1.Viagra help 2.A CALL 4 ACTION (EVERYONE READ THIS!!) please repond. long!!!!

[Guest guest]

This is a two part post, the second is more important, please read and think

through.

1) Part of me wishes i could at least regain some sense that i can at least

still perform. i

am wondering if anyone has had any experience with with cialis or viagra? even

if this

only helped with erections, prolonging them, making them harder? -thats what I'm

looking

for. Has anyone read about this, could this help us perform beter.

i am thinking about trying one of these so that if a sexual situation

presents itself i am a

little more confident and ready. Does this seem like a good idea? Would it make

myself or

any of us males feel a little more confident if we could at least experience

stronger more

enduring erections? Could these types of drugs provide this extra boost in

erection

quality, and help us perform better?

2) a. I am very interested in questions such as: how many people have this

condition and

still have a boyfreind/girlfreind? what is it like to be in a relationship with

this problem?

how did you tell the person you were having this problem?.....or, How many

people are

single with this problem? Are you lonely? To what extent? Do you feel one day

you will be

able to attract a life partner? Is this still something you want? How does being

able to tell

somebody about this problem affect you from even beginning to approach someone?

How

many peolpe feel this problem has greatly damaged there life and to what extent?

and

what could be done about this that would bring a sense of justice,

understanding,

acceptance, healing and meaning?

2) b. People of SSRIsex, I have read many stories,qestions,confessions and

explorations

on this site and I must say we are in a huge and terrible mess.This whole

situation, I am

starting to really realize, is filled to the brim with controversey and rife

with all kinds of

implications as well as complications. In essence, all of us began seeking some

kind of

help, so we went to a psychiatrist who we were told had real solutions to our

problems,

but instead what we were given was a whole new set of problems. None of us have

been

fully healed by any drug but all of us with this problem have been hurt to our

core by an

establishment that won't tell us the truth, and keeps feeding us pills and lies,

pills and lies.

Until there is legitate research about this problem of PSSD, until there is

solid

recognition and some acceptance of accountability on behalf of pharmacuetical

drug

companies, physicians and psychiatrists who sell these drugs, and then don't own

up to

the consequences and destruction they cause in peoples lives, then all of us,

all the people

on this site, all the people who know about this problem including OUR FAMILY

MEMBERS,

OUR FREINDS, all of us have another problem, the responsibilty of bringing this

PSSD into

the public discourse and medical discourse. We must all realize that as we are

silenced

about PSSD, we are being oppressed, the more we are denied recognition the more

we are

whipped into submission and into accepting that no-one will bare any

responsibilty and

noone will consider warning patients that PSSD is a possible side effect. We

are being

wounded on so many different levels and the ones who are wounding us are turning

there

backs to us faster than Bush puts books back on the shelf, and when are

family

and freinds tell us to just " live with it " and " move on " they are silencing this

problem of

PSSD too, by being compliant and not speaking out, they are helping contribute

to the very

denial of the existence of this deeply troubling and HUGELY IMPORTANT ISSUE.

This issue is so important because these drugs are being prescribed to our

children! and

there isn't even a warning that these drugs may cause long term sexual side

effects so that

young people can make up there mind weather or not they want to risk there

libido. And

even though these permanant side effects are rare does't mean people should not

be

informed about them, most side effects are listed as rare, the important thing

is to be

HONEST. All of us are having this common problem, we share the same let down

and

smashed dreams. We at least owe it to the next generation of drug users to warn

them of

these possible outcomes and about taking the drugs so that if they do take them

out of

desperation from depression, OCD, bi-polar or whatever, then at least they can't

say they

were never warned- because none of us were warned about this problem!

Lets all combine our efforts and do something to get this issue further

into the public

eye. As for myself, i want to write a book about this as well as other

experiences i've had

with psychiatric drugs and the damage they've caused me, even with short term

use and

one drug at a time. I also want to write a detailed well informed article that

could be sent

out to anyone who the issue of PSSD would be of concern to. I even have

thought about

doing some kind of a short documentary that focuses on PSSD and emotional damage

from psych drugs, emphasizing real people and real experiences-its plausable

too, I have

a freind who is into film and could do a professional job with the filming and

editing, all

we would need to do is go and talk to people with these problems and then get a

few

experts to admit the problem exists and speak about it, perhaps even Breggin

himself. It

would take real bravery to admit to this problem on camera but all we would need

is a few

willing participants and i think it would show a lot of balls to confess and

talk about these

problems infont of a camera and at least then you've got nothing to hide, it

might even be

liberating somewhat. If needed we could blurr faces, change names ect... we

could put

some of it on youtube.

Even more, what are the moral and ethical issues involved here? I read

stories on this

site and I find myself marveling almost at the deep level of suffering caused by

this

problem. I read about so many people striving so hard to find answers and safe

remedies

and they're doing all of that research on there own time and on there own

budget. I read

about people who are so passionate about this issue they are wanting to turn it

into a part

of there lifes work, they are pouring themselves into it trying to finding help,

often with so

so resullts. Time and time again i see expressed serious outrage and anger to

where

people can hardly contain themselves. I also see serious feelings of loss and

regret,

almost as if someone or something vitally important to them had died, as if the

sexuality

they felt and lost was a person all of its own and to loose so much of that is

to loose a vital

peice of the soul, and i can feel that because thats exactly how i feel, and

that is exactly

why i don't want to see this happening to people who get onto an ssri when they

don't

need to, or get put on a dose thats to high for them, or when another therapy or

supplement would of worked well and been safer, or they aren't even given the

knowledge

that PSSD is a possibility however small it may be. Maybe someone out there

needs a little

SSRI but maybe if they know about PSSD they decide to take a smaller dose and

exercise

and eat better, and that because they took the smaller dose they don't get the

PSSD, or

maybe a person is slightly depressed and wants to try an SSRI but then finds out

about

PSSD and decides not to get on it and that saves him because he was the exact

type of

person that contracts PSSD and maybe that person was a teenager with a whole

life ahead

of him?

Maybe PT-141 will help us all get horny again and safely, until then lets

treat our

problems thoughtfuly and maturely. Lets use our skills to get our real stories,

concerns

and message to docs, physicans, psychiatrists, pharma companies, and possibly

the FDA.

I know it is going to be hard to do, its work, but its neccessary, for our

children, and for

ourselves...don't you think?

With that said, would like to urge people to respond to this with what ever

ideas it

provoked, anything is acceptable. Also, try to come up with ideas for, as i

said, getting

this info more heard in our public, medical discourse and lit. What can we do

to be

heard??? If you want to e-mail me privately, aside from the group, with

anything thats

come up for you around PSSD, please don't hesitate, i am open and will respond

to you

when i can, i am busy so it may take time but i will make an effort to respond.

My e-mail is

devinn321@... To anyone who read this post thank you all so much, i

love you

all.
