Just wondering if anyone has had success using this herb to increase libido, and if so, which brand did/do you take and at what doses? Thanks!

I have been taking Ginko for one month now 120 mgs 3 times a day, I used the Walgreen's brand. I'm a 47 year old male, and i'm on Parnate. No doubt about it, Ginko really works for ME. My experience has been big time increase in libido, much harder and fuller erections, and the ability to orgasm..before I couldn't. Oh yea, my wife likes it too..:).Tyler

Awesome! So you don't think 360 mg. is too much? I'm taking 240 right now...and so far, I've only noticed a very slight difference. I would like to increase, as long as it's safe to do so. Thanks!

Tyler: do you take it on an empty stomach or with food? The bottle says to take with meals "or as directed by a physician". But I've always heard that it's most effective on an empty stomach. What do you think? Thanks!

I've done both and I don't notice a difference either way. Now, I always take with at least a little food (as the bottles directions indicate)
Maybe a 1/2 banana or a slice of bread. I think the manufacturer say's to take w/ food to avoid stomache irritation..good luck!Tyler

It sounds to me like what youre experiencing is a side effect of Parnate and not from ginkgo. It is common for Parnate to increase libido and sexual function (my libido was through the roof on Parnate), whereas i have never heard of such profound sexual effects from ginkgo. i personally never felt anything from ginkgo after three seperate, higher-end-dose trials.
Which did you start first?
Anyway, sorry. But hey, either way at least you're in a good place.

However when I was on Parnate before 9 yrs. ago this didn't happen...I really do think the ginko is helping some. I started taking them both 1 mo. ago. But like you said who cares, as long as somethings working. :)
