Hi all,
First, it's a relief to have found this forum and read your experiences, symptoms, and recovery stories. This is my first post and I'm grateful for your input.
I quit using prescription stimulants a few months ago after years of use. In addition to feeling fatigued, demotivated, anxious (at times), depressed (at times), there's one other symptom that has emerged and I haven't found much discussion of: erectile dysfunction and lowered libido after quitting.
Since quitting, I'm having a difficult time achieving and maintaining a solid erection. I want to physically desire to have sex, yet that feeling and physical desire just aren't there. There could be a few other factors at play. For example, I also stopped watching porn around the time I quit stimulants, for I didn't like the habits I had developed (the amount of porn I was watching, the 'types' of porn I was watching for excitement, and the frequency and amount of time I would spend masturbating).
Have any other guys experienced this?
Part of me is wondering whether I caused physical damage to myself while neglecting my wellbeing on stimulants and, yes, I do plan to see a urologist.
Thanks,
