Congratulations on your improvement. Whatever works is good. Not to second guess, but this is from an earlier email from you couple of months ago, when you said that exercise, meditation and ginko helped your recover from PSSD. So, I'm confused about why you are taking Wellbutrin now if you have recovered. Your would help us a lot. I tried wellbutrin before and after 2 days of improvement, it went downhill again. Hope it works for you. The 300mg SR was probably too high for me or something.

I figured I'd write this post since I've finally been seeing some improvements with PSSD.First I wanna say I think PSSD is partly physiological but mostly psychological. I think our brains have been hardwired incorrectly after getting off meds and now we have to work hard to wire them correctly...So anyways this is what I've been doing and I've improved by 75% id say.Fish oil - 2 to 4 grams a dayGinkgo - 120 milligramsCocoa powder mixed into hot water - I drink about 2 cups a day.Intense exercise an hour a dayand lastly meditation for like 20 min a day and positive thinking. I read this book called You Can Heal Your Life and it was based on the idea that our thoughts can affect our body's physical condition over time. So I started intense positive thinking with

affirmations. Basically trying to trick my mind into viewing everything as pleasurable and positive.With all this I fixed the physical problem of erection 100% and orgams by about 70%I really believe our brain chemistry is messed up after meds but by changing thought patterns I think we can change our brains. And then of course exercise and the supplements to heal the physical problem of blood flow.Hope this helps anyone even if a little bit.

I went cold turkey off a high dose of Effexor I had taken for 2 years and a low dose of Wellbutrin about 6 years ago.I had mild PSSD but within the past year or year and a half it got alot worse. I had genital anasthesia and my orgasms felt like nothing. Also no response to visual stimuli it all looked the same and was boring. Yesterday with Wellbutrin I definitely felt my brain being able to react to visual stimuli. I've tried a ton of natural supplements, ginkgo, fish oil, tyrosine, theanine, health drinks, B12 nothing worked. Yohimbe worked a bit but was crazy. My dick grew like an inch and I regained feeling but then my orgasm was a mix of pleasure and pain and afterwards I felt like I had pins and needles stabbing it.I'm just wondering how the heck one could get the benefit of Wellbutrin without having to take it. I think we'd need a constant influx of dopamine like positive social interaction, taking risks with positive

outcomes, etc. Which I know many on here do not do because of depression.> >> > I finally got my doctor to give me a prescription for Wellbutrin XL. I've been taking 300 mg every morning.> > > > It's made me a little more compulsive at times and irritable but last night after 4 days

With wellbutrin you need to wait a little. Give it couple of weeks.

I spoke too soon about the improvement with the ginkgo, meditation, and all of that. While it helped a little I quickly found that I slipped right back into PSSD. But compared to how I feel now that improvement was minor. The only problem now with Wellbutrin is insomnia and racing thoughts. It sucks that what works for one thing messes up something else.> > >> > > I finally got my doctor to give me a prescription for Wellbutrin XL.
