It's pretty difficult to use anything else when you want to use xenforo. This format is one of the most popular templates. LoL
When you say libido what do you actually mean? If you mean libido in the real sense of the word. I have to assume this is probably a placebo. Nizagra is primarily sildenafil citrate. This is just normal viagra. These compounds don't even increase libido in normal people. They simply improve erectile function. Ability to gain and maintain an erection. Improves blood flow.

Agree, these sorts of drugs definitely resolve ED issues when I've tried them - but do nothing for sensitivity, and the libido increase feels minimal, just association with the erection.
It is really possible, with PAS/PFS, we do have less blood flow travelling through the penis
With the increase of blood flow and with nutrients and everything that comes with it,It could be filling androgen receptors or other tissue that are missing these most of the time. It also sends a message to the brain that we're " ready " for the act, triggering an " instinctive " arrousal, even if it's a bit different than what we call " libido/desire "
It's possible that it would give some slight libido because of the association. But there is big difference between your erection sending a signal to your brain about sex than your brain sending the signal to your penis to make it erect. Two very different things in my opinion.
Definitely good to have blood flow. It's also good to use viagra just for re-assure yourself that accutane induced sexual dysfunction is not caused by damage to the penis as some people have suggested (makes no sense).

It did partially increase my desire mentally to have sex to a defree I haven’t felt in a while. Still I do think it was mostly just what you said: the erection.

This is all I can find:
On PH, a poster quoted someone from acne.org (the link just goes to first page - so I don't know where it is).
Repairing the long-term damage from Accutane
-It may be on page 248.
"hello guys,
i would like to share my success story with you.I was suffering from chronic low libido which i am sure was caused by accutane.I experienced complete absence of sexual sensation on my genitals and as a result erectile dysfunction and difficulty having an orgasm.After i stopped taking accutane my symptoms strangely got worse as the time passed instead of improving.I tried various things to reverse my libido loss such as healthy diet,some drugs that were supposed to help improve libido, but nothing worked.I then found a report in the internet about dr. Pezzi who has written the book ''the science of sex'' and claimed that he reversed his libido loss caused by accutane by taking the drug finasteride.I was determined to find a solution to my problem so i decided to try it.I began taking 1mg/day and then slowly increased to 5mg/day.I took it for a total of 5 months.During that time i started experiencing a return of my acne which was accompanied by a small increase in libido and a slight return of sexual sensation.I continued taking it as long as i noticed some positive effects.The big surprise happened when i decided to stop taking the drug.I experienced a huge increase in libido,sexual sensation and acne.My spontaneous and morning erections which were gone since i had taken accutane came back and i no longer had problems reaching an orgasm.I don't know what exactly this drug did to my system but it worked.6 months have passed since i stopped taking finasteride and i still experience all the positive effects,so i believe the effects are permanent.I now feel like a normal man of my age(i am 28 years old).The only side effect i had was the return of acne but i believe that has to do with the return of my libido but i prefer having acne and a healthy libido than having no acne and no libido."

Most of the guys just did a low dose, tapering up, then taping down. Recoveries used the following amounts;
- Idontknow1993 (full recovery after 1 cycle)
[5mg pill] I took a half pill 10 days then 10 days a full pill and for 5 days a quarter
- Dimmer (full recovery after 1 cycle)
I began taking 1mg/day and then slowly increased to 5mg/day.I took it for a total of 5 months.
- Dr Pezzi (full recovery but took for a long time)
(User Paulo) Which dosage did you take of this drug?
(pezzi) About 1.5 mg (a 5 mg pill cut in thirds, with some slight waste).
About how long per cycle did you take finasteride before stopping?
A few years. It's been so long I can't recall exactly. Likely about 2 to 2.5 years, maybe 3.
- GoldenW (full recovery)
- Namelk (partial recovery of sexual sides)
I took 2 mg in the first 3 days, today and yesterday I took 3 mg, I will keep this until the seventh day and increase to 4 mg
then on the tenth day I intend to take 5 mg for 10 days in a row and then I will start to gradually decrease for another 8 to 10 days
I intend to take finasteride for 28 to 30 days
@cnb30 Where did you get your finasteride from? I think it's time I think seriously about giving this a go, maybe this summer.

Hey guys, After only one pill, I can feel some of my psychological issues which I have been able to overcome creeping back, so I’m heasitant to continue.In some ways I’ve treasured this sense of wellbeing which I’ve had almost more than my libido, so unless somebody on here can prove that your situation can be improved, I’m heasitant to continue.
@cnb30 why did you purchase the pills if you didn't think the situation could improve with them ?
Some got cured with it, that's a fact, your situation can improve with it, but that's not a safe bet.. Finasteride is a terrible drug and there's no guarantee at all
You're supposed to feel better after the finasteride cycle, not during so if anything this is a good sign

He purchased the pills because he thought he might improve, but hes scared it might fire back, why are you berating him for reporting a situation even you know nothing about.
@cnb30 bro ultimately no one knows the exact chemistry. as @vicecaz said there have been recoveries and the only way to find out is to follow through and see what happens.
Also everybody felt better after stopping the fin, so if you think you can finish this regimen we might find some good information. None of us want you to get worse though, so if you are sure you are feeling bad because of the fin no one will blame you for stopping.
As for me, I have tried RU 2 times and had very slight improvement after the second time. Then I tried LDN for 5 days which did nothing at all. THis #$%^&*( PAS seems to be so much harder to treat than PFS. I really recommend PAS people to try out RU, we NEED information. When we have something, we can start approaching doctors also to find out exactly how RU ( or any other drug that did or didnt work ) interacts with us.
Does anyone know why this Dr Pezzi started fin. How did he come to the conclusion that fin would help him after falling into PAS? Since he is an MD, he has much much more knowledge about body chemistry than us.Unless he's just lying about this whole thing, he had to have deducted a pathway about how fin will reverse PAS. I can't believe an MD would just up and take fin hoping poison kills poison.
