Sorry in advance for a semi-long post. Will post a TLDR at the end.
So I have had a history of high e2 and high prolactin and I was convinced this was the cause of my ED. I just got my most recent test results back and both are in good/normal range! (finally)
My problem is I still have ED...even with Cialis daily at 5-10mg. My ED is better with Cialis than without but it's more like I have to force something to happen like a chore instead of something I want to do that comes easily. My libido is pretty good considering everything... but ED kind of hampers that obviously.
The past 8-9 days I have made a discovery that is quite puzzling and I can't seem to make sense of it. I have been using an over the counter "fat loss stack" containing:
Synephrine
Green Tea Extract (EGCG)
Chromium
Started using this stack since around April 9-10th if I remember right except for days I lift weights (once every 4-5 days) I take a pre-workout instead those days because it is not recommended to use other stimulants with my fat loss stack. Anyways, on the days I take my fat loss stack my ED is completely non-existant and I am in "heaven" for lack of a better term for about 4-6 hours. Every time the wind blows or any female walks by I am "standing tall" almost instantly without getting to graphic
. It is the best I have felt and been able to function in years, and possibly ever in my entire life. This is obviously not sustainable because I do not want to take stimulants my entire life and it wears off in 4-6 hours...also not a night time friendly thing to take unless I don't want to sleep all night lol.
My question is, does this make any sense? When I looked up Synephrine and ED it is actually used to STOP Priapism?!?! And obviously no data to support it helping ED. When I search for stimulants in general helping with ED everything that shows up is the opposite saying it CAUSES ED?! At first I thought there was no way this stack was what was causing this phenomenon for me, but everytime I skip a day of the stack when I lift weights and only take my pre-workout I do not have the desired effect I described above. So I am completely lost and wondering if any of you guys could help me with any info or thoughts on this.
My second question which is separate is what do you guys think of Doxazosin in conjunction with daily Cialis? I have read it is used in Gene's NO stack and that a lot of you guys use it and it helps people when Cialis alone doesn't do the trick. For the past few months I was convinced (due to lab results) that Prolacin and E2 were my problem....but now that they are in normal range and there is still no difference in the ED department I am hell bent on finding a solution because I know there is something out there I can do to help with my problem. From what I have read it helps the "strength" of the erection, which is not really my problem. My erection strength is pretty good, my problem is getting an erection when I need it and to match my libido.
Thanks in advance to all of you guys, I love this forum. I do not post as much as I should but I do check the site daily and when I think my .02 is needed I chime in and I will try to do so more often. Lots of knowledge on this board to say the least. It is good to see people pointing others in the right direction with TRT.
TLDR: Have had ED for years even while on TRT with daily Cialis. Took an over the counter "fat loss stack" and magicly my ED disappears and is cured for 4-6 hours until the stack wears off. Does this make sense? Why is this happening? What are you guys thoughts/experience with Doxazosin with daily Cialis for ED?
