Anyone experience ED after using Saw Palmetto?

I developed PFS (post finasteride syndrome) from taking finasteride for hair loss for about 24 months. I got off the drug over 3 years ago and I still have permanent sexual dysfunction, genital numbness, anhedonia, no motivation, executive function, extreme brain fog and memory problems. I am an entirely different person than i used to be. Absolutely devastating, I also became infertile from that drug and I am only 32 and unmarried. This started when I was 28. I am also a pharmacist now (I was about to start school when I developed side effects that never went away. I am good friends with an anesthesiologist who developed this same permanent condition just from taking saw palmetto for a few months. He has been suffering for almost 5 years.

I’ve been to tons of drs and none were able to help. One of them did deep tissue massage on my pelvic floor through the anus and it was hell that pain was terrible but it loosened up the tensed muscles a lot. The last dr I seen was a urologist and he recommended cialis 5mg daily and it slowly but surely started bringing the feeling and erection back. I can personally tell you that my penis was smaller than my normal size when I had all that pain. The cialis helped and continues to help. I am now 37 but I’ve been dealing with this for a few years
