Re: Naltrexone was the only thing that helped me at all

I’ve had PSSD for 20 years now. The primary things impacted for me by former use of Fluvoxamine are: 1) Libido 2) Romantic Feelings Secondary issues such as pleasure, sexual sensitivity, and orgasm seem to go hand-in-hand with libido for me. All of these issues have gotten better after withdrawing f...

Re: Naltrexone was the only thing that helped me at all

I’m not sure what would be ”completely cured” @ 43 years old….. I’d say, maybe the desire (and ability) to have sex or masturbate every day. 🤷🏼‍♂️ My recovery after sex or masturbation is still much longer than I’d like. When things are working well (such as now after weaning from Naltrexone) I feel...

Re: Naltrexone was the only thing that helped me at all

Checking back in. Things are still better since cycling off of Naltrexone at the end of January. Better in terms of morning wood, erection, libido, and semen quality. Every article I’ve read seems to link opioid antagonism to better androgen sensitivity. This could be part of it, but I’m only specul...

Re: Naltrexone was the only thing that helped me at all

Things have tapered off some in terms of libido. I still have very strong morning erections and quick response to visual and physical stimuli. I’m taking a break from trying anything right now, but I’ll run another course of Naltrexone in the future….. maybe low-dose for longer. For what it’s worth,...

Re: Naltrexone was the only thing that helped me at all

I’ve tried Fenugreek before, but not for long enough or in high enough doses. My concern with it is that it’s supposed to raise prolactin….. which would not be helpful.

Re: Naltrexone was the only thing that helped me at all

I can’t say I ever experienced true anhedonia. I just don’t get “butterfly feelings” or romantic crushes. Naltrexone didn’t change that…… but also at 42, I am who I am. I’m content with being a bachelor, even though as a conservative and a Christian, I expected to be married in my 20’s. Haven’t expe...

Re: Naltrexone was the only thing that helped me at all

I took Naltrexone for 4 weeks. My primary symptom has always been libido, with secondary symptoms being lack of arousal and romantic feelings. I have a hard time judging a percentage of recovery since I’ve had this for 20 years, but if current progress continues, I’d say around 50%. 🤷🏼‍♂️ For what i...

Re: Naltrexone was the only thing that helped me at all

The return of some libido and sexual feelings started about 5 days after withdrawing from Naltrexone.

Re: Naltrexone was the only thing that helped me at all

I started at 12.5 mg and worked my way up. I never felt horny (or even good) at ANY dose of Naltrexone. It wasn’t until it left my system completely that I was interested in calling a woman to come over. I’m not declaring victory. I absolutely still have PSSD, but this was a step in a positive direc...

Re: Naltrexone was the only thing that helped me at all

I did a course of Naltrexone during January and titrated up to 50mg/day. I quit cold turkey a week ago. Why on it my sex drive was non-existent. Since coming off, it’s been higher than it’s been in awhile. My response to visual stimuli is still somewhat low, but I’ve been fantasizing a lot more and ...
