Arginine, Prazosin, Sildenafil, Naltrexone and boron

No I did not realize that. My dr had recommended 4 weeks of a low dose because my bloodwork showed testosterone at 386 which is not much higher than the low/normal range. If I need to stop I will for sure

I’m not a Dr so I just thought I was doing the right thing by listening to his opinion. I did not know it would have an adverse affect. I thought it might improve my chance for gaining back sexual desire
