Anyone else have this?
Recently (4 months ago) came off Lexapro and my sex drive plummeted to about 10% I haven't been able to orgasm since and my emotions are severely blunted. Shits bad man. lost lots of energy and motivation and as a result, all of my lifts have stalled. And to make matters worse it seems that this condition is permanent...
Chemical castration from antidepressants. (PSSD)
Was of effexor years ago and couldn't get it up while on it probably for 6 months after. Currently on 10 mg of lexapro and I feel like a 15 year old again and just want to fap, sometimes have to do it twice a day. Just give it some time and it should start to come back. Probably the best to try and fine some girl to pump n dump to get you back into it
Pump and dumping some thot isn’t going to revive your libido. The key to a truly enormous erection is emotional connection and energy.
I broke a year-long noporn streak and couldn't cum
Went to local pool as I do to swim and none of the speedo wearing females even made my dick twitch. Usually, I have to obsessively look away for fear of pitching a tent in my trucks.
I think I'm fucked brahs, don't make the same mistakes as me...
>trusting the pharmaceutical jew
you depressed shitters are better off roiding
I'm afraid nofap turned you homosex user. I see much cock sucking in your future.
It's not permanent. You need to exercise frequently, I'm talking twice a day frequently, not 3 a week shit. Obviously sleep regularly, and I mean to the quarter of an hour regularly. Get your blood tested and check your hormones. They're not the problem here, but they could be part of the solution. Get as much social contact as you can. Like go to a park/toastmaster's/social club daily. That's the groundwork.
The real kickstart is more drugs. Ask your doctor about the new Glutamate antidepressants. Basically, they're just ketamine and various other anesthetics and recreational drugs that have just been approved for depression. You snort them, and then 45min later, you're happy. Also, take viagra for your dick.
im on
2mg valdoxan
1 mg rivotril
2 mg pristiq
a day and fuck i just wanna kill people along with myself now
The jew got you, man
>he got got

You really think the Jews would push anti-depressants on whites if they knew it lowered white birth rate?
Let me play devil's advocate for you when it comes to antidepressants.
98% of the time, you do not need them. Yes, depression is real. Yes, a lot of us get sad and think about suicide and how worthless we are. We compare our worst qualities to other people's best qualities and think, 'fuck, why can't I be successful/smart/funny/have a gf/have a good job/etc.' But antidepressants DON'T FIX THOSE THINGS.
Antidepressants numb you down. They take your emotional range and compress it to extend from mild sadness to mild happiness. Every time you feel like you would have been upset about something, you just end up getting frustrated. Every time you feel like you would have been really happy or proud about something, it's a fleeting emotion of momentary worth that doesn't resonate within you. You don't forge lifelong memories except your blowouts from the rare occasion you lose complete control and spiral into a panic attack or something.
But if you STOP taking the antidepressants after starting, all the negative emotions come rushing back in full force. Complete worthlessness, the endless chasm of incompetence, suicidal thoughts. All these suppressed things just expel themselves systematically from your brain because antidepressants don't fix these things They are drugs that help you ignore them or keep your emotional range under control.
But it does get better. Depending on how long you took them for, it can take around a year to really feel like you've come back to the person you used to be. But it will shine through in little things. Maybe you'll eat something in the future and think 'wow, that is really fucking good' and, you might not realize it, but that's just one of those things that make you feel like you again. Maybe you'll watch a movie and get really nostalgic or you'll see a new game or coming out and get really excited. Those emotions are things that antidepressants also keep under wraps. The downsides are just much more blunt
One way SSRIs fuck with you by increasing prolactin, a dopamine antagonist. Prolactin, incidentally, is also what your body produces immediately after orgasm that kills your boner. One supplement that can reduce levels of prolactin is Mucuna pruriens. M. pruriens contains L-DOPA, or levodopa. L-DOPA has been associated with reducing levels of prolactin and increasing dopamine, alongside a few other sex-related effects. Now, I'm not going to recommend this to you because I'm not a fucking doctor, and I believe you should research it yourself, but in my anecdotal (read: statistically insignificant) experience, after being fucked up from SSRI treatment, M. pruriens extract helped me out. That isn't to say that it's a miracle drug. If you're not taking care of yourself otherwise, you might not see a big effect.

