Hello, guys! I have been struggling to remain on my reboot for more than 10 days at most and 5 days on average for a long long time now. Therefore I thought of an idea - killing my libido temporarily untill I do at least 30 days or maybe 60 days hard reboot. However, I was wondering in anyone here would have any experience doing this trick and some advices in implementing it?
A lot of antidepressants kill your libido but then you’ll become dependant on them. I couldn’t find many herbal remedies, maybe 5HTP would help a bit. My acting out isn’t always based around my libido though and it more of a way of escaping bad feelings. Cold showers give a dopamine release and can change your frame of mind sometimes
When I was younger I tried to "kill" it with self medication... It was NOT a good idea! In more recent times I've read some food and supplements can help to moderate it, but it's necessary to investigate if them have any interactions with medications you're taking or medical conditions you have. I strongly suggest you to consult a doctor before taking any supplements. What I read are: Hops Licorice Camphor essential oil Marjoram essential oil Peppermint tea Chaste tree berries Saw Palmetto berries Soy Cucumber But I don't know what doses are recommended. Also, I DON'T KNOW IF THEY REALLY WORK! Currently I eat 1/2 cucumber when I've urges and it seems it can be helpful, BUT I don't know if it's real or only placebo effect! Regarding antidepressants, their effects varies depending on substance, dose, and how each person reacts. I take them. They don't make you dependent!, it's only they must be left gradually, but in fact it's possible to stop taking them. Antidepressants have specific uses and always must be indicated and monitored by a doctor. Best wishes
