I guess I'm getting better over time

Unread post by PLZNO »

I'm not a native english speaker so.. I apologize for my 'engrish'

I was on lexpro(escitalopram) for 2weeks (5mg, 10mg each week)
and I lost my libido, sexual arousal, morning+nocturnal wood (I'm 18 btw this is absolutely abnormal at my age)
I could get an erection tho... only by the physical contact.. and shit.. it's soft as FUUUUUUUUUCK!!!
when I came off this 'poison' I thought that I'll be back to normal pretty soon

4 months later... still no improvement at all...
I was kinda scared and started to search about my symtoms and when I found this site "http://rxisk.org/post-ssri-sexual-dysfunction-pssd/"
I had no idea what to do... and it drove me crazy
I spent so many hours to find an answer... every focking day

suddenly I started to get morning+nocturnal wood again since last month
and it's getting more frequent.. hardness is not as strong as it used to be.. but atleast there are some changes
lately.. my sexual arousal is kinda improved a little
while watching.. some sort of... porn or something.. I felt the blood is pumping in my dick!! not as strong as it used to be but finally I could get an erection without any physical contact!!
strange... improvements in this short time... had no improvement for 4 months and noticed these things during past 3weeks.. weird...

and I'm still afraid that I'll never 100% recover
I've seen lots of things like licorice root, St Johns Wort, mianserin and more
and ordered licorice root and SJW.. I didn't try licorice.. becuz I heard it causes insomnia.. and sjw has not arrived yet
sjw seems safe and reliable I guess... theorically reliable and realistically reliable
I can't wait to try sjw
thanks for reading this boring post
I'll update when I notice any changes

Two weeks is not very long. How long did it take your sex drive to come back?

it's not 100% back
sexual arousal is improved about 10%
but libido..?? no sexual thoughts at all.. so I would say it's near 0%
somehow they're the same thing.. stronger sexual arousal can bring me back my libido?? I hope
it took 5 months to get here

I took brintellix(vortioxetine) for 3 weeks and I had pssd for 2weeks
BOOM! 100% recovered I mean literally 100% recovered after 2weeks of discontinuation
then I took escitalopram... guess what happened

Quit fucking with SSRI bro. Your libido will come back. Just calm the fuk down in the meantime
