I've been having anxiety issues so I started taking a supplement called "Teen Link". Here is the supplement in question so you can see exactly what materials are in it and such:
- 5-HTP- elevates serotonin production in the brain. Serotonin is a key neurotransmitter that supports focus, uplifts mood, reduces aggression and the craving for alcohol and carbohydrates.†
- Tyrosine - the depression amino acid and the precursor to dopamine and norepinephrine
- GABA- the anxiety amino acid†
- Glutamine- for concentration and memory†
- Taurine- for normal nerve transmission†
- B6- a required cofactor needed to activate any amino acid†
It has helped with REM sleep and such. However, my erections are HORRIBLE now. They are extremely weak and pretty much useless. I would never be able to have sex with such soft erections. Before I started taking this supplement they were fine! I am in my early 20's. I stopped taking it for about two days but they haven't returned to normal yet (I am still getting deep REM sleep so I assume that the materials in this supplement are still in amy body). I am wondering if they culprit is possibly the 5-HTP contained in this? Will my sex drive go back to normal (solid erections) or did I ruin myself for the rest of my life by taking this?! I feel like I am going insane just thinking about the fact that I might have caused irreversible damage to myself.
