Guest guest Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 I know. It is soooo frustrating. I am trying to get my husband to go to a doctor....but I have been to two and they were so bad. I am not going to put him through that. I wish there was someone out there who could help us. My husband is trying to say it is my fault. But I know it isn't. I think he is just trying to save his own ego. Last night he had me on the verge of an orgasm with kissing and touching and then he stopped. He is trying to get me to apologize. The more he tried to get me to apologize the more hurt and angry I got. I told him it didn't matter, but to bring a woman that close, and then to just stop was sadistic. I think he is jealous of my ability to orgasm. > > I went to see a sexologist today, one of those that write books and believe to be on top of things.. I told him about PSSD hoping that he has heard of it and maybe has something to offer ( " being a sex guru " " right!?) atleast information or maybe other patients that he has with this condition..and all I got is the regular shit of disbelieve.. " its just in your head! or maybe nothing wrong with you..you are making this up.. " oh! my favorite! " you are older now! " well fu#k you! Im 32! and I told you my testosterone is fine! ..blah blah.. I could hardly stand it listening to what he was saying! made me feel so small!

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Does your husband openly admit that he has PSSD? If so, I don't understand how could that be your fault!? As a couple, you guys are in this together, should fight it together, and should do the best you can of the situation for the time being. If you can orgasm thats great, he should respect that, and do the best he can to keep you sexually satisfied.This will keep your intimacy alive, and thats good for both sides.Some even say that there is a bigger chance of recovery of PSSD if you have a partner.So,he is lucky to have you and that you are willing to stick around.Talk openly about things,this will create a strong connection between both of you, no room for feeding egos here.Its what I think anyways.h377n wrote: I know.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 No he doesn't opennly admit to it. And since we both have a diagnosis, I am scared to leave him and scared to go for help. He always twists it around to my fault. If he were my first, I might believe him. But I've been with others and I have never had a man start to have sex and then just quit. That is one thing. But to bring your woman so close and then say you are tired it sadistic. > > > > I went to see a sexologist today, one of those that write books and > believe to be on top of things..

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Indeed, lack of libido seems to be one of, if not THE worst side effect of SSRIs. I spoke to my psychiatrist, and he claimed that PSSRI is not found in the professional literature. Yet, so many have been affected, how can they deny it? My guess is that anti-depressants are a multi-billion dollar industry, and the drug companies wish to keep the truth under wraps, at all costs. Perhaps some would think me a conspiracist, but I don't consider myself one. Vested interests wish to maintain their wealth and power, and will do what is neccesary to maintain them. I think that my psychiatrist is an honorable man, it's just that he reads the official literature, and that literature is part of The Establishment, as it were. I don't know, perhaps I am paranoid?

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 There are at least 200 controlled studies going on for solution to the so-called PSSD currently. See: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=pubmed & DbFrom=PubMed & Cmd=Link & LinkName=pubmed_pubmed & LinkReadableName=Related%20Articles & IdsFromResult=12409684 & ordinalpos=1 & itool=EntrezSystem2.PEntrez.Pubmed.Pubmed_ResultsPanel.Pubmed_RVAbstractPlus 32yo is the beginning of a woman's sexual prime. The 'just quit' is my own symptom because the tiniest thing can impact my will to engage in sex while my body has no sexual drive since SSRI treatment. See: http://www.depressionny.com/q & a-sexualse.htm My side-effects filing to the pharmaceuticals company was followed up with their phone call to me in which they said they are unaware of any sexual side effects to Celexa, had received no other such complaints and knew of no studies in regard to such complaints. If you are both suffering, then acknowledgement of the symptoms will remove the blame game, allow restored confidence and a sense of trust in one another and possibly allow you to at least engage in intimacy that you are capable of performing. Honesty is the best policy, failing that perhaps it is time to move on to greener pastures. There are many sufferers of these side unacknowledged effects and finding another co-sufferer with an open mind may make the period of return to normal sexual function after stopping SSRI's more bearable.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Those studies are concerening sexual side-effects while still on SSRIs. They are not about PSSD - side effects that persist after quitting.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 I presume they mean that they are aware of no studies documenting persistent sexual side effects? They surely didn't deny the existence of sexual side effects per se? They are lying in either case, but there is a difference.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 My husband does the same thing! youre not alone! He will get the engine running full speed then decide oops got to go get something to eat (hes diabetic)to make sure he doesnt drop too low in blood sugar but NEVER COMES BACK!! after laying there an hour fuming, I got up and he was in the living room sitting on the couch watching TV cutting his toenails!! I thought to myself NEVER again! there are many ways to be intimate with out intercourse yet, he seems unwilling to travel any of those avenues! I told him once, only once I have just turned 40, comfortable with myself and finally more than willing to do anything, and he wants no part of it so that if he EVER did that to me again id never let him touch me again! (now hes done this to me more times than i can count!) I told him the next morning that i was sorry and didnt mean that because i was hurt and upset with him. He still wants to pet and play but never finishes and it is EXTREMELY Frustrating!! of course thoughts of cheating run thru my mind but I could never do it nor hurt him like that just because I was mad hurt and frustrated. I have explained to him that this paxil is the issue. Explained how we have a chance to be back to our sexual selves, yet he fights me and tells me he is sick when he comes off or weans down. SO i guess for him, his choice is the med over me. SO BE IT, but one can only wait so long before my hurt and desires will over take my not wanting to hurt his feelings! when we go to his doctor again SHE is getting an earful!! he already told me not to say anything about reducing his meds to her so she wont reduce the prescription, well I SURE AM!

I don't know, perhaps I am paranoid? You don't sound the least bit paranoid. It sounds as if you have a very good grasp of the situation. Of course, the drug companies want to keep this under wraps, but they won't be able to do so indefinitely. Honorable man or not, if your psychiatrist insists upon basing his entire viewpoint of the matter on the professional literature, rather than taking into account his own patients' experiences, he should go into research for one of the drug companies and stop seeing patients.

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 Thank you for replying!! This is soo frustrating! I have thought about leaving him so many times. If he would just pleasure me, I wouldn't mind. But to get me all excited and then just stop. Just like yours, my husband will stop and say he has to eat something. And then, never come back!!! In reading you email you said you would give the doctor an earful...that will not help your husband and in the long run yourself. I am willing to be understanding to my husband. But I think he has to think about me. He loves food. How would he feel I pulled the plate away from him as he was eating. That's what I feel he does to me with sex. This last incident happened on Monday night. The next day I did twoo things, made an appointment with a doctor who is anit-big pharma And started looking for another guy! I am too scared to tell him about the appointment, because he always gets really mad. I am too proud to cheat. > > My husband does the same thing! youre not alone!

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 What I meant by the earful, is im telling it all, hes never told her about these issues. We assumed it was the narcotics. SO when we see the doc Im going to spill those beans. We have been discussing things and I think hes coming around because the other night he asked ... should i ask the doc for viagra? now, i dont think he needs that so much as take care of the other issue of Reducing the PAXIL!! but he doesnt want to discuss that! hes afraid of the side effects coming off of it. but ive been telling him about the different things he can do, nutritionally and suppliments so I am hoping he is going to make an effort or I might find myself looking around as well. WELL i say that but dont know how far i can be pushed or ignored. I just couldnt imagine doing that to him and causing him that type of hurt > > > > My husband does the same thing! youre not alone!
