Guest guest Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 hey, let me share my story about organic diet I did. I recently did a detox program by this one book called toxic relief. Its basically you take organic stuff and some supplement for 2 wks and for 3-4 days you do juice fast which you drink nothing but organic fruit and vege juice. and after that you go on for 2 wks with organic foods and veges to end it. I did cheat the program in some parts. It was an interesting experience though. http://www.amazon.com/Toxic-Relief-Restore-Through- Detoxification/dp/1591852137/sr=1- 1/qid=1168736113/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/105-3518549-8746827?ie=UTF8 & s=books Heres what I experienced that were noticeable. Ive been having wierd temperature problem like hot flashes and feeling hot most of the time. during the detoxing I begin to feel really really cold. very opposite from when on SSRI. I kept telling my family members I was cold and they said they werent at all. So something was going on with temp control in my body. I would like to think of it as body finally adjusting temps again. second, only DURING the program, my constipation went away completely. of course I was almost too hungry most of the time since veges and fruit are digested so fast. I was going to the bathroom very effortlessly and it felt pretty good everytime like I was opening up a clogged pipe. third, this was the sign that I thought this detox program was positive for my body. I had this whitehead thing eversince I was a kid. People who have them know what it is . Its this tiny acne like bumps over skin and when you squeeze it, white things come out. During the detox , amazingly most of them disappeared from my face. This was pretty cool since i thought this was a genetic thing all my life. fourth thing Ive noticed is of course. I lost weight which isnt really good for me since Im a skinny person to begine with. and lastly during the detox 3-4 days, I was getting some constant strong erection every morning, Im not sure on this one , it could have been a simple coincedence. But question you guys might be curious about is if it helped my libido. Unfotunatly I didnt notice much in the libido department but I think this program was doing something positive. On one thing though Im not sure if this was do to detoxing but my sensation did come back once in during the day right after the 3-4 day during the shower but after that I became numb again. So this could have been also a coincendence. I might do it again sometime later when Im mentally ready again. but for me it was really hard and long program. > > I have been doing a lot of thinking and soul searching.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 Wow that is amazing what you described in as little as 2 weeks on your program. There is a problem with your detox diet you describe. Your diet must consist of whole foods and not just juices. Vegetables juices are okay I'm pretty sure but with high concentrated doses of fruit juice its harder on the brain for your body to absorb the sugars and shocks the system. However this diet is probably a good temp way to clean things out but not one to stay on. We must not tax the brain with harmful foods in anyway as well as taxing it with organic foods so it can focus more on healing. Too much concentration of sugars is no good even in an organic manner. I know the diet I am on will be difficult to maintain at first but I believe should get easier with time and I'm thankful for your feedback. I too am skinny but will try to eat as much protein as possible in the process through nuts, small quantities of meats, eggs and fish. I have a feeling if you work your body in a healthy manner on a consistent basis it can only help the situation. Act like your body has cancer and your trying to cure it. Most people eat and act as if they can't get cancer. We already worked our bodies in a negative manner on a consistent basis. Also 2 weeks is not long enough to see any hard results. I have read when you start this diet your body goes into withdrawal and is constantly readjusting to keep up with the new nutrients flooding your brain. Also I read cooking vegetables destroys the nutrients in it 85%!!! I like vegetables better raw anyway. Thanx again man pz ~nuretronics > > > > I have been doing a lot of thinking and soul searching.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 I've been doing Bioset for a few weeks, and I've been told that my body handles and drains toxins very well, so I wouldn't need to undergo a detox program. My dr. says there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with me from a physical standpoint. My main problems are the emotional issues that Celexa " masked " for so many years, plus blocked chemical pathways which affect libido. I'm not 100% sold on BioSet, so take it for what it's worth. I do think it is important to take a hard look at one's diet. A lifestyle which features high amounts of alcohol and caffeine can't help. I basically just drink plenty of water, eat sensibly, and exercise a few times weekly. Hats off for being disciplined enough to undergo such a challenging diet as 100% organic.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 I could't help but smile about your erection and libido boost. Hooray for you!!!!!!!!!! You're on your way to healing. Where can I read about the diet change? My hubby ONLY drinks diet soda and beer 3 x a week. And nothing organic - - - - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 I have been eating nothing but organic carrots, organic eggs, organic sunflower seeds, and tons of other organic stuff and tons of water. Plus I have been exercising at a minimal level to keep the flow moving. Organic can be expensive but it is definitely worth it. You get more nutrients and less toxins. In addition I am no longer taking multivitamins and minimizing intake of any herbs. I just got a strong desire to have sex after looking at a picture of a girl on the internet. This was a strong libido and erection not just an erection almost like I was in heat. Plus I actually got