Re: Pituitary Tumor

If you think it's possible, make an appointment with an endo and get a hormonal panel--especially if you've been having symptoms before you took SSRIs.

Re: A mental component to PSSD?

Yeah...I don't know what to think. I've been depressed/stressed in the past and never had a problem with libido or morning wood, for example. These symptoms all came up when I took Lexapro and haven't really improved since I stopped in 2012. So, it may be PSSD, but I guess the first step would be to...

A mental component to PSSD?

My problems first started on Lexapro, which I stopped taking in 2012; I haven't really had morning or spontaneous erections since then, and while I can still have sex, my libido is very low.

There are studies showing that Lamictal improves sexual function, such as this one:

I tried it for depression a few years ago and it did nothing except make me feel tired and more depressed. No sexual improvements.

Re: Pycnogenol and Arginine?

Let me know about your experience with Pycnogenol, as I'm curious too. I don't know where things stand for me, personally. I went off Lexapro in 2012 and things haven't been the same since then. I almost never get morning or random erections anymore, erections are usually weaker, and my libido is si...

Pycnogenol and Arginine?

I ran across this interesting study...

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12851125

92.5% effectiveness in this study! Has anybody here tried this combination, or either on its own?
