Re: Sertraline reinstatement
Unfortunately, my libido and anesthesia are not really persistent.
Currently it's like that: I take 10 mg of Sertraline, and my libido goes up and anesthesia is much less. Then after 2 hours, the effects are more or less gone.
So it's like a motor that does not start... You turn the key, and the motor is somehow alive and makes ratteling noises, but doesn't really start.
I don't drink, and I don't smoke anyways.
Depression and sexuality are totally independed for me, but thanks for asking.

Re: Sertraline reinstatement
It's really difficult for me to find the right amount.
Today, I have used 5 mg each 1.5 hours because I wanted to give myself a constant feed of the medication.
At some point, it worked really nicely on my sexuality. I felt a bit horny.
Then watching porn felt great.
My orgasm was great, I yelled when I came, and the ejaculation width and volume was big.
It's still not where it used to be.
It feels like small windows only where libido suddenly appears for a short amount of time. but at least it's not totally hopeless.
And my chronic fatigue is gone, so I will continue using Sertraline again.
I wanted to give a warning: I am NOT a fan of Sertraline. I hope I don't make this impression. If anybody reads this who does NOT have PSSD, then I can only advise against ever using Sertraline so that there is no chance of getting PSSD in the first place.

It seems to have a long half-life > 24 h, then it is eliminated slowly, and at that rate, it should reach a steady plasma level in a week or so.

Re: Sertraline reinstatement
Thank you, but I don't understand what you want to tell me. For me, it seems to have a rather short effect only.

Re: Sertraline reinstatement
Sertraline is dopaminergic, maybe 1.5h after dosing has more effects on dopamine vs seretonine.

Re: Sertraline reinstatement
A quick update: My libido towards my girlfriend is very high again since reinstatement. Also, when I look at other girls, I see the entire image. Before reinstatement, I looked at them more like a doctor who inspects a patient and thinks "Small, even nose", "Big lips", V-shaped face. Now I just think "Uuuuh nice! It does something with me."
Since taking Sertraline again, coming from sex is really hard. I know this from my Sertraline experience, so this is no news.
But erection is amazing, and libido, too.
And I feel good from Sertraline psychologically.

So except for orgasm you are more or less cured?FindGoodNickname wrote: ↑Fri Dec 03, 2021 4:09 am A quick update: My libido towards my girlfriend is very high again since reinstatement.

Re: Sertraline reinstatement
I would consider myself cured if I feel like masturbating 2x a day again and having overwhelming orgasms again.
And the inability to orgasm with my gf bothers me. But it was always like that for me when I used Sertraline. My gf also used an antidepressant, and she had the same problem to get an orgasm back then.
But apart from that, it's good.
Yes, I did not regret reinstating so far. But I will keep posting, and I'm also writing my diary.
But I have noticed that I have to totally force myself to keep writing it because it's not such a huge problem anymore for me.
I think it took around 1.5 months of reinstating for the sex problems to change, so perhaps it will even improve further.
ps:
For objective measurement I use volume of ejaculation and width of ejaculation, btw.
And I can say that this definitively improved for me.
