Guest guest Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Hi guys, let me drop here my story. I took antidepressants to deal with my PE problem. As first I took Serlift(Sertralin) just for a 5 days - I quit it due to significant side effects - I felt dizzy etc. but it didn't affect a lot my sexuality - right after I quit it everything was OK. I said to myself I'm not gonna treat with it anymore. This was 2 years ago - 2010 beginning. PE problem continuous, and after 2 years I have visited sexologist again and he advised me to try Paretin (paroxetin) 20mg/day for about 2 months. I had a relationship so good time to try I thought. After the first pill, I felt tingling in my penis (pins and needles). But I didn't feel dizzy etc. as with Serlift so I continue to used it to day when I woke up with no erection. I wasn't able to obtain erection from visual stimuli, and when I get erection it could be hard just for a couple of sec without physical stimulation. So I quit it immediately and found this group and other posts from people they have used it and became worry. I took Paretin(paroxetin/paxil) " just " for 2 weeks (11 tbl) but I still have significant PSSD after already 6 months after I quit it. I quit it cold turkey without any problems. My morning erections came back but not as hard as it was before. My ejaculation is not as strong and ejaculate also seems retarded - watery. My libido is really weak - pretty 0. I cant get erection from visual stimuli - or it needs lot of concentration. I have never ever before feel depression or so. But these days I really understand those they are close to suicide thinking. After quitting I hoped its not gonna take so long to recover - I felt fine. But then I lost job, I was under lot of pressure - and then I started to feel really weird - I cant even describe it - I'm like no passion for anything, I was into sport a lot - gym, hockey, etc. I feel like slowed down - I perceive world around me differently. Im scared of it. I got a new job - better than the last one - so it shouldn't be due to that. I don't know due to what it happened but when I red about PSSD I think its due to dopamine issue - at least its the most logical thing These days I'm starting to deal with it - I'm going to visit doc and discuss all these things and possible recovery starters. Is there anyone who took paxil or other SSRI for " just " short period of time and recover quickly? I mean completely. I am not sure from reading all these posts whether there is any differentiation between those who took it for a year or just for a month/or less. Thanks, I will keep you posted how I'm doing. ...Ssinus.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Hi, I have got results from endocrinologist (just over the phone) - He told me that everything is OK except testosterone level - its in " normal " but its like for 50 years old man or so. He told me number like 13 and I should have something above 27 or so... Is this cause of SSRI or just stress or both together - adrenal fatigue . DR told me that its psychological issue which needs to be solved - not sure yet, will know more after the next check up. Is this the same for all of you who are suffering PSSD that your test.level is so low. Or its a pretty different thing? Because I haven't used paxil for such a long period - but the truth is that problems started just after the first pill. Not sure whether the brain was damaged by it immediately(I took it just for 2 weeks 20 then 10mg) or its " just " adrenal thing. Any advice ?

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 My testosterone levels were 450 ng/dl. The range was 200-1100 ng/dl, which falls into the "normal" range so my Dr. said he was "pleased." But I am 27 years old, and I have researched and a 450 ng/dl level is normal for a 65+ year old man. Someone my age should be 600-800 ng/dl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
