Guest guest Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 Hey. I've got what seems to be a fairly complicated interaction with SSRI and side effects. I've had the standard gamut of symptoms since I was 16 and started trying to have orgasms. I noticed that I would only be able to have them if I waited every week and a half or two before each attempt. Now, I'd say I have a decent libido, and even though I would have thoroughly unenjoyable experiences, I would keep finishing regardless. I couldn't stick with the whole week and a half schedule, despite the benefits it would provide me. Now, this is when it gets complicated. Around the same time- I can't say whether it was before or afterward, I started to take Paxil. I took this for about half a year, and the symptoms I mentioned continued until- well, today. I've also been on and off myriad other SSRIs in an attempt to cure my anxiety and depression, the extent of which I can't even remember completely. I'm currently taking Cymbalta and Buspirone, with no change to my sensation. I guess my question is: what can be done to make things better? I'd like information as technical as possible, I've had some experience studying neurotransmitters and biology of the brain in college so at the very least I'll be able to grasp the basics. What is the chemical reaction that's malfunctioning here? Why does it seem that if I wait for two weeks, things will be okay for about 3 or 4 days?
