Yes, I've been taking TA. It seems to be working well. In a nutshell, TA works by stimulating the testes to produce more testosterone. Obviously higher testosterone levels lead to increased sexual desire.
Truthfully I had a similiar experience to the what you've described... I used the following combo to get my sex drive back... Actually it set it into overdrive. Beware!
Multi-V (Make sure it has Zinc)
1g L-Tyrosine daily in morning on empty stomach
400-600mg of Tribulus Terrestris dailyOne word of caution... When you supplement with L-Tyrosine for long periods of time, it's a good idea to throw in a serotonin precursor amino acid like 5-HTP or L-Tryptophan in order to avoid unbalanced neurotransmitter levels. After 2-4 weeks of straight Tyrosine supplementation, add either 1g of L-Tryptophan or 100-200mg daily of 5-HTP, but do not take the chosen amino at the same time as the L-Tyrosine as they will wind up competiting with one another to cross the blood brain barrier.
