Re: One Year On ... and any UK or Polish members?

[Guest guest]

Im from uk. Im female, 35 years old, single. have had no sex drive for over a year thanks to depixol injections which is an anti pychotic medication which i stopped taking a year ago. Going to try wellbutrin to see if that helps.To: SSRIsex Sent: Mon, January 25, 2010 4:16:08 PMSubject: One Year On ... and any UK or Polish members?

I took Prozac for only 2 weeks almost a yaer ago and had to cease taking it because I suffered serious side effects (after only couple days) including severe pain in the genital region. Since then, my life has been a nightmare. I went from being highly sexual to being completely destroyed within only 2 weeks. Now, I don't have the feelings I used to have, I have pain/numbness around genital area every day and it is very difficult often impossible for me to achieve erections. Also, it's affected my bladder control, especially to begin with and, when the symptoms are very bad, I can't feel the muscle that is used to hold urine, which seems to be the same muscle involved in attaining an erection because when symptoms are bad I can't achieve erections because again I cannot feel that muscle working. I was on this site after maybe 3 months of symtoms but couldn't read any more because it was just destroying me to the stage of feeling suicidal. Now, one year on, I still can't believe this has happened to me. Been to GPs in the UK, had all the tests. My Testosterone levels are on the low side and luckily I had a teat done when I was still normal which was about 25% higher but GPs say that this has nothing to do with it. Currently I'm living in Poland for a while and had some neurological tests done while over here but again nothing has shown up. I have now resigned myself to just having to wait and hope for the best. Sometimes symptoms get a little better for maybe 2 weeks but still far from normal, but always afterwards things return even worse than before, and this pattern has continued throughout the year. I no longer feel part of society and find it very difficult socially because the horrible feelings of numbness/pain are a constant reminder of your problem. I feel as though I have to hide it all the time from both women and men. I only took Prozac for 2 WEEKS.

Anyway, I just wanted to know if there are any other members of this group from the UK or Poland to get in touch with, and also does anybody in the UK know of any legal action that is taking place against the manufacturers of these drugs because they have devastated my life and my GP told me they were safe drugs.

That's all for now. Cheers!

The way you have described PSSD is exactly how it is for me - PSSD is a kind of

living death. I remember how I would never look at porn because it would turn me

on too much and feel like a thunderbolt going through me. Now I just find it

completely boring.

Nowadays, meeting an attractive woman is a painful event.

I'm also from the UK.
