    Hey guys,
    I am going into day 8 an am wondering what kind of mood swings I may expect. I have heard that testosterone spikes around day 7. I have not yet had ahy urges which I couldn't quickly dismiss, but I have been a bit surly & resentful toward my wife. This may have a lot more to do with my marital issues (of which there are many), but I'm wondering what kind of effect nofap may have on my moods.

    Well I'm sure that it will cause some mood swings but if you have enough self control to go 8 days without fapping then you can make it through the mood swings. I still cannot make it to 2 days without fapping, although I don't watch porn. If I can develop enough self control to defeat the urge then mood swings won't be much of a problem for me to endure.

    I am using ephedrine+caffeine as a stimulant during the day and it kills my libido but it causes mood swings but I have gotten used to them. And it's really just a temporary fix, substituting on dopamine stimulator for another. But I know it's not a long term solution. I am un-married right now and I've got a girlfriend but we go to seperate colleges so since I don't see her much I don't have to deal with the mood swings affecting my relationship.

    But good luck man, not giving into the urges is the hardest part and you are succeeding so far!
