Just Some Thoughts On Libido

[bullmastiff]

I think the issue of libido is quite complicated. There seems to be some consensus that it is related to dopamine. I read these posts where guys are on TRT and their libido does not go up. Than their told to regulate their E2 and their libido still does not go up. I tried the androgel route and my Total T and free T were pretty good and my E2 was normal and my libido did not go up.

Personally I've had better results with drugs that affect dopamine. I've found that 5 - 10 milligrams of selegiline has had a good affect on my libido and sometimes I've combined that with phenylalanine. I've also found that when I'm on ritalin my libido goes up. I believe that ritalin affects dopamine release.

One summer several years ago I put together a cocktail of selegiline + phenylalanine + low dose t3 + .25 mg arimidex eod. I was not on any type of testosterone supplementation. My libido was sky high while i was on that combo. I felt good and also had a lot of energy.

do you stay on selegeline year round? does it lose it's effectiveness?

You can stay on selegiline year round. Judge by how you feel. Some find that they can reduce the dose as time goes by.

Have you continued this, or did you stop for some reason?