this erection without manually stimulating it and this is the first time in a long time this happened where I got strong libido with an erection. I only started this diet for two days and I'm already seeing very promising results. Water is very essential for increasing libido as well I have read. My body is still detoxifying in this stage and I didn't expect this so soon. I also listen to music to stimulate my dopamine. I read music increases dopamine as well which makes sense why the ravers take ecstasy and listen to trance music. They are working their serotonin and dopamine at the same time for a double high. That is the music I am really into even though I never did recreational drugs like X just drugs that can f*k you up just as much in a sense. I listen to real trance not cheesy trance. I recommend the follwing site for a dopamine boost of trance http://www.di.fm/ and to follow a very strict organic diet. I still believe the brain can heal and regenerate itself if you work it the right way long enough. > > > > > > I have been doing a lot of thinking and soul searching.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Sounds like you're doing great. If you're doing so well at this point you will probably fully recover.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 This is the end of my first week of the 100% organic diet. I noticed an increase in libido as well as erections. Since quitting 3 months ago I had basically a 0 libido and barely ever got erections. I still haven't gotten morning erections yet but I get more spontaneous ones and feel urges a little more. This all happened in 1 week. Overall there is a difference and I'm going to take this further. This diet is very difficult to maintain but I feel it is worth it if there is any improvement. The foods we eat contain healing powers to them like anti-oxidants which can kill free radicals as well as possibly change our cells back I believe. I also take foods that are abundant in Omega-3 such as organic eggs and organic olive oil which contains 1200mg of omega-3 a serving which is more than the eggs themselves which contain 225 mg of omega-3. I think taking 1 vitamin a week is enough on this diet. Hopefully the improvement continues as I still have a long way to go to get back to normal.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Glad to hear of your improvement. I was just thinking - you mentioned you were off your meds 3 months by now and you are beginning to feel some improvement. I know you are working hard to be diligent about your organic diet. I think that's so great. Wish my husband was that disaplined. Here's my question, do you attribute your improvement to the diet or do you think that maybe you are just naturally healing with time? As I read some people heal spontaeously over some months or even years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Hey, did you try getting something in writing from Forest labs about the long-term effects of lexapro. You never got back to me about that. If you don't want to do, maybe somebody else could try. Luther? I know they won't give it to me because they know who I am after I've called them so many times.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 No I didn't try calling Forest again. I must admit I put it on the back burner while researching all these people that may be able to help hubby & me.I will get back to it. I'll let you know the outcome.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 I have a difficult time believeing that diet alone can revese PSSD, no matter how good the diet. You might just be one of the lucky ones who has a brain able to reverse the damage. After all, you started to recover very quickly compared to others, especially considering the amount of time you were on the drugs. Having said that that, I don't think anything can be ruled out. Maybe it really does work. But unless more people try there is no way of knowing -- because if it happens in only one person it could just be coincidence. So I will try it myself just in case ther really is something to it. Vornan > > > > > > Glad to hear of your improvement.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 The organic diet intrigues me, but I'm willing to bet you would have gotten better anyway, as perhaps you don't have " pure " PSSD. Everybody has temporary problems after withdrawing from SSRIs, some get better within a couple months and some don't. You're probably one of the fortunate ones. It is definitely something that is worth a shot though. Luther > > > > > > Glad to hear of your improvement.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 So I called Forest again. It just made me quite angry. I wonder how they train these "phamasists" to give you these stupid answers. I questioned them about how long it takes to regain your sexual functioning after being off the meds. The answer was ... it vareys from person to person. She says there hasn't been enough studies to give us that answer. Oh so instead treat people with it and use them as guinea pigs? She kept repeating the same thing over and over . . . ask your doctor how to treat your husband and it varies from person to person. She says it says in our brochures that you do run the risk of sexual dysfunction. Yes, but does it say that you run the risk of sexual dysfunction for a lifetime???? She suggested I go onto the American Psychological Ass. website and National Insttitute of Mental Health website. I suggest Forest Labs does a little more research before dispensing their product to people and destroying their lives!!! I plan to find away of making more people aware of this. People must know they run the risk of being permenantly altered if they take a certain drug. If I could turn back time and take away that 4 months of Lexapro I would in a second! It never took away his problem - it only covered it up for a while. It may sound really silly but I plan on writing to Oprah about this and Dateline. I know there are lots of different opinions of Oprah, and probably Dateline too, out there but I feel like I need to do something! I want help!

