Guest guest Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 My urologist prescribed Clomid to take daily (25mgs) until my next office visit (4 weeks) to see how I respond. I'm still suffering from a slew of side effects from SP extract such as: -lack of morning/spontaneous erections -genital numbness -ED -low ejaculate, very thick, no pressure -penile tissue changes -very low libido -depression -fatigue/low engegy -eye floaters -muscle loss/unable to gain further muscle -bony fingers -dry/brittle hair I was able to have sex WITHOUT Viagra the last 3 weekends, and even though I felt like I was losing my erection at times, I was able to finish without losing it entirely. I just don't have the lust/desire I used to have. Erections don't feel 100% and lack size/girth (hopefully not fibrosis/shrinkage). I'm getting bloodwork done this week before starting Clomid as I haven't got tests done since March, but at least I don't feel like I'm dying like I did back in Feb-April. I've gained some weight back and my face looks a little better (at my worst I weighed 162, now up to 168), but I'm still far from my former self (175-180). My shoulders used to be broad and had thick calves, now my wrists are skinny and have a narrow body. I still have the same strength in the gym and continue working out 2- 3 times a week (weights, cardio). Groin pain has gone away and sleep is getting better (was able to sleep in for the first time in ages). I had low T before this so my system must've been extremely fragile from the get-go as I'm 27 but can barely grow any facial hair and have very little body hair except on my legs (which diminished drastically, especially on my thighs, after stopping SP). My hair was thinning though and I assume my scalp was more prone to DHT even though it was probably low. However, I was able to develop muscle easily despite a T of 428 (pre-SP) and had morningwood daily, but libido was poor throughout most of my life (Paxil wiped most of it out, but now it's nill after SP). I even had grey pubic hair on my scrotum in my 20s, and this was before Saw Palmetto. I'm pretty sure that's not normal. I know my dad has lowish T as well (he's not on TRT though). I know ADs can lower T levels and since I took them starting at the age of 19 it could've affected my development/maturity. It's a giant question mark but I'm clearly astonished to the way I recated after only 9 days of SP extract. I just want to return to some sort of normalcy. I was going to try Sustain Alpha but rather follow a Doctor's advice (and script) and see if Clomid will help my situation instead. I probably should've been on some sort of T booster (before SP obviously) as I had no idea why my libido was so low, but this has been an eye-opening experience and helps explain why I had low libido most of my life since I never knew much about hormones until now. Too bad a tragic experience made me reailize why unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
