Benzodiazepine Insomnia Seizure Induced Sexual Dysfunction
Posted: Tue Jul 10, 2018 11:05 am
To summarize, I was a short term benzodiazepine user. In December I took 14 pills of 1.5 Bromazepam. I suffered 1 month of withdrawals including mania, aggression, rage, rebound anxiety, night terrors, heart palpitations, hypnic jerks, anxiety. Etc
Subsequently, I had 4 months of relatively symptom free window.
Suddenly in my 5th month I had a bout of insomnia, my brain was pulsating. I start having mini-seizures, of which one episode left my penis numb and stinging. I subsequently had strange waves of depression, stabbing chest pain, DR/DP, etc. I went to the hospital out of desperation for the pain to stop and was polydrugged with olanzepine, Paxil, abilify, and mirtazepine.
When I got out of the hospital, my entire penis was stinging and numb. As a month passed by, the stinging sensation subsided. I’m left with a rather numb glans. The skin still feels pain, but it feels more like ordinary skin than sexual stimulation. I am able to have elections and orgasm on vigorous stimulation.
I’ve tried wellbutrin. It doesn’t help much. Hope to get some suggestions.
