Quitting Fadogia Agrestis

Experience

I am a healthy 20 year old male.

Within the past two years, I’ve had my bloodwork taken twice. My total testosterone levels came back as 1,143ng/dL and 971ng/dL, respectively.

These results are on the high-end range for my age bracket.

Despite this, I heard about Fadogia Agrestis and Tongkat Ali through the Huberman Lab podcast and got greedy. I’ve been alternating Fadogia Agrestis (Barlow’s) and Tongkat Ali (Nootropics Depot) nearly daily for the past 18 months.

Reading further into the side effects and potential for toxicity, I have decided I want to quit them.

I went cold turkey for about three weeks and experienced a gigantic drop in libido. I was unable to maintain an erection 9/10 times, which has never been a problem for me before.

Since then, I’ve been taking FA about once every four days. This seems to be a level to which I can immediately return to normal sexual function, but limit the risk of leydig and kidney damage.

TL;DR:

  1. There is little information online about the impact of quitting Fadogia Agrestis. Please consider this before starting usage.

  2. I think I’ve made a mistake with trying this supplement, and really would like to get off of it without impairing sexual function. Advice and anecdotes are welcome.
