Eight weeks of single-blind treatment with placebo was given at the outset to establish a baseline of sexual ratings/behavior and to eliminate placebo responders. Patients were then assigned randomly to 12 weeks of double-blind treatment with bupropion, 225-450 mglday, or matching placebo. The onset of therapeutic sexual effects was gradual, but by the end of 12 weeks of treatment, significantly greater improvements were noted on the libido and global assessments of sexual functioning in the bupropion group. Sixty-three percent of the bupropion-treated patients reported themselves much or very much improved, compared with 3% for placebo. Changes in the frequency of sexual behavior, however, were much less dramatic and consisted largely of trends toward more sexual activity. To our knowledge, these results represent the first demonstration in a well-controlled clinical trial of an improvement in the psychological aspects of sexual dysfunction due to Sixty female and male outpatients with psychosexual dysfunction (sexual aversion/inhibited sexual desire, inhibited sexual excitement, and/or inhibited orgasm) participated in a comparison of the efficacy of bupropion hydrochloride vs placebo.

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 I have been single for about ten years now. About twelve years ago I met this guy at work and fell inlove with him, but my boyfriend who id been with for seven years,since I was sixteen, well he got me pregnant, then told me he was going to leave me for another girl, so I had an abortion which Iv regretted ever since, well after the abortion I couldnt face going back to work and seeing the guy I loved and so I left and I never saw him again, well I swear iv been in love with him ever since and have only dated once since then. well they were such wonderful feelings that they were making me so happy inside, until last year when I was injected with depixol and now all those feelings have gone away along with the sexual dysfunction I have. I feel so depressed now and just want those wonderful feelings back again. I recently found the guy on facebook but iv not spoken to him, he has a girlfriend now and im sure he wouldnt have been interested anyway, but I cant face life anymore having no feelings when before I had so much beautiful feelings inside me. Im 35 and have no children i live with my parents but I did have a flat of my own for a while and then I had this severe paranoia and one day I went to my parents house and was behaving a bit hysterical, next thing i know she had phoned the police and they took me away to a mental hospital, where they forced me to take risperidone injections for several months until i told them i was having no periods but I did still have my sex drive until they changed my medication to depixol and then I lost all my feelings, i still wasnt having periods so after about a month of depixol they changed my meds again to ariprizole in tablet form, well they let me out of the hospital now and I didnt take the ariprizole for long because i was worried the damage it was doing, my periods did come back but my sex drive never returned and Im sure it was caused by the depixol. these are anti pychotic medications by the way not ssris but i could only find this forum. sorry to go on but I just wanted to tell some of my story to others. I feel so depressed my life was hard enough before but now I just want to feel how I used to feel that is all I care about, my life before is nothing compared to how I feel now, I would rather be paranoid and inlove with feelings than living this terrible existance I am living now.

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Has anybody noticed that drinking alcohol doesnt do anything. I mean every time I have a drink it taste really strong and it makes me feel sick but even if I drink it it doesnt make me feel drunk or give me any kind of high like it used to. since taking wellbutrin it has become slightly more tolerable but still no drunken feeling. I have to stop drinking it now im on the wellbutrin. I did have slightly more sexual feelings earlier tonight, found myself thinking about sex so I masturbated but as always the orgasm was just really weak, it seemed a little more enjoyable than useral and i orgasmed more easily than before, but there still appears to be very little sensation atall.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Hi Im so sorry to hear that you have been suffering with this for such a long time. I really hope too that it heals with time, but for some reason I dont hold out much hope. Iv not found many other people affected by this either and have searched the net the same as you and only found a few others, I wonder if like you say that many people have not spoken about it. I had my prolactin levels tested and they were slighly high, they have gone down from last year when they were very high, im not sure if this makes any difference or not. Im trying wellbutrin at the moment, its proberly not a good idea to try another drug but iv become so desperate. have you ever tried bromocriptine? I heard this was suposed to lower prolactin levels, I may try this next if the wellbutrin dont work. Thanks for your