-bad for me in normal health (Mood lability) and also: fine ish now in Kingsblood... as prolactin control perhaps, and also in kingsblood (PCT from randro / 4andro)...
-if that helps at all. Likely doesn't.

I have used normal ashwagandha in the past and recently tried out KSM-66. It made me very carefree, emotionally numb, but it still didn't really feel anxiolytic for me. It sounds similar to what some people reported on zinc overusage. But the worst thing: I've lost my normally high libido and arousal. It feels nearly completely gone. I can still reach erections of the normal size but it just feels dead down there and I also don't get aroused at all. I didn't take it for nearly 2 weeks and still don't feel normal. I'm kind of scared at this point. It's weird cause nothing really lowered my libido before. Another possibility is that it's because I have stopped using the 12% Titan DHT gel. I've since then tried many things which are supposed to be androgenic, pro-dopamine or just pro libido and I have also tried cyproheptadine for a few days (which should lower serotonin significantly, as ashwagandha can be serotonergic). I've found some people talk about it and one guy said he needed 1 month before his libido felt normal again.

Anybody has any input on that?

I'm not PFS or anything similar (at least not that I know of)

how long ago was cypro, it could have blocked your histamine.

DHT cream could be the culpit also. We dont even know what kind of gel that is. what strength or what it does.

You see you experiment with so many things at the same time, it is hard to say which is what.

Add DHT gel for one day, if libido comes back. That could be it.

Not sure. Its possible you have too much Acetylcholine or GABA already - both of which lower Dopamine levels/firing. KSM-66 raises both of those Neurotransmitters - so its IDEAL for those with *Primarily* Stress/Cortisol Issues...not Dopamine Deficiencies. You should try Mucuna Pruriens L-Dopa 40% Extract.

I think I'll give that one a shot, yeah.Thanks for the input. I've tried ginkgo and theanine, already without any success.
Ginkgo is a MILD GABA-Antagonist, if it wasn't, then it would block the anti-anxiety Effects of Xanax & Alcohol for People...and we have yet to hear of a Substantial Report that indicates such an Effect, by Ginkgo Biloba Extracts.
You may also benefit from L-Histidine, @Brute, since Histamine inhibits/reduces GABA levels directly in the Hypothalamus - which would be important for disinhibiting Dopamine - and restoring Sexual Function/Libido.
