Trying!

[6-Eggs!]

Yes, pretty good but my libido isn't so good atm as I am still tapering off my drug. While I was free of the drug my libido and arousal were better than ever, just that I had severe neurological symptoms.

I am getting closer to stopping and many symptoms have gone or dramatically improved, despite the low drive and some ED I still have a great sex life. When I do have sex my orgasms are mind blowing and ejaculation is something out of a porn movie. Both those aspects are far better than pre psychotropics or depression/fatigue.

how did you recover?

The reason I stopped my med is that I had delayed onset (Tardive) side effects (was taking an AP called Rexulti) including arousal disorder, ED and low libido that started 18 months into treatment and got worse with time, other things including weight gain, mild bipolarish symptoms? and anxiety, sleep paralysis etc...

When I stopped, all hell broke loose with movement issues(tremor/incoordination/weakness), involuntary movements, burning and numbness body wide but worst in my saddle and penis and inability to swallow or breath involuntarily, visual and auditory hallucinations, extreme despair and the list goes on. I also developed soft glans syndrome which is a fair bit better now but not recovered yet.

All it took was time really and trying to stay positive and get on with my life. The one thing that recovered right away was my libido and arousal disorder, within a few weeks of stopping the med. So while stopping the med fixed libido and arousal, it caused all the other debilitating symptoms.

I had to restart the med to control the mental despair and anxiety but I did so at 1/8th of the original dose and have been slowly tapering down since. I am about to start 1/32nd dose in a few days and then 1/64th in 3 months, another 3 months and then stop. I have seen continual improvement even though I am reducing the already minuscule dosage, so like expected my arousal and libido suffered again since restarting but still better than it originally was as my dose is very low.

My saddle and penis are completely numb free most days now (little bit in the glans sometimes) and so it most of my body. I still get funny feelings and some numbness in my hands (tips of fingers are worst), my face and very mildly in my lower legs (from knees to ankles only).

It's pretty much trying to be healthy, stay positive, have support and most importantly is time, just time.

how long have you been sick pssd?

8 months so far. But if you take the total time of SD while I was talking the drug too then it's been 20 months.