support and for writting back, I will pray for you also. To: SSRIsex Sent: Sun, February 7, 2010 9:52:23 PMSubject: Re: wellbutrin Hi ,I think I know what you're going through. I too was forced to take neuroleptics. I too lost all those good feelings, the first time for a couple of years, after I took myself off of Haldol and Cogentin, and then, years later, PERMANENTLY, after being given Haldol and Cogentin while a nursing mom and then taking myself off the drugs again.I have been off neuroleptics for 26 yrs.now, and I don't take any other medications, just a good multi-vitamin and 1000 Units of vitamin E daily. I also eat mostly whole foods, lots of fresh vegetables, and have learned how to avoid getting sleep deprived, which I believe, in my case at least, was the cause of my delusional behavior. I believe that jogging around the block helped me overcome my depression naturally by producing endorphin. I have been searching for a long time for any studies done on the kind of loss you and I have experienced, but to no avail. Also I have searched for others like us who are outspoken enough to talk about it, but I've only found a couple. (There MUST be A LOT more.) Therefore I joined this group too, even if my experience was NOT with SSRIs.I hope that for you it is not a permanent loss. As you will see if you read my text video, the feelings came back to me the first time. It could be that, later, since I was a nursing mother (who, according to the PDR at that time, was NOT supposed to be given Haldol), I may have had a sudden rush of too much prolactin. I don't know enough about this yet, but as I understand it so far, dopamine inhibits prolactin, but when you are given a drug that prohibits dopamine, prolactin is released, and in my case I was ALREADY producing quite a lot by nursing.Here is my story on You Tube:http://www.youtube. com/user/ Kay1948I hope that you will be able to go off the drugs and find empowerment with in yourself so that you can heal. You will be in my prayers.Sincerely, > >> > Just asked for a copy of my prolactin levels and they said they were slightly raised, they have gone down from last year when they were alot more raised. > > > > > > > > > > ____________ _________ _________ __> > From: melaniegoode50 <melaniegoode50@ ...>> > To: SSRIsex@yahoogroups .com> > Sent: Thu, January 21, 2010 10:35:17 PM> > Subject: wellbutrin> > > > > > I was on depixol injections and have had no sex drive for over a year now after stopping depixol.> > Had a blood test today to test prolactin levels and it came back normal.> > Im going to try Wellbutrin, I have ordered some off the internet, wont be here for a couple of weeks.> > will keep you posted on my progress..> >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 I took anti depressants a couple of times when I was a bit younger, cant remember which ones they were now, they didnt take away my sex drive but they made me put on about four stone in weight, I was twenty seven at the time and have never been able to get back my size ten figure. I only weighed about nine stone now I weight about 13 stone, most of it has gone on my stomach, it also caused my breasts to sag slightly as they got fatter, and also I grew some hairs on my breasts that have never gone away, I keep shaving them off with a razer but they keep growing back.

Its good that your doing something really worthwhile Im glad that you have something to do that you enjoy.

It showed her sitting in front of a TV and not wanting to go out and be with people. The drugs she was taking weren't working so they gave her ECT (shock treatments). I thought it was very sad to give them to someone so young, since they produce brain damage.(My mother was given them and she permanently lost her memories of when we were young children.)If I were that teenaged girl's mom I'd turn off the TV and encourage my daughter to find something useful to do, like volunteer at a hospital in a children's ward, or with the elderly, or perhaps with the disabled. Working with the disabled has helped ME realize how very blessed I still am, and working with children is wonderful.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Hi Im so sorry to hear of your bad experiences, I felt the same urge to pace backwards and fowards when I was taking medications. I am not currently taking the anti pychotic medications, I stopped taking them a year ago, but Iv been taking the anti depressant wellbutrin for 3 weeks now in the hope of improving my pssd. Im sorry to hear about the young girl, that is a terrible thing to happen. I understand how you feel about wanting to take your life I have also felt this way quite often. sounds like the other lady had the best idea by not taking the meds atall, I am surposed to be taking anti pychotic medications by law because I am on a community treatment order, which means I have to take medications, but I have not been taking them for a year now.. I am pleased you met such a supportive husband, I wish I could meet somebody nice like that lol I dont do much during the day, only watch tv, I live with my parents and my mum who doesnt work either is at home with me all day, I did live alone in a lovely flat until I became