You will bounce back. Lemon balm, amongst SO many other herbs can crash me too. Very annoying. Give it a week or so. Lemon balm has serotonin boosting properties or even some of its constituents can bind to 5-HT1A receptor I believe. Thank you. Yes, it's unbelievable. I needed something for anxiety...

No.

Could you explain further? At this moment I feel I'm back to square 1. They conclude it's a serotonergic antidepressant.

I took this herb and now I feel completely sexually numb. I'm freaking out really bad, can't believe that maybe I have crashed again? I've just read it's a serotonergic antidepressant. I've also found this study, does this means it acts as an SSRI? https://www.google.cl/url?sa=t&source=web&r...

After the crash I had with the anthistaminic chlorphenamine, that was actually a, real SSRI, I study every possible drug that I should take. I was prescribed desloratadine, and the only thing I can find is that it is muscarinic acetycholine receptors antagonist, does this represents any danger to PS...

5ht1a antagonists will probably not sensitize the receptor because there is a large concentration of serotonin in our synapses from sert down regulation. Antagonists will just increase 5ht firing, by blocking 5ht1a receptors, which will worsen symptoms. We need to focus on finding ways to upregulat...

Beware of nocebo effect. If you are too scared, you will get worse with anything so it might be safer to avoid everything until you feel confident enough to take it. Yes, It will make it worse only for a while in that case. I just got traumatized after I made my pssd worse with an anthistaminic tha...

The worst scenario makes you sleepy. Any possible effects are temporary. For people with anxiety and stress problems benzos (low dosing) can help with sex. From my experience on diazepam (only take when need and generally low dosing 2.5-5mg) I don’t have (during and after) any bad sexual side effec...

I read it!
I Can't really find much reports about benzos and pssd interaction in the forums

If so, temporary or permanently?
Please share your experiences!

With dopamine agonist, I basically mean antipsychotics.
