Tongkat Ali

Posted by Chairman_MAO on June 20, 2005, at 15:39:44

I bought some 100:1 extract from beyond-a-century, and am trying 500mg/day 5 days on, 2 days off. This is day three, and I think I am starting to feel an effect. It waned later in the day, though, so I am going to split it up and dose bid. The effect was mostly increased desire, and some increased sensation. Let's hope this keeps going! If so, it would be a great synergy with dopaminergic drugs (mostly for men, though women can take it at 50mg/day). Has anyone else had experience with a tongkat ali extract? I am not sure if BAC is the best source, and there are a lot of fakes on the market. 1fast400.com also carries it. Anyone else interested in giving it a try? Look on scholar.google.com or pubmed for supporting studies, or just in google.

I take Nardil 90mg/day
buprenorphine 16mg/day
cabergoline 2mg/day

The cabergoline formerly was enough, but I had to keep escalating the dose, and now it just gives me a great AD effect but only a so-so prosexual effect. Anorgasmia is a real bummer, as buprenorphine can cause it as well as the Nardil! Opioids inhibit GnRH, which is essential for proper sexual functioning. I'm hoping that Tongkat Ali will increase T production to help that out.

If not, it's on to amantadine or a more potent androgen ...

That's "Long Jack" right? I've tried it but it's possible I got some dirt weed version of it. How would you know? In any event it did nothing noticable at all. I'm using testosterone patches now and I still don't have much increase in desire, no help with anorgasmia either. I have packed on some muscle without really working too hard so that's nice.

I tried Tongkat Ali about 8 months ago to help with low sex drive. I did notice mild increases in desire, HOWEVER I broke out in Acne all over my face. I havent taken it now for 6 months and still have a patch of Acne on my face. Im in my mid twenties so I may be more sensitive to that side effect thatn others.
