60mgs a day killed my sex drive

hey brahs heres a little context

im a 21 year old 170 lb 5'11 male, at roughly 13% BF, always have been very healthy and athletic, full of energy and loving life with a 8-9/10 sex drive, never had erection problems in my life

took 60mgs of zinc a day for 2 months
the last week of the 2nd month i stopped getting morning wood and made my erections much softer, couldnt even get rock hard even to porn. i didnt realize imediately, but i stopped taking zinc, 10 weeks later, i still have the same problems.

-gave me severe depression/emotional numbness/lost motivation for life/ or entertained by anything, stopped enjoying games/tv shows

-brain fog
-always feeling slow to react to things/ slightly dizzy/disoriented/slow to think

-dry skin,/cleared my skin up completely (normally have eczma or pimples on my face, it cleared my skin up to the point where my skin is so clear i look like im wearing makeup, like my face is white as paper.

- shrunk my dick, (made it less girthy, however it hangs lower than it used to, in like a perpetually semi erect floppy state)
-water retention, (would drink a 1L bottle of water and literally 2-3 hours later will piss it out, as opposed to within the same hour as i would usually

-watery cum/ less volume of cum/premature ejaculation
-joint pains/limp wrists /knees
-muscle twitching
-constipation
-lowered appetite
-anxiety
-problems falling asleep/sleeping through the night/waking up very early

roughly a week ago, i researched too much zinc giving a copper deficiency,i ate cashewnuts/dark chocolate for 6 days and all the symptoms went away and i got my pimples/eczma back on my face and have almost my old energy back.

however, lately (2-3 days ago) my sex drive dropped back to 4/10 as opposed to 10/10 and my erections are back to the weak state even though i have been maintaining the same diet that helped restore my sex drive/energy.

im not sure why the cashew nuts/dark chocolate arent working anymore? i really need help.

>60 mgs a day of isolated zinc
why would you do that, pal?

well as i stated in my post, i have bad skin/eczma. and i read that high dose of zinc can help manage it. also i read it can boost sex drive. im a fucking moron bro, i can admit that, i really feel like my life is over, i am so depressed over this shit. just when i see my self getting better and my sex drive back, it goes away and my flacid dick is mad skinny and floppy.... idk what to do bro.

Not OP but I'm on 50mg zinc, should I stop?

OP here, if ur not zinc deficient, i really dont think you need to be mega dosing your zinc, just get your zinc from steak and other zinc rich foods. if you are going to take 50mgs of zinc atleast balance it out with copper. because i have read too much zinc will deplete ur copper and/or other minerals you need in your body to keep you balanced. if you're not already, add some copper to your stack, just so you dont end up like me.

bump, please someone help me, if anyone has gone through this and fixed them selves i would love to know how you did. i fucking hate life right now guys.

Go to a doctor?
Get bloods done?
Seriously how retarded are you. Get actual medical advice fucktard.

i have, im still waiting on the blood work.

>TFW took 60mg of zinc for a few days to get rid of a cold

Worked wonders.


Op. Zinc pyrithione is what you actually wanted. A primary ingredient in head and shoulders etc. You rub it in and exfoliate with it.

Basically demolished my acne.

thanks brah, i was using it prior to mega dosing my zinc, it worked wonders on my dandruff/dry skin on arms/neck. however didnt do much except inflame my eczma on my face. my eczma is my main annoyance, i get alot of redness on my face. zinc is amazing bro, i been using zinc 30mgs on and off for years and never had any complications like this in my life, im still tryina put the pieces together. thank god most of the side effects have fucked off, except for the sexual dysfunction is still lingering... good to hear your acne is gone though bro, acne kills self esteem baka
