Re: Drugs or Love? Helen Fisher

[Guest guest]

I was inlove with someone and after the drugs I fell out of love, I can still remember what it felt like but not the same thing really. Would give anything to get that feeling back again.

Helne Fisher, a biologist who specialises in the chemistry of love, desribes how antidepressants not only kill your sex drive but also your abilty to fall in love. She fears that in the future millions of people will be unable to fall in love. I sent her the Dr Stuart Shipko film.

Thanks Kaivey for the interesting video and for contacting Dr Fisher regarding PSSD.

Dr Helen Fisher's contact info and e-mail address is on her website where anyone interested can contact her about their PSSD.

BTW, SSRIs also reduce testosterone levels in addition to the dopamine (Dr Goldstein is on the right track with his protocol).

These are quotes of Dr no (based in Monterey, California) on one forum who is very knowledgable on hormones and neurotransmitters:

"Testosterone can increase dopamine levels in the brain."

"Testosterone has several actions, such as:1. Increasing dopamine production in the brain."

An interesting study:

Restoration of sexual behavior and dopaminergic neurotransmission by long term exogenous testosterone replacement in aged male rats

The restoration by testosterone replacement of dopaminergic activity in the MPOA may be involved in the maintenance of sexual function in aged rats.

Psychiatrists are alreaady trying to discredit Dr Helen Fisher's reseach. This is one uphill battle, they are not going to give in easily -there is too much money in it. Extract below:

University of California at Los Angeles psychiatrist Leuchter acknowledged that increasing serotonin can decrease dopamine, but has not seen difficulties in forming emotional attachments among his patients. "I've seen people who have great difficulty with their emotional attachments, who think they've fallen out of love or want to isolate themselves, come alive again," said Leuchter, who receives funding from antidepressant drugmakers. "I'm not sure the syndrome [Fisher and Thomson] describe exists."

Thomson and Fisher, on the other hand, report the opposite: antidepressant takers who've lost the capacity for romantic feeling.

Great link Kaivey. And Psychiatrists can't control the internet.

Here is a thread started in 2007 and still going strong, with over 14,00