Regarding the last link: I thought it was important you and anyone else interested in this supplement should know about LID.

This study looked at LID and cites another study (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Stop taking drugs and hoping they fix your problems you absolute retards
this
just drink and smoke like the rest of us
unironically this
sounds like it is working as intended. what's the problem?
So glad I made sure the psychologist knew I wasn't having any of their shit and ended up getting out of there without being fucked up on any drugs all those years ago when I was a little kid.
I'm still depressed but at least I'm not a fucking sterile drug addict.
Zoloft had me unable to orgasm while on it, when I got off I couldn't get hard for a while. Give it time, you'll bounce back.
>But if you STOP taking the antidepressants after starting, all the negative emotions come rushing back in full force.
Just... no.
The whole point of antidepressants is to be able to process your emotions more rationally, so when you get off of them you don't get the blowback. That's the whole point of psychotherapy+drugs combo.
The emotional instability is bound to happen for a couple of weeks while your serotonin levels go back to normal, but shit, if you just used your antidepressants to keep shit under wraps and not work on it, you messed up homie
>hey bro take this shit they take for parkinsons disease to fix your dick
This fucking website...
Did you go off your meds on your psychiatrists advice or on your own? If your shrink told you to go off of them, talk to him, let him know what's going on. If you did it on your own, you're a stupid fuck, so go talk to your shrink.
...
I just wanna say it works. I’ve been taking this stuff for a while now
This is the same guy that won't use antifungals on any part of his body except for his feet because the tube says "athlete's foot"
I was told that antidepressants would make me less anxious. I wasn't told that they'd do that by making me emotionally numb and essentially castrating me
Can't remember what the doc told me but I read that even a couple doses can induce permanent personality and sexual function changes so I don't really give one flying fuck what my GP said. I'm seeing her soon tho
based mass shooter poster
definitely feel like my personality changed on/post SSRI treatment. sucks but I've learned to live with it. not sure I'll ever return to normal
lexapro makes me hungry as fuck
makes me want to vomit
This. SSRI's will destroy you.
already have
>off them for over half a year
>still get all the side effects
At this point I might as well go for the 30 years old wizard meme since my dick doesn't even work anymore
what side effects?
I too am interested
Take bupropion instead.
Fuck antidepressants and fuck the health system.
I spent years thinking I had ADHD and Aspergers. Bloods showed clear and I was convinced the brain fog was permanent.
During my Summer cut, I realised I felt better than ever before and the chronic fatigue had gone, but 2 weeks after bulking it all came back again.
Despite bloods showing clear, turns out gluten fucked me up hard. Started to do research into microbiome and food. Turns out the Western diet is the reason why anxiety, depression and ADHD diagnostics are above the roof.
It fucks out gut flora and lining, so histamine and shit gets released into our bodies. The symptoms most of us have are down to inflammation.
Our digestive health is DIRECTLY linked to our mental health. As fucking stupid as I thought it sounded at first, there are even studies that can now confirm this.
Paleo diet is your best friend OP. It's hard as fuck to pull off; especially if you're bulking, the mental changes will happen within a month (make sure you're getting enough sunlight too).
apparently hippocrates knew this shit 2500 years ago. meanwhile modern doctors are still treating symptoms as opposed to causal factors
already knew this but current living situation makes paleo impossible (oil field)
>On Antidepressants for years
>Started to still feel depressed
>Craved alcohol like all hell
>Depression gets bad, try to drink myself to death
>Spent months binge drinking 3-5 days a week
>Get off the pills
>Actually feel happier
>Get drinking down to one day a week
>Now once I get that first beer in me there is no stopping me
How the fuck do I fix this shit
I hope this user is right and I start to feel like a normal person again
Stop drinking entirely.
Why do you say that? I know I have a problem and need to fix it but holy fuck its so hard when thats what my friends do
oh holy fuck checked
Can't believe doctors actually prescribe this shit
I am that user, on the three years I spent being tossed from pill to pill I probably tried three different antidepressants and two to three other pills to help counter the side effects. Was a really shit period in my life and they really fucked me over emotionally
>nofap on ez mode
>released from the chains of pornography
>somehow this is a problem
Seems to be the right thread to ask in, has anyone here tried an SNRI for anxiety/depression? Not an SSRI, but an SNRI? What's the difference anyway? Just affects an extra chemical ssris don't touch?
