So my doctor put me on Propranolol (beta-blocker)

So you can probably already tell where this is going

So little sexual interest I love it, I get things done, I'm focused, I see a hot chick and I'm like K. If I'm lucky I'll have one erection a day. But life is bliss right now, don't even want to look at porn, this is so nice.. Going from wanting to 5-7 times a day due to my hyperthyroid to 0 muaahaha I love it. Hopefully there's is no permanent damage, which is why I'm here, I wanted some input from those of you have that have used beta-blockers for an extended time.

did you not want to have a sex drive?

Too strong sex drive leads into sexual desperation, the number one enemy to finding a woman to fvck in the first place. I wouldn't want to feel like having sex every other hour of every day, it's disturbing to getting important things done in life.

@GetFit66 Here's what it does: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_blocker
It reduces anxiety including social anxiety, seems like that's the effect you're noticing. It's said to be a pretty safe substance to use.

My sex drive is low. I can watch porn all day and not get a boner. I am chock full of testosterone. My t level is at about 1000 due to injections. Why is my sex drive so low? I have no clue. I do know that once I start making out with an actual woman my drive increases. I have to have physical presence to desire sex. I do get bored of sex sometimes too. It's funny because I am bored with the women I am ****ing right now. More in the pipeline though.

This could be due to your estrogen levels. They could be too high if you arent taking an AI since you said you were on injections. Have your dr run some bloodwork. Your estrogen level is either too high or if you are on an AI they might be too low.

doesn't matter about actual T levels (thats how much total test, free and bound to SHBG, which cannot be used unless debound), how much free test do you have? How high is your DHT? How high or low is your estrogen?

Idk the doctor does blood work every six weeks and adjusts accordingly. Right now I'm taking a pill for water retention.

Please keep us updated on this. I'm very interested in beta blockers and @dustmuffin 's testosterone stuff. If there's something that's SAFE that I could take to improve my brain function and/or sex stuff, etc. I'd be interested in looking into it

I'll ask my doc about it. I do feel much better with the injections. I get one injection a week. I get weighed everytime for water retention and the blood work every six weeks. It costs me about 160 usd a month with insurance.

Some guys on here buy their own testosterone online and inject themselves. It's cheaper that way but I would rather be under a docs care.
