cannabis impotence

[BFB]

When it comes to any medication there will always be some who genuinely need them and some who don’t and even then it’s a personal choice as to whether you want to take them or can live with the side effects, I totally understand the point you are making the drug companies would have you believe that almost everybody should be using their product, just like any other company that has something to sell, but like you say do your research and make up your own mind. What you are saying may be true for many, but as with anything I think the main thing to remember is that it doesn’t necessarily apply to everybody. I think it’s a fair enough point as long as you keep that in mind, not that I am telling you, that’s just my suggestion and way I see it. I appreciate whether or not to take medication is a very personal thing and everybody has a different opinion. I respect however it is that different people feel about it.

the thing is i never actually got hold of genuine viagra, the doctor wouldnt give it to me, so i orderd the generic version off the internet, its ridiculously cheap. i know im risking my life but if i cant have sex i dont really want to live to be honest. no womans going to want me if i cant get it up, whats more its embaresseing and i dont want anyone finding out.

Yeah you do have to be careful ordering drugs of the internet, you don’t necessarily know what you are getting, it’s a sign of how desperate you must feel I guess, It must be so tough, this is the thing with drugs that are not necessarily lethal or considered to be “safer” they can really mess up your life in many other ways, something so many of us here have experienced to differing extents, still like I say try not to rule anything out I still think you have a chance of recovering.

I just did a quick Google on cannabis in regards to impotence and found the following:

Ok man if you're still reading this, listen up.

You CAN'T not talk about this, you need to communicate your problem to get it solved. I have the same shit man, I smoked and now everything's terrible for me too. I went through the same boughts of suicide and self loathing, but eventually I just went ahead and told some people. I'm on my way to the doctor in a few days.

Go back to the doc, make him take you seriously. You have a serious medical condition, and you and others should treat it as such. Try REAL viagra or other PDE5 inhibitors, you're probs eating sawdust off of an Indian manufacturing plant. Also, look in to cabergoline. It's a dopamine agonist and greatly lowers levels of prolactin. It should send your sex drive through the roof, read up man. It'll help with depression too, another side effect pot has left me with. Herbal stuff is usually a no go and can even be quite dangerous, but taking L-Arginine can help you out, it helped me a little. It acts along the same pathways as viagra, but in a different way. Viagra inhibits the PDE5 enzyme witch breaks down Nitric Oxide (NO) in your blood. Increased NO levels in your blood relax blood vessels and calm the smooth muscle in your body. The more NO you've got circulating, the easier it is to get an erection. L-Arginine doesn't inhibit the enzyme; instead it plays a role in the formation of NO in your body, leading to that increased NO content.

Man, just hang in there. There IS a solution, even if in the end you have to get implants. The problem will get solved if you pursue it.

Stay strong.

When I was about 19 years old I quit marijuana for a year and half or so. During the first few months of withdrawal, I had constant pains in my testicle area. Every time I laughed or coughed I would feel the pain. I also did not have much sexual desire at all.

This scared the crap out of me, and finally after saving up some money I went to go see a doctor. I honestly thought I had testicular cancer.

I got my results shortly after and my doc could not explain my issues at all. Everything was good.

In due time, the problem went away. I know deep down inside it had to do with marijuana use.

Also, that time when I did quit, it was the first time in who knows how many years. I am on day 23 now and I have no issues like that before. But I wanted to share my story because I know how this kind of issue can scare the crap out of you.
I hope like myself, your problem will go away in due time. But going to a doctor will help because the results can calm your nerves, or help you get treatment if you need it.

Best wishes.

Hi unregistered, just because you're not aware of any psychological issues doesn't mean that there aren't underlying subcoscious things that could be affecting you.

I'm not saying your problem is definitely psychological, but from what you said in one of your previous posts it sounds like it is to me. In that you were fine for a while then lost your erection.

I have years of experience of erectile dysfunction and know only too well how it can totally crush your spirit, it was one of the reasons I started to abuse weed. If you can get your doc to give you anything give Cialis a try, I've used it and found it had none of the unpleasant side affects of Viagra and lasts MUCH longer.

Hypnotherapy could be a very good way to discover if you have any subconscious things going on.

I just stumbled across this forum and found this thread - I think I can help. I know exactly what the OP is talking about, and the thing that worked for me was GNC prostate formula. Turns out my prostate was exhausted from constant marijuana use + sexual activity. Stop sexual activity and take the GNC prostate formula and you might start feeling 100% again down there. Worked for me (After trying seemingly EVERYTHING else, including seeing a doctor who couldn't tell me what the problem was!). Good luck!

hi everyone, im the one that origonally started this post, its been 4 months since i quit and still i have erectile dysfunction with no improvements, i nearlly gave in the other day and had a bong but i decided ive gone this long without it, if theres no improvements with my erections in 2 years then i think im really gonna be suffering serious depression, the reason i quit weed was coz of the E.D. viagra works well but i dont want to have to plan sex all the time it takes the enjoyment out of it, i cant exactly go on holiday for a lads week and pull loads of girls because i'd need to hav my viagra, and i cant go to partys and have spontanious sex because i'd need to hav viagra, this whole thing is a fukin nightmare, the doctors dont know why there isnt any improvements, my G.P spoke to a urologist for me recetly and he said i should take cialis everyday for 2 months to train myself and go through a rehabillitation (cialis is the same as viagra but it lasts about 24 hours) he said if theres no improvements after then, he will book me an appointment to see if its a physical problem, i am starting to think its not down to cannabis, i know people that have been smoking longer than me and they smoke alot more than me and they have never had E.D. its completely unheard of, the only thing that has been heard of is loss of sex after quitting weed, but i had my E.D while i was smoking weed i just couldnt quit because i needed the weed to cope with being impotent, it was a vicious circle, the weed helped me cope, but was apparently making the E.D worse by causing a phycological impotence (apparently). i really dont see this getting better, its completely dead down there unless i take viagra, im finding it hard to belive it is related to all the cannabis i used to smoke because with phycological impotence, u still have erections when u wake up in the morning and at night, i dont have either and it somtimes feels cold down there. doctors really are a bunch of assholes, because ive had so many different problems related to cannabis in my life, they assume the impotence must be related to cannabis. i really dont think it is.

Hi again

I am so sorry to hear things have not improved, it does sound like it is indeed difficult to know what the cause is with something like this especially if it is psychological, although it doesn’t sound like your doctors are that sure either way either, as to whether it’s cannabis related is again perhaps something that none of us can really answer, some people can experience some pretty rare side effects that most don’t, you only have to read some of the experiences here to realize the list of side effects can be vast and fairly diverse, just because the vast majority of people don’t experience it doesn’t mean that some people can’t even if it is the very few, that said it doesn’t mean that it is the cannabis either, sorry I am probably just stating the obvious here, it’s all part of the b*tch of not being able to diagnose what the feck the cause actually is, it must be absolutely awful you must be going out of your mind, I really do feel for you. I have read a bit of stuff linking cannabis to impotence and infertility and have already posted links to some of the stuff I have found, but unfortunately it still doesn’t answer whether this is the case for you, I just wish we could be a bit more help. There is still the possibility that it is something physical so that may well be something that needs to be invested, you mention that it feels cold down there, is there perhaps a possibility that there is some kind of circulation issue? I don’t know I am just hypothesizing, but some kind of physical investigation may be a good idea, like I say I just wish we could be of more help. As bleak as it looks right now there are still other things to investigate, still other courses of action, try to stay as positive as possible, the way things are at the moment isn’t necessarily how things are going to be forever, try to hold onto that notion as much as possible.

Take care, thanks for keeping us posted and please continue to do so.

In sincere empathy.