Cant say I have tried them, is that something you are looking into?
I got prescribed one by my doc last week actually, been really paranoid over starting em. It's called Bupropion. Supposedly has no affect on libido (if anything it'll raise libido since depression can kill or lessen it,) and well, I don't know anything else about it. My main issue is that I have some sort of anxiety disorder, 2nd issue is I have high functioning depression. Doc seemed to think this was the best option for me especially considering I already have pretty much no libido to begin with. Been that way over a year now, since I quit smoking pot.
Ritalin broke my dick, stopped me dreaming, ruined my sense of smell.
Almost been five years since I first took it, three since I stopped and still the issues remain. Not one doctor has heard of stim-dick or helps at all.
My testosterone is in the 900s. I've woken with morning wood only five times in the last five years. This shit shouldn't be happening.
Doctors tell me it's anxiety or I watch too much porn! Fucking hate them.
Im not a doctor, just some retard who took biochem and psych classes at a community college so I cant help because I dont recall ever taking those pills but I am super biased against any antidepressants after what I went through. Can you talk to the doc at all bout your concerns? That or maybe try them for a month and see how you feel
Oh believe me, I have talked with her a lot about them. Talked to two pharmacists as well, and in a little under a month I'm going to see a psychiatrist so, should learn all I need to know then. Can't help but be paranoid as shit over them, first time ever taking something that affects brain chemistry in the way this stuff does. Thankfully I can split my pills in half for awhile starting out so I'm taking even less than like half what a lot of people start out on. Somehow that eases my paranoia over taking a new drug.
I’d say you’re right to be paranoid, most of the antidepressants I took made me act like a gigantic asshole and piss my friends off. Wasn’t until one called me out that I got off of them. If you start radically changing your behavior get off the fuckers ASAP. Sounds like you’re being smart and really researching them too though
Lmao, what? I've never heard or read about them causing someone to be a dickhead, irritable yeah but a complete asshole? Huh. Guess they do even more than I thought.
Well no not your pills specifically. I was on antidepressants that really made me drowsy. I got put on a pill to go with it to make me more alert and focused. One of the side effects being that it can really alter your mood. I’d wake up grinding my teeth and just really be angry for no fucking reason most of the day and just want to break shit. Told my psychiatrist and I was taken right off of them
there's quite a lot of evidence that SSRI's actually cause people to become more aggressive. Personally made me want to tear throats out at points
I did sertraline or zoloft for about 8 months and while it did reduce my dicks sensation it did not make me unable to get it hard
Anyone else like this guy and have antidepressants make you crave alcohol?
Ritalin did to me, same with sugar and weed and I'd only ever craved weed before. I loathe booze.
Oof. Yeah I don't want that lol... I could use increased aggression or well, assertiveness but not full on anger.
Sounds fun!
I was a passive aggressive dick to my friends and an even shittier person to random people, it really is something you do not want. I still can’t forgive myself for how I treated people on those pills
Not that guy but paroxetine left me perpetually thirsty.
It's not the worst side effect one could suffer from but I easily drink 4 liters of water a day (and no, it's not diabetes).
I had all types of antidepressants
It made me more stable, stopped being so narcissistic or whatever but I also stopped giving a shit about my uni grades too. Anyway
try to listen to this audiobook , 150~mb on the netz
I was going to add .. my dick doesn't work as it did before like the others here
Viagra and the other stronger one are crucial now for us to be honest
Just dont let the girl know you popping them lol.
I was on Zoloft until my very Jewish therapist (who did not prescribe it) told me to get the fuck off it because it supresses test and has a shitton of other horrible side-effects and was basically made for menopausal women.
Instead he recommended plenty of excercise, a healthy diet, honest communication with people around me, appreciation for and time spent with my family and loved ones, and lastly some therapy. Above all working to fix my practical issues. Cured now, btw, this was years ago. Based Jew made me stop hating the jews with his advice and support, total bro. Didn't even charge me for the therapy, said he could do it for free if I agreed he could use my case for research.
Damn user glad to hear it all worked out
