Guest guest Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 I posted before, but did not see it show up, so I will try again. New to the forum. I think that I might have a testosterone/estrogen imbalance. I am 55, and took Zoloft for about 6/7 years, I really can't recall just when I started. Anyways, I stopped cold turkey back in September of last year. I started noticing sexual side effects the last couple of years I was on it, and tried to stop a few times, but the withdrawal was shear hell. But I finally did withdraw and suffered from the symptoms for a good 5 weeks. Anyways, I got ED real bad after stopping. My libido is low as well. I was prescribed Viagra, and this worked just fine for a few months. But then suddenly, it stopped working for me. I belong to another forum, SSRI Medication, and read somewhere to take DIM Plus. So I went through a bottle. And low and behold, the Viagra started working again. But about a month or so, it stopped again. I got my testosterone level checked a few weeks ago, and the result showed my level to be around 340. The doctor said this was normal, and that I would not need any TRT treatment. I just recently started DIM again, and I am taking Zinc with copper in addition, so I shall see. But someone on the other forum said that my level is probably too low. I am pretty healthy, and would like to get my libido back, and maybe not have to rely on Viagra. But I don't know how much is due to my age, and how much is due to taking the SSRI drug. Any feedback would be appreciated. All I know, is I used to have a real healthy libido, but I am 55 and don't know if this is a natural consequence of my age. Thanks for listening.