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 Can't directly relate but I read men have 3 - 4 erections a night and sometimes wake up with erections (not everyday). So maybe your having the dreams AND the erections but your sleeping. So you wouldn't know about the erections. Do you wake up with erections sometimes? I THINK that's what's normal. Doesn't have to be everyday. But this is coming from a women who really doesn't know much! Update on my hubby . . .although we don't talk about it, he told me he thinks he is improving. He says he gets erections sometimes in the morning. (don't know if that's wishful thinking - I never noticed one) But his libido is till dead - 100% dead. I'm really not putting any pressure on him to have sex at all for about a month. I told him to take time to recover and don't worry about our sex life. However, at the end of a months time I think we need to connect and "just do it". I don't want him to totally lose touch with his sexual side.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 Would love to try it but husband would never try it.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 Sounds like your having progress. As long as there's improvement - it's a good thing. Good luck tomorrow night.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 I'm not sure if I am improving now. I get more frequent erections than before although not many but I still don't get erections in the morning. Also I noticed I have been having wet dreams frequently about 4 times in the last 2 weeks since starting this diet. But I don't think I am erect during the wet dreams I just have them and don't wake up with an erection but they are definitely wet dreams. And one time I got a wet dream a night after I masturbated. Does this happen to anyone else on this site where they get wet dreams at all and not getting erections? Also I notice that my wet dreams occur I think because I take rich amounts of omega-3 in foods and in supplement form. But I am still upset because I am still dysfunctional in a high degree and I don't really know if I am healing or not. But maybe I am healing just slowly. I think maybe it's the omega-3 thats doing all of this and maybe it is kind of artificial even though it is natural which I know is a contradiction. I might have to do this diet a long long time to see real results which I might consider. Please respond somebody ~take care nuretronics > > So I called Forest again. It just made me quite angry.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 I don't think I ever get erections in the morning and a healthy guy is supposed to get one every morning at any age. I know its still early this is week 2 but it would be nice to get one in the morning. I used to get one all the time like when I had to pee etc in the morning even all day now I never get it when I have to pee. There is definitely a disconnect there but another note is when I see girls now and think about sex I usually get pretty good erections. I feel I can get it up much easier than before but I don't know. Also sometimes I stare at pictures of girls and nothing its just dead down there. But at other times I get erections. I might go out to a club tomorrow to see how well its working but of course I won't drink. I never drank my whole life really by the way. When a guy is close to a hot girl his testosterone rises so I'll see if I made any concrete progress tomorrow. Last time I was at the club I mentioned I didn't get an erection all night. > > Can't directly relate but I read men have 3 - 4 erections a night and > sometimes wake up with erections (not everyday).

