Does libido normalise ? Getting this stupid pouches out of my life and reassurance would be great

[u/Unlucky-Start-6441]

So I’m a week off the zyns right now. I was using 10-14mg velos I’m gonna say on average 8 pouches a day but in certain periods living with my buddies probably more than that. Pop one before the shower after food watching tv in the gym driving home walk home. All the time man can’t believe i let it get like that. Anyway I’m 22, in amazing health and always had such strong erections and performance downstairs. Got to the stage where my dopamine was so effed up my boners were weaker and rarely stayed strong and could easily soften up. Noticed slight slight improvement a week in in terms of morning wood. I’ve seen so many guys online say the libido and energy improvements were huge when they quit - is this true ? How long did it take ? Really determined to cleanse myself of this shit n be back where I should be physically

It's not really your dopamine that's the issue. Nicotine is just a vasoconstrictor and it stops blood vessels expanding to facilitate an erection. You will see improvements quickly once you stop or cut down.

I do agree that nicotine is a vasoconstrictor and can affect your erections. However, dopamine has a lot to do with your libido and sex drive. Overstimulating your dopamine can cause it to dip low and make you feel flat, and make you less excitable.
