Re: Going back on SSRI report

[Guest guest]

Wow! Great for you. I wish i could get that old feeling back; but iam happy for

you. I hope it continues. I went back on Sertraline 3 months ago but it seems to

be getting worse as far as my libido goes but my mood is better. Please keep us

posted.

while on the drug, but the dramatic decrease happened when I stopped the

drug(about 18 months ago). I had most of the common symptoms.

decided to try adding ssri because I knew my recovery was going nowhere. So I

started cipralex 5mg. The first day I took it happened to me the weirdest thing.

I was masturbating and it was about as usual but the orgasm was very, very odd.

It was perhaps the most intense orgasm I ever had, but not the most pleasurable.

I felt it in all of my body except my penis, and the sensation wasn't of a usual

orgasm, it felt much more of the feeling you get when you need to take a dump,

but 100 times more intense. That freaked the shit out of me...

weak I started getting aroused when seeing hot girls(which had not really

happened since PSSD). I started to actually feel the need to masturbate(which

again, never rly had since pssd) instead of forcing myself to. And masturbation

became much more pleasurable, erection firmer, ejaculation more " powerful " penis

and testicles more sensible, etc.

effexor)I must have jacked off about 10 times in the last week(I guess I am

enjoying it while it`s there since it`s been so long) . I get morning erections

also. The other day I was in a store and saw a hot girl and I got horny, that

hadn`t happen in a long time.

I think it's great. You're very brave too.I'm not sure this will work for everyone, but maybe we can put the notion of permanent brain damage to rest.

So a month ago I took the gamble of my life, going back on SSRI in hope to help my pssd.

Background: I was on effexor 300mg for about a year, mild libido decrease while on the drug, but the dramatic decrease happened when I stopped the drug(about 18 months ago). I had most of the common symptoms.

Yea well I guess it's more of a permanent neurotransmitter imbalance. The first

pill was really hard to take indeed. Going to 10mg is also pretty scary, I've

been wanting to do it for a week but each day I find an excuse lol
