Guest guest Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 I would be interested in being part of your plans and Waldinger's research group. This is exactly the type of action that we need to take to make real progress with PSSD, so I agree with your approach. The condition obviously needs to be the subject of proper research by medical practitioners that believe in it and who are interested in it. I had actually been thinking recently of going to see Waldinger - the UK doctor that I see about PSSD recommended him to me a while ago (I've had PSSD for 5 years). So, I will happily go and see Waldinger and try to make the case as to why he should lead a research project for people with PSSD and maybe we can all meet in the Netherlands. I am based in the UK and can get to the Netherlands relatively easily. > > Dear all, > > Me and 2 other PSSD sufferors have close contact with Professor Waldinger in the Netherlands. > > Professor Waldinger is Psychiatrist and Neurologist and is specialized in sexuality.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 Hi, Thanks for your respons! Flying in to the Netherlands is not as easy as taking the car and drive for a few hours, but I can surely understand willingness to come, regarding your pssd! To certain extend we need to coordinate the dialogue with Waldinger ourself. He has a very busy scedule; even working on saturdays and sundays to treat all his patient / coordinate his work. Nevertheless he is a reknown and appreciated professor. The symptoms we have differ from each other. It would be good to create our own repport on the information we can provide ourselves. Could you provide your symptoms aswell? I will send you my private gmail account by private (yahoo) mail Case 1: (myself): erectyle disfunction / no - to limited libido (Paxil for 2 months) Case 2: Partly Genital anistasia / Blatter disfunction / no - limited libido (Prozac for 2 months) (libido brought back by the use of alcohol after a period of taking requip (in a high dosis)) Case 3: Complete Genital anistasia (Paxil for 10 months) I have an appointment in the beginning of januari and will discuss/propose possibilities. Prof. Waldinger does not have the answer to PSSD, but does hypothesize about a method to cure the syndrome. In (very) short. the sexual function is a cascade of different neurotransmittor(s) (systems) serotenine, dopamine, Gaba and glutomine etc. His theory is that genetic alterations in these system alter the " code " which is needed to trigger sexual respons (libido) or sensitivity. Secondly this genetic sensitivity is only applicable to certain people with certain genetics. for some reason the overdose of Serotenine from the SSRI's has instructed the Gaba system (blocking system) to block sexual responses more thoroughly than normal. The Glutomine (activating system)is not able to undo this change or just to certain extend. dopamine is not properly interacting aswell, one of the reasons requip (dopamine agonist) is somethimes only partly effective (in the case of one of us). > > > > Dear all, > > > > Me and 2 other PSSD sufferors have close contact with Professor Waldinger in the Netherlands. > > > > Professor Waldinger is Psychiatrist and Neurologist and is specialized in sexuality.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 Hi, It is not so much " experimenting " Waldinger wants to do. He has prescribed one of us Requip, but before prescribing more types o medicine he needs a proper hypothesis about PSSD. As of us 3 we are not a consistent population; more patients, more Secondly we want to discuss te way to go forward with Waldinger on establishing a medical article. waldinger as a professor has significant name and influence to strenghten our case and outline our problems to the medical world. I am willing to act as a coordinator in the efforts to cooperate with professor Waldinger on behalf of our PSSD problem: - Make our problem more reknown in the medical world; - establish research on cause and treatment. > > What Drugs does Mr Waldinger want to experiment with.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 I really hope Dr Waldinger will help with: trying to treat PSSD, with recognizing the condition, with hypothesizing about what may cause it, and with publishing about it. I have become too doubting and cynical though. If you look at Dr. Marcel Waldinger's scientific publications, you can see he has at least in part built his career on the use of SSRIs to treat premature ejaculation. Thus, he is invested in the " positive sexual side effects " of SSRIs. In his PE studies, he does not seem to raise concerns about the undesirable sexual side effects that for many would likely accompany any attempt to treat PE with SSRIs. I don't know, but I would assume his research is pharm funded. Investigators whose studies are funded by pharm tend to shy away from jeopardizing their funding by bringing attention to problems with the medications. A short-acting SSRI called Prilogy (Dapoxetine)is already approved in many countries (not yet the USA) to treat PE, and I would not be surprised if Waldinger's studies contributed to getting it approved. > > > > What Drugs does Mr Waldinger want to experiment with. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 I agree in what you are saying; although I dont fully agree on him being funded by the big Pharma...this is something which is tightly regulated in the Netherlands. never the less...He is a Psychiatrist...meaning he has been educated to prescribe Anti-depressents and make a living out of it...these type of people have...definately...made me very sceptical and cynical aswell. If it wasn't for their " world " science I wouldn't have had my piece of PSSD. But, Trying to fight for our cause, PSSD has to pushed into the open. Waldinger is a prof. open for a dialogue...underlining PSSD. it seems like a valid option to try. He has given no signals of unnwillingness up till now. I do think however we need to go forward in a collaborative way. Else we will not be able to provide enough " muscle " in a dialogue with him. and in case of failure? I will keep on trying to get it into the open through the next medical person " willing to put his hands into the fire " . I surely hope more people from Europe are willing to contact me, Currently I received 2 replies; > > > > > > What Drugs does Mr Waldinger want to experiment with. > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Can prof. Waldinger do an exploratory research among all members of this PSSD group? He could do that via email, telephone or Skype. Such a preliminary study can draw the attention of other researchers to conduct further studies about PSSD. And it can alert authorities and health care professionals worldwide to these long lasting side effects of SSRIs. > > Dear all, > > Me and 2 other PSSD sufferors have close contact with Professor Waldinger in the Netherlands.
