Hi all, I've been a reader of this forum for quite a while but have only just signed up. I've tried to read as many threads as I can on this subject, but would like some personal advice if anyone gets the time.
I'm 26 and have had PE for a few years now, I believe it has been caused by partying (taking ecstasy) and using a lot of pre-workout supplements. I'm not 100% sure these are the cause, but I can never remember having PE before I stared taking both these things. I quit both of these things about 6 months ago, but I still have PE.
I read a thread on another forum about a guy who had a similar situation to me, he used ecstasy and developed PE, but cured it by taking Melatonin at night before bed. This lowered his norepinephrine (confirmed via tests). I decided to give that a go, and for the past 5 weeks I've been taking Vitamin B6 and 5HTP, and then Melatonin before bed. What I've noticed is that my libido and erections have been fantastic since taking these supplements AND I've noticed improvements with PE - nothing major, but it definitely feels easier to 'control', I'm not shooting straight to the PONR within 5 seconds like I used to. So I wasn't cured, but the most improved in years.
However, for as long as I can remember I've had really low energy, especially in the afternoons. I went to see a naturopath about this and she told me it sounds like my adrenal glands are not performing right, most likely due to taking all the stimulants I used to take. She suggested I need to 'feed' my adrenals (with herbs or minerals). So from her advice I started taking Rhodiola, and my energy was amazing! However, within a few days my erection quality and libido dropped dramatically, and my PE became worse again. I stopped taking the Rhodiola and my EQ and libido returned to normal. My naturopath then suggested taking Himalayan salt in water first thing in the morning for my adrenal glands, it sounds weird - but it worked, my energy skyrocketed again, BUT my libido/EQ/PE all suffered again.
I'm not an expert on neurotransmitters, but does this sound like my adrenals are producing high amounts of norepinephrine when I 'feed' them? which is then causing bad PE and low erection quality? Or can anyone shed some light on what might be happening?It seems that I can't get a right balance of normal energy, normal erection and no PE. Ultimately the first thing I want to fix is my PE.
Thank you to anyone who takes the time to read this.
Hopefully I've put this in the right section!
And just want to add, I'm getting some tests done (neurotransmitter test, metabolic profile test), it's just that they're expensive in Australia so I have to wait a couple of weeks. I thought I'd ask on here first. I've had hormones tested and all are in 'normal' range according to the specialist.
