Hi. Inspired by the discussion I tried again to take some venlafaxine. I am currently taking about 5 mg of Venlafaxine for about a week now. My Libiod is going up and down pretty fast but today it seems to stabilize in the upper level. I tried this a couple of times and it always worked before but most of the time I stopped because I was scared of possible danger or the effect lessened and I didn't want to increase the dosage. But my PSSD was caused by Sertraline and not Venlafaxine and I tood Venlafaxine before my PSSD without negative influence on my libido. I will see were it goes. I will keep you updated.

Venlafaxine is effexor right?

Effexor is what gave me PSSD. I was at 150 mg dose. From what I can remember I still had a sex drive, just extreme erectile dysfunction.

There's one more thing. I had this for long time under suspicion. After the last months i can tell for sure.
Spicy food - Just don't do it. Everytime i did, i got some serious setback.
Nevertheless i am cured now.

All the best

Ive skipped dosing the last few nights, and Ill skip again tonight.

No huge improvements, still have PSSD with small little waves. I did have nocturnal erections last night, and a semi erection this morning.

No real depression, and my mood has been great.

Ill wait another few days before I think dosing again, maybe even week.

Seems like Venlafaxine is doing the job one more time. I am currently taking about 3 mg per day and I feel way more sexual, wake up with morning errections, basically it's all normal. Not sure if it will last though but at the moment I am quite optimistic.

I dosed on Monday. Had nocturnal erections, and felt like having sex for a few days afterwards.

I decided to go the week in between dosing, and was back to having PSSD by Thursday.

I might abandoned the paxcil low dose experiment, and try Effexor instead.

Reason why is when I was originally on it I did have a sex drive.

I've come to the realization that Ive been pretty much depressed since my teenager years. I always thought it as a bad mood, or just that feeling of blah, and it would come and go.
