Guest guest Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Your case is a bite unique but not unheard off. Several people have had developed PSSD some time after SSRI use even though they return to normal. Its is possible that repeatable exposure made you susceptible and the Remrone was the stra that broke your libedos back. Also the chemical reactions that cause PSSD are unique to the individual. I have PSSD caused by Zoloft but for some stange reason Wellibutrin makes thing worse when 30% of people it makes them better. My adivice is to get your testosteron checked and if its a little low, take some Clomide. If its not then take a look into a dopmine agonist. Hoever dopmine agonist (I use Amantadine) produce somewhat unnature sexual function that makes sex more mechanical in nature and can cause more damage to you sexual functional. To date nothing have made me go back to normal over an extended period of time, so I dont knoe if I delayed natural regeneration. Howver, I have had PSSD for 5 years so waiting so my patients is up. I did not take anything for six months after PSSD and had no change, some people did recover but not all like me. As far as the girl friend is concern, if you want to keep her you can take Vagara and have pleasureless erection that will do the job as long as you dont mind being a living breathing vibrator. So that pretty much all your choices. Hope something works for you and one last peievce of advice, stay away from any antidepressent, even Wellbutrine that helped many on this site had caused sexaul dysfunction in others but if you get desperate you might give it a try, taht is if you are sure you have nothing to lose. Hope things work out. > > Hi I'm new to this group. I am now 21 and I have been on and off anti-depressant medication since I was 16. I stopped taking ssris when I was 18. I had been off of meds for three years and my sex function was completely normal. Just about 8 months ago I was prescribed welbutrin. I went off of that and sexually I was normal again. I was then put on parnate. I experienced sexual dysfunction so I quit that. Again sexually I was back to normal. I had been off parnate about two weeks when I started remeron. I was on only 15 mgs starting dose for about a month. I experienced sexual dysfunction on this drug too. Which was surprising to me because I heard that doesn't happen with remeron. I will add that I was worried about getting pssri sexual dysfunction while on remeron because I had read about it. I have now been off of remeron for about 5 weeks and still have the same sexual side effects. I can still function but, my sex drive is diminished as well as sensitivity. Now I'm wondering if I should be worried? it's been 5 weeks but typically on other drugs my full function returned within days. I'm worried because I have just started a relationship with a girl for the 1st time in my life. We have had sex once and I didn't perform like I would expect. My doc says to wait it out but, this problem is causing me distress and I already have enough anxiety. I also am wondering if remoron has caused anyone here post ssri dysfunction? I was hoping someone knowledgeble could give me sone info on my situation. I would really appreciate it. Thank you > - > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 I am thinking about making a visit, as well, to Dr Ducharme, as I live in Philadelphia (about 6 hours driving). But the leader on this stuff is Dr Goldstein and I am thinking about flying out to San Diego to have an appointment with him. After seeing some legit success with my Dostinex trial maybe he can tell me which doses would provide constant results. If I could have the same constant results as I did the other day, while not nearly what I had before, it would be MUCH preferable to what I have been going through, and certainly a bearable way to live. I just cannot live with these ups and downs. When love is the biggest desire in my life, and having PSSD affect this, Its just no way to live. There has to be an answer. -Ben > > > > Hi I'm new to this group. I am now 21 and I have been on and off anti-depressant medication since I was 16. I stopped taking ssris when I was 18.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Will do man. You email me too if you have anything to add. " benjaminrunyan@... " . And that goes out to everyone! I am a firm believer that things will get better for me over time. Maybe not 100% but something livable. I can only speak to what i have regained as of yet. I am 1 year off SSRI's and I have regained: -Morning Erections consistently after losing them -Great orgasms after having full anhedonia in that area -Stronger erections that are more maintable -Erotic dreams I expect more recovery in the coming years. As of right now I am still trying to decide whether or not to take the drug route, or wait it out and be healthy. -ben > > > > > > Hi I'm new to this group.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 I tired all the supplements inlcuding the one's you menetion and found no change. I was in tip top shape when I got PSSD and from my experience physical activity has nothing to do with it. The only things that gave me improvement were, dopamine agonist, testosterone and stangely enough antibiotics (heard they increase sex hormons as a side affect. Howver, no mater what tried effets would were off in a few weeks and the no matter how many pill I took, things just did not work. Hope you have better luck than me and everyone is different so somethig that may not have worked for me may work for you. > > > > Hi I'm new to this group.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 I agree with you on the physical activiy part. I too was in top physical shape , still am, never been out of shape. Some call me obsessed with it. But even befoe I went on testosterone it didn't effect pssd one way or the other. > > > > > > Hi I'm new to this group.
