Unread post by Skiba007 »

Hi
Going back on SNRI or MAO after withdrawl of SSRI can have any positive results in terms of ED and overall PSSD or should i give up this idea?

Thanks

Must have balls to do SNRI, for depression I think moclobemid is a MAO with better tolerance and actually improves sexuality. For anxious symtoms there are prosexual options too.

But if the issue is just ED with SNRI, sometimes doctors prescribe viagra/Cialis alongside it.

I'd give a shot to virtually ANY antidepressant not linked to sexual symptoms instead.. I suspect is why Lithium worked on Bunny.. it lifted her depression and thus her sexuality fully came back. (not to mention I feel women are overall happier than us, men, and thus, usually revert things back faster) But I wouldn't try any that, in my perspective and as a hypothesis, somehow the mind takes opportunity to transfer the depression to a part of the body, specially one's dick.

Ketamine? Lithium? Buspar? Methamphetamines in low doses? Marijuana? what else is there in pill form for depression that isn't known to basically castrate people? (serious question)

(why do psychiatry, the FDA thinks people don't care about their dicks and prescribe them for first line? they're either stupid or psychopaths..or both..)

I suspect that if you manage to lift the depression (not easy by any means and assuming there's something to "cure" at all) by means of exercise, therapy, pills, etc, all of that, none of that .. then no more numb dick, etc.. If possible let us know if it worked for depression and thus the whole bodily symptoms phenomenon got reversed.

IF a SSRI/SNRI lifts the depression and doesn't mess up your dick, then, yes... that, in my suspicious, would work.. but as i said, I'd give a shot to other kind of pills known to lift depression first.. and therapy, good diet, etc

Not sure about MAOs.. are they related to this phenomenon too? if not, worth a shot I'd say if yes.. I wouldn't do it.. there's many more stuff for depression.

My two cents.

2012 - 2016 Escitalopram... first pssd symptoms in 2016 (mostly erectile dysfunction, no anhedonia)

Sommer 2017 Sertraline: Full PSSD

Dec 17 - April 20 no SSRI: improvement in ED but worsening in anhedonia, no buzz with alcohol, Sensation, arousal, libido and so on.

May 20 started with 5 mg escitalopram: much more feelings again... even better erections sometimes. but libido, Sensation etc was still the same (do improvements with egcg and especially berberine since a week)

in short words: everybody who suffers pssd since 1 - 2 years shall go back to or try at least a mild ssri (escitalopram is the best one here) imo instead of waiting another year for nothing.

If you have PSSD, depending on dosing you can see improvements or a fix.

Going back on ssri’s is risky, it has made people worse, but there are a few people claiming it cured them.
If you want to go on an antidepressant for battling depression, there are options not linked to pssd.