ill and was put in hospital and then I lost my flat which Im very sad about I sometimes like to make bathbombs and I play the piano, and used to like reading but since having pssd Iv lost interest in all of those things. All I tend to do is watch tv and use the internet. Where do you live by the way? dont think you mentioned it, I live in Warwick, in the UK. Mel To: SSRIsex Sent: Thu, February 11, 2010 8:41:33 PMSubject: Re: wellbutrin Hi Mel,I was thinking of the time I had my first breakdown. I felt so bad on the drugs that I was looking for a way of hanging myself down in my parents' basement. I had asked to be weaned off Haldol and Cogentin, but was told (by my MOTHER"S psychiatrist! ) that I would always have to take anti-psychotics. It was then that I prayed. I asked God, if he were real, to help me out of this or I would surely have to commit suicide. I could not function on these drugs. For one thing, I couldn't stay awake during the day, but slept on and off, a sleep which gave me technicolor nightmares. While I was awake I felt the urge to constantly pace back and forth (I think it's called akathesia). How could I ever work? What would become of me?After praying (in Jesus' name as I had been taught as a child), I noticed two women in the outpatient program I was sent to. One was a pretty 17 yr. old, who seemed very down. When we were taken to a gym, she just sat in the corner looking down at her shoes. I asked if she wanted to shoot some baskets with me. She said no, and then went on to tell me how she had been institutionalized at a very young age, and the only interest she could tell me was that she liked shoes.Well, a short time later, I came to program and my worker was crying. That young lady I'd been talking to was dead. She had hung herself.The other woman I noticed seemed well. She wasn't a zombie like everybody else. She smiled freely, had gotten a job, was engaged to be married, and, when we went on a camping trip, she fried bacon for all of us. I went up to her one day and asked what her secret was. She asked me not to tell anyone, but she was NOT taking her meds. She was taking vitamins instead.That was when I took myself off cold turkey the first time, and didn't have another break until after the birth of my second child, six years later. I couldn't sleep for about a week because my children woke me up at night and wouldn't take naps at the same time during the day. Then again I went off cold turkey after a week or two.I think, though, as Dr. Breggin says, that there might be a danger in going off some of these drugs cold turkey. It is probably best to do it gradually, and under the supervision of supportive and knowledgable people. I am very blessed to have had a friend who believed in me the first time. This friend went on to become my husband.And you, what do you do during the day? Have you any interests or hobbies that might help take your mind off your loss? Is there someone you could trust to help you off the drugs? > > > > >> > > > > Just asked for a copy of my prolactin levels and they said they were slightly raised, they have gone down from last year when they were alot more raised. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > ____________ _________ _________ __> > > > > From: melaniegoode50 <melaniegoode50@ ...>> > > > > To: SSRIsex@yahoogroups .com> > > > > Sent: Thu, January 21, 2010 10:35:17 PM> > > > > Subject: wellbutrin> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > I was on depixol injections and have had no sex drive for over a year now after stopping depixol.> > > > > Had a blood test today to test prolactin levels and it came back normal.> > > > > Im going to try Wellbutrin, I have ordered some off the internet, wont be here for a couple of weeks.> > > > > will keep you posted on my progress..> > > > >> > > >> > >> >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 Hi How nice to live near the coast, it must seem weird driving on the other side of the road lol , where in the UK did you visit? Iv never been to America, I have only travelled abroad once and that was to the Baleric Islands. I was injected with Risperidone while I was in the hospital for about 3 months, and my sex drive was normal throughout this time, but my periods had stopped so I told the doctors and they switched my medication to Depixol, I was on this about two months and my periods still did not come back, It was during this time that I was on the Depixol that I realised my sexdrive was gone also, so I can only imagine that the Depixol caused it, I stopped taking this and my periods came back but my sex drive did not. I was out of the hospital by then and they gave me aripripzole tablets to take, lucky it was not another injection so I didnt have to take it. They dont know Im not taking it. Yes its wonderful to have a computer and its great to be able to chat so easily with people in other countries. I noticed also how much my typing skills have improved. I dont sell the bathbombs but I do give them as presents to my friends. I used to love my piano but no longer want to play anymore. I used to play the guitar also but I wasnt very good, I think it takes lots of practice. I am on facebook, are you?
