Patient's question:
I have been experiencing neurasthenia, premature ejaculation, lower back pain, dizziness, and excessive sweating. Two days ago, I took Guilu Shenkang Pills to alleviate the neurasthenia. The instructions said to take it twice a day, one to two bags each time. So, I bought it and took two bags an hour before bed, along with 10 pills of Guipi Pills, calcium carbonate, and vitamin B2. After taking them, I felt very sleepy right away. However, later that night, I had to urinate around 1 a.m., but only a small amount came out. Once I got into bed, I had no sense of sleepiness at all, and I didn't sleep until morning. Isn't Guilu Shenkang Pills supposed to treat neurasthenia? Did I take too much, or is there another reason? I used to take Guilu Erxian San as well, and after a period of time, the neurasthenia returned. I have also been drinking goji berry tea. Recently, I have been drinking goji berry tea and nothing else, but even after drinking it, I haven't had much libido because of the goji berries.Doctor's answer:
