Re: I did it.....I just don't know how

[Guest guest]

Amazing!

In my case I stil think that my stress and unhappiness is holding back my

recovery. I am working towards overcoming my problems and then relaxing and

nurturing myself. Along with lots of good quality sleep, sufficient execise,

happiness, peace of mind, intesting hobbies, close friendships, etc, afterwhich

I then expect my sex drive will come back. But you need to be patient as the

brain repairs itself slowly.

Stress means high cortisol which means brain damage, or at least, a brain that

can't repair itself.

So let's learn how to be happy, despite PSSD.

Superb post, , you have cheerd me up a lot.

antidepressant use I was numb to sex or anything sexual for weeks at a time. My

sophomore and well, as of about a month ago...I'm cured. The fact is though I

did absolutely nothing at all. I'm eating the same, I still don't exercise

frequently, I've never taken anything like a sexual supplement or viagra. I did

take Wellbutrin in the summer before my high school senior year but it was

causing me insomnia and it didn't help. I still haven't had sex with anyone at

least in part due to the fear that this disease would impede me. Now I wouldn't

say I'm the same as I was when I was 13 years old but that was the apex of my

puberty so it makes perfect sense that it wouldn't be THAT strong. But I'd say

its about 80% and that's more than good enough for me. I know a lot of you

Hi Man That is Great to hear Man , really so happy to hear this. Tell me ,has a little of you're anxiety or previous disorders come back in a way. I quit paxil at 21 years old and after 4 months my sexual function came back through the roof up to 80% , however my damn ocd and anxiety came with it and after 7 months a shrink put me on Lexapro for 2 months, I then quit the low dose because my genitals were in a coma , he put me on Luvox for one year, I tried wellbutrin to counteract the sexual side effects, at 300 mg wellbutrin XL helped a bit however I counldn`t sleep and was wired . At 150 mgs wellbutrin didn`t do much. I have been free of Luvox for well over 2 years and free of wellbutrin for over 18 months and still have sexual side effects. I hear good stuff about

inositol powder. All the best Man, great to hear `that you`re old self is back. Don`t ever take those nastry drugs again. Try fish oil and other natural foods. Peace, Adam To: ssrisex Sent:

In a way yes. I get a lot of anxiety caused from flashbacks that the

antidepressants suppressed. The flashbacks themselves are about the littlest

mistakes I think I make but they affect me cuz its a kind of ocd. In my case

I've managed to understand that a lot of these come from a defense mechanism

from years of " issues " I dealt with. Even though understanding this hasn't made

the obsession go away I believe that I can overcome it psychologically.

Unfortunately I know this probably doesn't help you because it may not be

psychological in your case. Sorry

I took the generic Wellbutrin 150 mgs for about a month. The first couple days I def noticed my genitals weren't as numb and my erection was easier to get and maintain and more pleasure on orgasm. But after those first couple days, I don't think it really did much of anything.

I took wellbutrin for about one years before quitting.

Hi ,

have you noticed any positive or negative dynamics since you quitted wellbutrin?

> I took the generic Wellbutrin 150 mgs for about a month.  The first couple

days I def noticed my genitals weren't as numb and my erection was easier to get

and maintain and more pleasure on orgasm.  But after those first couple days, I

don't think it really did much of anything.

Nothing positive and nothing negative since quitting. I didn't have any withdrawal like I did with the SSRI Zoloft.

[Guest guest]

Yes to the first no to the second and yes to the last. As far as I know PSSD

could include any of these but doesn't necessarily have to be any one in

particular...as far as I know. I indeed had numbing of the genitals and low

libido for a long time. It started while I was taking antidepressants and then

persisted afterward. My orgasms themselves, however, did not change

particularly. Though for a time they were harder to achieve. Its worth noting

that this delayed ejaculation dimension of the disease was the very first thing

I noticed got better even prior to the sudden recovery.

a little of you're anxiety or previous disorders come back in a way. I quit

paxil at 21 years old and after 4 months my sexual function came back through

the roof up to 80% , however my damn ocd and anxiety came with it and after 7

months a shrink put me on Lexapro for 2 months, I then quit the low dose because

my genitals were in a coma ,  he put me on Luvox for one year, I tried

wellbutrin to counteract the sexual side effects, at 300 mg wellbutrin XL helped

a bit however I counldn`t sleep and was wired . At 150 mgs wellbutrin didn`t do

much. I have been free of Luvox for well over 2 years and free of wellbutrin for

over 18 months and still have sexual side effects. I hear good stuff about

inositol powder.

