Possibly new victim of SSRI

Hey there, here's a guy from Germany, so please don't bother about the language.

First of all I have to say I was suffering from different anxieties and

compulsive disorders for the last 10 years. Non-medical therapies were more or

less successfull. However, the last 3 years were fantastic but out of the blue I

had a relapse and I thought I have to die (really!). I went to a mental doctor

and for the first time I agreed in taking SSRI (Fluoxetine). Now I would say

this was a big mistake. The first day I just suffered from a few visual problems

and I was tired as hell. But after that everything went to the better. I've

noticed a longer intercourse until ejaculation from the 3rd day on and me and my

girlfriend were not unhappy about it. However, after one week of treatment I

could not get an orgasm at all. Erections were still good but the whole

situation was spooky to me. Furthermore, I received message that my thyroid

shows underfuction, which could also lead to my mental problems. So I decided to

immediately stop the drug after 12 days (10mg/day). I did not use 'tapering'

because of the following reasons: Long half-live of fluoxetine, short usage and

low dose. Sitution today (one week after stopping): no libido, no erection. I

hope that I am just too impatient. The drug is not yet out of my body so I think

there is hope. I noticed morning erections so I hope for psychological reasons.

However, even during the worst depressive seasons my libido was not affected.

This makes me very sad. What makes me angry is the fact, that my doctor

completely misinformed me about the possible side-effects. He said that sexual

problems occour only after long treatment but are 100 % reversible after

stopping the medicine.

Greetings!

Fluoxetine (Prozac), the prototypical SSRI, is classified as a reproductive

toxin by the Center for the Evaluation of Risks to Human Reproduction (CERHR),

an expert panel at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences at

the National Institutes of Health.

They know how theses drugs work!

Nobody is helped by psych drugs. The people who say they are helped, are either

benefiting by $$$ or in denial.

Although I think very few people are helped by SSRIs I think this is too much of

a conspiracy theory approach. From what I understand only 1/7 have a genotype

that will give them a positive outcome from SSRIs. Most people will see no

benefit. But there could be a real benefit for a small percentage. I got

genotyped and I am not in the percentage to benefit. I got in touch with the

genotyping company and they are now running a study on SSRIs and side effects.

It will be interesting to see what they might discover.

Amen to that! The only people that are helped with psych drugs are the people

that are screwed over by psychiatric drugs. If that ain't addiction...
