Re: Some good news

[Guest guest]

Perhaps over time through exercise and sauna treatments, the drug

residues were cleared out from your body, which has allowed your

brain to recover.

One thing I don't think I mentioned - I noticed usually the day after

a sauna treatment it would feel like I was back on Celexa for a brief

while - I had that drugged feeling that I remember from 3 years of

taking celexa. The feeling would usually pass after a day or so and I

would feel much better. Maybe this is due to the point Vornan made

earlier - that the chemicals are being purged from the body - my body

is reacting to the increase of drug residues into my bloodstream.

This information about your feet mighy be relevant information. When

PSSD research will have started I hope you will contact the

researchers to write them your story. I hope now you already will

write down many relevant data for later research, including to what

the smell of your feet resembled. What did it smell like? Your story

might contain the key to curing PSSD. You are important.

You could now already ask your doctor what possibly has been the cause

and diagnosis of your smelly feet. That possible diagnosis guide later

research.

What might possibly be the cause of this gain?

Any detail can be relevant in tracking the cure. If we're smart enough

and lucky, we might get a clue of the cause and cure of PSSD. It's

like being Sherlock holmes. Suspense on Yahoo...

-Luther,

How much niacin were you taking during the detox? And did you

monitor your liver enzymes while you were on it?

Hi Vornan -

I began taking 150mg, but dropped to 75mg after only a few days. At

150mg, the niacin " flush " was pretty strong - my whole body would

turn red and itchy. This would last for a couple hours. At 75mg, the

flush was much milder. I've read that the flush is actually good for

you, as it is a sign of detox (the capillaries are expanding and

increasing blood flow).

I did not monitor liver enzymes. I read in a couple of places that

you only need to worry if you are taking more than 300mg daily. I

don't think I'd ever take that much. I may do another course in a

month or so. To be honest, the flush at 75mg actually feels pretty

good.

Hi again,

an update is in order. I went back to the gym after being lazy for over

two weeks. Being very happy for regaining almost all of my sexuality

I " dropped the hammer " good and trained legs. I did some heavy squats

and felt the effect for three days. Every single muscle in my lower

body was in pain!

So the workout was good, but it had an unexpected effect on my libido.

The next day I felt my genital sensitivity getting worse. Pretty soon

after I lost most of my libido and the ability to feel sexual pleasure

diminished. My feet started sweating again. I did not go back to square

one this time, but I did lose a lot of the recent progress.

I did two more workouts the following days (the last one today) and it

seems that working out is somehow connected to the way I feel sexually.

I does indeed seem like the workout pushed some SSRI-residue into my

bloodstream!

The absolutely great seven days I had were the last days of my break

from training. As I started lifting heavy again, I felt a setback. But

not as bad as the ones I've had before.

Could it be that we still have some ingredient of SSRI's trapped inside

our system? Working out or running may help you get rid of it, making

the symptoms worse at first as the stuff get's into bloodstream and

then slowly enhancing the recovery as the stuff get's out of the body..?

Now this is just a theory. But somehow it makes a lot of sense.

I will not stop training to see if my libido re-emerges. Instead I'll

train hard and eat clean for the next six months. I'll go through a

strict diet, just like I was preparing for a bodybuilding contest. I'll

get rid of all the " baby-fat " in my body and let's see if that helps.

This setback that I'm currently having is not that big a deal to me...

Before, when I had a bad day I was completely numb sexually, now I

still have a weak libido and perfectly normal orgasms.

Now I'm just waiting for the next good (or hopefully even better)

episode.

delivers much more blood the genital region and can make you feel

Biker,

Thank you for posting this story. It is very important information

for the masses, becuase I recently had the same situation happen to

me. I had a spike in my libido and genital sensitivity, shortly after

discontinuing a mirapex trial. It seemed like the sensitivity was

hanging around longer than normal, and I decided to start my fitness

routine for the new year. I did a full body workout, HARDCORE, which

left me sore for about a week. Starting the day after my workout, my

libido dropped to zero, like negative two, my sensitivity dropped to

the worst its ever been, and hasnt really gotten better. I'm going to

keep trying to workout and see if I can't flush the rest of this

poison outof my body. Biker, when you drop back to numbness, is your

penis Physically numb as well. Literally, my penis loses sensitivity

physically, to the point where i don't feel much cold from ice cubes.

Its like the nerves die or stop working, and orgasm feels pleasureless.

Keep up the posting man! Thanks

[Guest guest]

you said you lots sensitivity to an ice cube, is this just the tip of

your penis or the shaft as well?

i brought this up a while ago here's the link.

That's really great news! It's always good to hear that someone

has got over this horrible condition.

I have now been completely medication free for about 8 months (been off

SSRI's for about 18 months) and have tried quite a few things to

help with my PSSD (exercise, 2000mg of omega-3 fish oil daily, etc.).

Although I have seen slight improvements, it's still far from

normal.

I got quite excited after reading the post a while ago about a guy being

cured of PSSD through Traditional Chinese Medicine, so I thought

`what the hell' and visited the TCM doctor not far from here. I

told him all about my anxiety, depression and also tried to explain the

sexual problems I was experiencing after taking SSRI's but I'm

not sure if he fully understood. Much like other doctors that practice

western medicine, he put it down to the anxiety and depression. He

suggested I give acupuncture a try, and although it didn't really

help with things like erections or genital numbness, I have felt

generally better over the past few weeks. I've been more positive,

relaxed, cheerful , etc. One time after I had acupuncture I even managed

to get a whole night's sleep without waking up, which hasn't

happened in over a year!

I did try some medicine which was supposed to help with anxiety and

depression, but it was quite expensive so wasn't able to take it for

that long and I'm not sure if it had any effect. I have another

appointment with him tomorrow for acupuncture and will see if he can

offer some other medicine or herbs that can help with the PSSD. I'm

just not really sure what to ask for... I could print off your post, but

his English isn't too great and I'm not sure if he would

understand it all! I will try to find out more about the

medicine/supplements this lady took and discuss them with him tomorrow.

If anyone has any advice on how to explain PSSD to the doctor, please

feel free to share

I think if somebody recovers within a few months of coming off SSRIs it's hard

to say whether they really had PSSD or not, especially for some drugs like

prozac, which take several weeks to be eliminated from the body. But any

recovery is good, and these herbs should be investigated. Thanks for forwarding

the info.
