I am debating if I need to improve my sleep before continuing my cycle. Not sure yet but I might have to take Ella in the morning too. [mention]TubZy[/mention] that explains the energy surge and warm feeling.

 

[TubZy]

I took it much longer than you guys and a few higher doses too. For me, the constant alert type feeling took over a week after stopping RU to finally come down somewhat. It was annoying and yeah my sleep was kind of shitty while on RU, I just switched my dosage to the morning and that helped much better. Even from that RU cycle Im above baseline especially libido wise

[mention]TubZy[/mention] good to hear you're still above baseline! Did you start seeing improvements in libido only during the snapback or also before? That's the thing I'm still missing most

 

[aztec]

Good stuff [mention]TubZy[/mention]! That is awesome to hear.

I felt great from day 2 to about day 5 while on. They I felt like crap on day 6 and 7 which is why I think I overdid it. It took over a week since ceasing it to notice anything because I still felt extremely wired even off of it.

Update: just took my 5th dose. Yesterday was pretty good, but the excess energy/adrenaline feeling seems to have subsided. Still no morning wood, no noteworthy improvement in boner quality and still can't get hard just by thinking of sex or looking at porn without helping a little. Sensitivity has improved slightly but seemed to go back to baseline after fapping yesterday (I just had to test it lol). I'll do nofap for the rest of my trial and see if it comes back.

Just a question, why not ejaculating should help AND NOT THE OPPOSITE?
I don't get it.

[mention]wuf[/mention] tbh I'm not sure, I just know that orgasms raise prolactin which is not beneficial to libido as far as I know. Maybe [mention]gbolduev[/mention] can shed some more light on the exact mechanisms?

What you claim can be right, but in the long run I think playng with your friend can help him to recover and remember how to be strong again..kind of excercise...(this is my fantasy and not based on any study or reading, just my opinion).

 

[barbaar]

[mention]wuf[/mention] You may have a point there, but I always noticed my almost nonexistent libido completely disappeared for a while if I went overboard with the fapping. It also screws with my boner quality, which isn't great already. There's probably an ideal frequency, but what that is depends on the person I guess.

I will try to avoid then and see what happens.
Thanks

Update: Today is my last day on Ella! Last night the energetic feeling came back and made it very difficult to fall asleep. Not a good combination when you need to be up early for morning classes. Oh well. At least I woke up with morning wood for the first time since forever! It wasn't the best quality, still kinda floppy-ish but hey, it's something. Still no convincing improvements in libido, but I'm going to do nofap for a while now to see if that improves.

[mention]barbaar[/mention] I am glad you are doing okay. Sounds like you are making progress. Did you have aching knees or muscle soreness in your legs? How is your mood? How are your energy levels?

 

[barbaar]

[mention]aztec[/mention] No aching knees or any soreness to report. My energy levels go up and down quite a bit, I have no idea why. Sensitivity is definitely going up though, so something is happening. Mood could be better, I was feeling a little on edge today and wanted to avoid people, but that's not really a new thing for me so I dunno. So far my mood on the third day has been the best by far. I felt motivated, which is really rare for me, and had tons of energy. I hope that returns!

 

[aztec]

[mention]barbaar[/mention] that is good news pal. It sounds like Ella is responding positively to you. I still feel some excess energy from the single dose haha! I was shocked of how potent Ella is.

 

[Jaxx]

i had a bit of a simular reaction on meds that worked on noradrenaline (bupropion, nortriptyline) but most effects wore off quite fast too (days, to a week)

 

[IHateFin]

Ella is stronger than I thought! Happy to hear, man!! The snap back is when the magic happens so the next week will be LIT!

 

[barbaar]

[mention]Jaxx[/mention] bupropion was the first thing I tried after getting pssd, and I definitely had the same experience. I felt super wired and sharp for a few days, and could function on very little sleep. That didn't last though, and for the rest of the time I was on it I was even more of a robot than normal (No emotions, no pleasure, do nothing but work/study). 0/10 would not recommend.

[mention]aztec[/mention] I hope so! Has the soreness subsided for you?

[mention]IHateFin[/mention] I'll keep you guys updated if anything interesting happens during the snapback. I hope you're right and it'll be LIT AF BOIIII :lol:

 

[aztec]

[mention]barbaar[/mention] yes, muscle soreness is gone and I am feeling more relaxed at the moment.

 

[aztec]

[mention]barbaar[/mention] good morning! Any new updates? How are you doing?
