Guest guest Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 That is really good news! I'm glad you found something that helps. I came across this info the other day and found it interesting: http://www.holistichelp.net/brainwaves.html After reading it I was thinking that perhaps meditation/deep breathing/relaxation prior to sex might improve things a bit. But haven't tried it yet. > > Good news everyone. After years of struggling with this affliction, I've managed to make a brilliant discovery. I was despairing, I just couldn;t work out why I couldn't get an erection. I was panicking over this ssri thing. Was it permanent? Was it physical? I downloaded a hypnosis mp3 for erectile dysfucntion. I hadn;t slept all day and it put me to sleep, then I woke up after it finished with this mega erection! Then I realised it wasn't physical and I don;t have post srri, it was psychological. The minds a complex thing and the more I tried to will myself or force myself to have an erection, it didn;t work. It became a vicious circle, depression causes ed and ed causes even more depression. It's definitley something worth trying, I'm slightly in denial, but now I know it's psycholigical and I just need to build my confidence slowly, one day at a time. I've suffered so much and I had to share this with other sufferers. The downloads are cheap, and you can google them. It helped me and I can stop taking all these herbs I've been taking for the last few years. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Thanks for that. Meditation takes discipline, the good thing about hypnosis is that the hypnotist does the thinking for you, so you should definitley give it a shot. One of the things that made me worse was the belief I had post ssri. It near enough gave me a breakdown. All I can say to other people reading this is never take ssri's again. My problems began with taking them and it was never explained how severe the side effects were. Try hypnosis instead, they have hypno mp3's for stress, anxiety, confidence...pretty much everything. It's still a challenge trying not to think about getting an erection, as soon as you start doing that and notice it doesn't work, it won't because it's a natural reaction (unless your still taking ssri's which is a killer) I'm sure it's psycholoigical to an extent for everyone here and I hope this helps. Good luck everyone and be strong! > > > > Good news everyone. After years of struggling with this affliction, I've managed to make a brilliant discovery.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 The penis does not respond when the brain is sending out mixed signals. The desire may be there but the signals to become erect aren't. Le 09/03/2012 6:01 AM, Monroe a écrit : If it were psychological in my case, my penis head would not be pale.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 I'm very glad for you, Red, but for some of us, at least, our sexual dysfunction is definitely not psychological. After being free from psychiatric drugs for about 10 years I had to accept that mine was permanent. In the beginning I thought it might be due to anger at my husband, or the exhaustion of being a mom, and a daycare provider, etc. However, after a LOT of cognitive therapy, I realized that my genital anesthesia would never go away, and I went into a period of deep depression for which I refused to take more drugs. Everyone kept assuming my loss was all in my head, but back in the early `90s I FINALLY found a doctor who said he believed me and actually wanted do some testing. All the tests came back normal EXCEPT for the one he did with a pin, after which he said that I seemed to be numb in my saddle area. From all that I've gathered, I think I have pudendal nerve damage, possibly via the sciatic nerve, after being forcibly injected with Haldol back in 1983. The first time I was given that drug (in'75), along with Cogentin (which controls the Parkinson side effects of Haldol), it took about 2 years for my feelings to come back after discontinuing the drugs, but they did come back enough for me to get married and enjoy my husband for a couple of years. The second time (in '81), after the birth of my second child, I lost those feelings again after being injected with the same drug, but after some time they seemed to be returning…UNTIL THAT FINAL INJECTION. After 3 instances of prolonged sleep depression, back in '83, I had been diagnosed as a " chronic paranoid schizophrenic, but years later I was re-diagnosed as having had a sleep disorder. My therapist explained to me that she had to give me a diagnosis from the DSM so that our insurance company would pay for the sessions. In the years since those hospitalizations I learned to take better care of myself so as to avoid being sleep deprived. (I am thankful to have been a psych major, so I was familiar with studies done about sleep deprivation. Not everyone knows…sleep deprivation can cause people to act psychotic.) So here I am, after more than 28 years, still suffering from this loss, but seemingly healthy otherwise. I would like to coin the term PNSD, or " Post Neuroleptic Sexual Dysfunction " for what I have, although I'm not sure if there are many people out there who suffer from it the way I do. I have corresponded with at least a few who have experienced genital numbness after being given neuroleptics, but who's feelings returned after discontinuing the drugs. However, I wonder how many of those who've followed doctors' orders, and are remaining on neuroleptics for the rest of their lives, are even ARTICULATE enough to describe the sexual dysfunction they experience?

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 I have no idea. My penis head, shaft and testicles are all pale. My whole genital region is also numb, even anal/prostate area. Never was like this until I took Zoloft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