I've been having a few good erections also but the same as Adam, genitals are numb and orgasms are muted. When I ejaculate, it barely comes out with no force and I can barely feel it and I can't even tell I have had an orgasm 10 minutes later, I still feel the same, flat. It used to shoot out with great force, distance and pleasure 3 1/2 years ago before Zoloft. To:

Nonetheless I had definitely lost my libido and I was horrified that it meant the end of my happiness. I went through the emotional numbing, the suicidal thoughts, the obsessive desire to cure this. Now its been two years after I joined and three years since I stopped antidepressants. I am a college sophomore and well, as of about a month ago...I'm cured. The fact is though I did absolutely nothing at all. I'm eating the same, I still don't exercise frequently, I've never taken anything like a sexual supplement or viagra. I did take Wellbutrin in the summer before my high

school senior year but it was causing me insomnia and it didn't help. I still haven't had sex with anyone at least in part due to the fear that this disease would impede me. Now I wouldn't say I'm the same as I was when I was 13 years old but that was the apex of my puberty so it makes perfect sense that it wouldn't be THAT strong. But I'd say its about 80% and that's more than good enough for me. I know a lot of you probably have questions for me and I'll do my best to answer. I know how it feels to be stuck with this thing and we all deserve to have our sexuality. I hope for the sake of everyone who is, and will be, afflicted by this that a universal answer will come one day.Note: One thing that I did do was that over time I allowed myself to let go of the obsession I had in curing this. For hours and hours I would search the internet trying to understand what had happened but never found much. Eventually it's not to say that I had come to terms

with this but I sort of just put it aside. I went to a therapist for over a year solving the other problems in my life (some of which I had incorrectly blamed on PSSD)and although in that regard I've still got "issues" to deal with I think it must have helped. As I wracked my brain trying to understand myself my sexuality (very) gradually got slightly better and better until a few weeks ago there was a burst of inexplicable sexual energy and it hasn't gone away since.

When ejaculate it sometimes comes out with force however orgasm is muted and sensation is really dull, i feel little pleasure deeper in my genitals, ''very little'' , however a few minutes later I know I had a sucky muted orgasm because I get that relaxed feeling after i ejaculate. For me it's all about lack of damn sensation, funny is anxiety is not present, funny how when anxiety comes back sexual sensations also return.

I've been having a few good erections also but the same as Adam, genitals are numb and orgasms are muted. When I ejaculate, it barely comes out with no force and I can barely feel it and I can't even tell I have had an orgasm 10 minutes later, I still feel the same, flat. It used to shoot out with great force, distance and pleasure 3 1/2 years ago before Zoloft. To:

I Have good erections also however my genitals are still dull and orgasm is almost joyless. You recover early which happened with me when I weaned off paxil 3-4 years ago. To: "SSRIsex " <SSRIsex > Sent: Monday, December 26, 2011 9:38:55 PM Subject: Re:

Hi Adil

Did you have numb genitals and pleasure orgasms.

somehow the matter of acceptance and being able to relax plays a huge role in the healing process. To find it is not that easy but surly can be done as many that healed have done it. This is a big lesson learned.

Okay let me clear this up . I am 24 years old now . I took Paxil from 14 to 21 years old, from 15mgs to 20mgs- dose. I slowly weaned off Paxil in a 4 month period and after been ''free'' of the drug for 3-4 months sexual sensations, sex drive, orgasm, anxiety , ocd all came back full force. I then stayed ''FREE OF DRUGS FOR 7 MONTHS'' . Anxiety was back so a Shrink recommended Lexapro at 10 mgs and said it has less sexual side effects. I noticed sexual side effects 10-15 hours after taking Lexapro ''cipralex'' the canadian version, took it for 4 days then stopped for a few days. The shrink told me to take it for a few weeks to see what happens, stupid that i am i continued taking it and stopped after 2 months because my dick was in a coma. I then

took low doses of Luvox and wellbutrin for a years and still had sexual side effects. I went from 5 mgs of lexapro straight to Luvox, maybe that fucked something up in my brain. I have been off of Lexapro and Luvox for well over 2 years, and wellbutrin for over 19 months. I currently can obtain good erections from sexual thoughts however drive is still a little low and genitals numbness is awful , orgasm is muted . My testicles,dick,hands,lips ,legs have all lost that sexual sensative touch, all the skin on my body is pretty much dulled, I can feel touch however it doesn't feel very good. As that more clear of an explanation, and yes i did recover from paxil with a slow weaning process, from 20mgs -18mgs -15mgs going down 2 mgs until I was at 1 mg and took it one day yes one day no for two weeks, then I quit with no withdrawl effects . feel free to ask me more question and Happy Hollidays to you all. Apparently Many recover with paxil,

it's fucking Lexapro that's causing problems, made more numb than paxi lever did. Best Wishes, Adam To: "SSRIsex " <SSRIsex > Sent: Tuesday, December 27, 2011 10:42:31 PM Subject: Re: I did it.....I just don't know how