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 This may sound unusual, but browsing online I found a suggested way to check to see if you're having erections during the night. Fashion a band out of tissue and place it around the organ so that an increase in girth such as with an erection causes the tissue to break. If you wake up with the band broken you know that an erection has occurred. There are obvious weaknesses such as the tissue is delicate, but consistent breakage indicates activity. " Halfway theres " , which are what I'm left with after 16 years on Prozac, would also break the band.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 I'm not going out tonite bc I am depressed. I found a video of this however. How to cure diabetes naturally with foods. I think I am going to cut out all sugars except from fruit. No more organic oj or organic lemonade. I still think I have improved but it felt like a higher level last week. I slacked off on the extremely good stuff even though I am eating still very healthy. I have to take it more extreme and eat healthy healthy which means no more processed organic chips or milk. This is a true test of willpower. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1407054601065907544 > > Sounds like your having progress. As long as there's improvement - it's a > good thing.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 I think when I was speaking to her she had the phone away from her ear and she just recited the same thing over and over. I asked her if she could give me her statements in writing and she refused. I think the first time I would've ahd a better chance. However, I didn't realize I should've asked for anthing.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Okay my sex drive is 0 again. I hate life so much right now and have no point of living. I'm 22 years old I don't drink or smoke and in excellent physical shape and can not even get a erection. After the first week I had a small drive and then it goes right back down to 0. How does this happen. Also I didn't cheat at all on this diet. Today I bought l-arginine and phosphatidyl serine out of frustration. I read phosphatidyl serine can repair damage to nucleus and is for regulating existing dopamine. It is also great for reducing cortisol something the SSRIs made us produce too much. I need more dopamine which is the main problem. I think we should work a thread on all the possible ways to increase dopamine naturally and with supplements. I'm also taking a shitload of omega-3. I think that was why I did good the first week because the omega-3 abundance was new to my system. Now that my body got used to the supplement its no longer as effective. However I think taking it could still be beneficial despite it not producing a big effect sexually anymore. Its something people recommend taking everyday. Also I think our brains aren't producing enough dopamine. After reading a bit about adderall it doesn't sound too bad a drug and I see it really hits us with dopamine for the effect. I would take phosphatidyl serine with it probably if I ever get my hands on it to regulate my dopamine with the drug. Cutting out all artificial sugars could also be a possible reason I'm doing worse. Sugar increases dopamine and I need a high right now. I'm not ever going to enjoy life unless my sex drive returns. ~pz nuretronics > > > > Maybe because it will " only " be 2 months as of this wednesday, it is > still > > too soon for husband to feel comfortable enough to discuss it with > me.

The adderall basically just makes your erection last longer (not sure if it helps you actually get one in the first place). Taking adderall will DECREASE your desire to have sex but, for me, doesn't really impair my ability to actually perform. There are many other ways to increase your dopamine levels without adderall. Adderall not only increase dopamine but also norepinephrine (adrenaline). It's going to keep you awake for days and is extremely addictive, as well as killing your appetite and making you paranoid. The only thing you should EVER use adderall for is the inability to concentrate due to ADHD/ADD. Adderall is basically the pharmaceutical version of cocaine. Also you will never ever get a prescription for it without being diagnosed with ADHD from a psychiatrist. Adderall is classified as a type II drug, the same classification as morphine and cocaine. Also in the long term adderall can actually decrease your dopamine levels and lead to depression (which is the reason I started taking zoloft in the first place). Adderall is what's called a reuptake inhibitor. It doesn't actually increase how much dopamine your brain produces, it just prevents your brain from getting rid of the dopamine that is already there. Some doctors claim that the brain responds to this by making less dopamine to begin with, which is probably why former cocaine addicts have a problem with depression. Adderall is NOT a solution to any type of sexual problem. I'm pretty sure there are drugs made specifically for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Even though it doesn't increase dopamine coming Adderal in it essentially increases the amount by flooding your brain with dopamine that it actually already has. It prevents the reuptake of nuerotransmitters much like SSRIs except instead of serontonin it is dopamine. So if you were to increase your dopamine while taking it like smoking a cigarrete or taking chocolate it would saturate that dopamine and it would stay in your system much longer. However Adderall is essentially a legal form of a drug like Methamphetamine. And I definitely would not take Adderall unless I was in the situation I am in now. The difference is Adderall is more regulated (yeah right). I read that meth users nueronal receptor sites are shutdown after chronic use. Because meth has a chemical that mimics the dopamine structure and gets in the brain and floods it with 6 times the " normal " dopamine you could produce on your own. The high is also 3 and a half times that of cocaine and lasts up to 12 hours instead of a half hour. In the video I watched on Meth it says the over-activity of those sites after long use causes the brain to shut the overloaded neurons. Could SSRIs have caused so much inactivity or overactivity that many of our neuron receptors shut down as well? Also I read that our cells become cork screw shaped in experiments done with rats from SSRIs. We need to work on nueron structure as well to even activate more dopamine. So many things are wrong and only lots and lots of brain scans can determine it. > I'm 23 years old and started Adderall about 6 months ago, then Zoloft > two weeks ago. > > The adderall basically just makes your erection last longer (not sure > if it helps you actually get one in the first place).
