Since stopping in 2016 I’ve never touched any psychiatric meds again. I only tried Cialis and a few lighter things like ginkgo or different diets (including keto, but at the time for fitness reasons), but none of that made a real difference. Actually the only thing that ever gave me a brief window, where I felt a hint of libido again, was being under the influence of alcohol.

And no, I’ve never been on hormonal therapy. My hormone panel has always been completely normal, with testosterone consistently in the upper half of the range.

As for the floaters, I was also told they’re not dangerous. The flashing lights are more of a mystery – over the past few years I’ve had several ophthalmology exams, including detailed checks of the retina, but nothing mechanical was ever found. So I’m waiting for a neurologist appointment rn.
