@Ben190 so now you can have sex when you want to and don't have much problem getting good erection?

It’s depending on the day but all in all, a lot of days things work great yes, But sometimes you feel a lot but erection only at 70%. But I was not used to How intense something can be 🙈 I am pretty sure it’s possible to get to 100%.

 

Main Problem is that sometimes I feel horny sometime days Not at all. I will maybe do a 4 year Update This Summer 😊

Hey guys, I've been dating lately and I manage to get turned on when there's contact, but when I watch porn it's very hard to get a reliable erection.  Premature ejaculation is still present and I don't think it will go away.  In my opinion it will not heal like that one day as if by magic.  There are not many solutions for me sexually.  Take a drug again to have an almost normal sexuality and a relationship duration that is close to normal.  Because even if I have a little libido I can't stand having short reports and an erection that is not 100% compared to before even very far from it.  Especially since it's been over a year since I stopped this ****.  I don't know if I would have the courage to wait very long.  I've been thinking about taking St. John's wort or even trying drinking alcohol to see if that will help me sexually.  But I don't do them.  I regret the me before and I am without loneliness.  I'm having a bad day because I see people evolve having children and having serious encounters and I'm not moving forward.  @Avicii I'm super happy for you my friend for your week skiing it's nice to wait 😉

 

@Ben190 4 years of weaning for you?  You are very brave congratulations to you.  I should be happy to have a bit of libido but I can't make do with it, what's the point if it's to have short sex.  Sometimes I tell myself that I will take this drug again for 15 years to live my life and anyway we only live our real life now, not when we are old

Hello everyone, I was on seroplex 10mg in October 2019 for over a year and then on brintellix from March to September for maybe 8 months. I made several attempts to stop abruptly then I resumed the treatment of brintellix recently for a few weeks because it was too difficult to stop.

Symptom when stopped: premature ejaculation, ejaculation with less orgasm. Severe insomnia, transient headaches, sensitivity to noise and light.

Last intake of brintellix 5mg: Saturday, September 11, 2021

Right now for me the morale is at its lowest.  I had periods where I believed in some improvements (sexual I speak), because I had some nocturnal or morning erections but it is very irregular.  Mentally it's always complicated even if it's going a little bit better I'm still very tired.  But sexually I wonder if I'm not going to try smoking or taking St. John's wort or griffonia.  To have a normal sexuality during my golden years.  Because when I read people having the pssd for 10 years I tell myself that if that's my case, I'm simply wasting my life.  And I don't want to take any more antidepressants because it's a bit of a shame to take that too, especially since I no longer wanted to but I had no choice.  I read on reedit that some cannabis smokers manage to find a somewhat normal sexuality when they smoke, I don't smoke but I know that if for example tomorrow I take an antidepressant or fear being St. John's wort which is already more  natural my premature ejaculation will go away and I will have a better erection and a better libido like when I was under treatment.  It's ugly to say but it's the reality.  How are you guys??

I have even worse problems than PSSD that are ruining my life even more than the PSSD... But it is still very bad to have it. But if Ben had so much healing, why can't we? He had all the symptoms and now he is close to recovery, we can get through this!

You’re a lucky guy Ben! Hope you will get 100% healed someday.

 

I am still in survival mode. Everyday is still a struggle even if things are improving extremely slowly. My penis is still a complete mess which makes me think that there has been some kind of permanent physical injury in that area…even when I try to get an erection my penis is shorter and much thinner than before. It’s just not my penis….

 

Still anhedonia and I am having a hard time when it comes to emotions towards my kids and other people. 
 

I hope someone is gonna wake me up from this nightmare soon! 
 

I believe that I have reached a new stage where I am starting to remember my old self and my old personality but I can not live it. My brain and body still says ”No, you can’t go there”. It’s a rough stage because I can now see and remember my past which makes me realise what I am missing out on.

 

I will continue to fight, I haven’t got this far to give up now.

@Avicii I see what you are saying it's hard to live with.  Me my erections are sometimes good sometimes less I good.  Do you think that if tomorrow you take an antidepressant your penis will return to a normal size and that you will have better erections etc?  I'm not saying this is what to do far from it is only a question.  Because under antidepressants I personally had a good erection etc.

I know it’s Hard… but the longer you can keep going the more you will be your old self. Today was a Crazy day I was struggling with too much emotions. First near tears then happy then I was wondering wtf* is going on.

 

But your System is adjusting. It Takes Time and when you feel like 50%+ healed you will believe that 100% is possible. 
 

Never give up!

I am like 15 months into this. The blood flow is very bad, it seems like there isn't enough blood down there and erections are weak and thinner...

Avicii, you said that it took around 2 months for your system to crash so you are more like 2 years into this. I think healing is very possible. Ben had exactly the same and for him it resolved so just hang in there.

I am a teacher and I work 100%. It’s crazy that I have been able to teach all this time and the students love me. I visit Berlin last week actually together with my students, great city!
I am very good in hiding my problems…

 

I have my kids 50% and I give them what I can but it’s not like it used to be. I don’t have the same emotions anymore. More than that I don’t have a life anymore. I have quit; all sports, going to the gym, being a soccer coach, sex, coffee and friends. I don’t have the power nor the interest to do the things I used to. 
 

I am alot better than I was a year ago…looking forward to april 2024. All I have to do is stay alive I guess.

@Ben190At 26 months in, were you still 100% asexual? Did you have daily spasms in your penis, were you able to connect with your family? Did you have brain fog and feeling weird? Was your penis still dead/shrunk/thin? 
 

I have all this and more, how can theese pills be legal???

 

I have bought a gym card now, I am trying to push through this hell….

@BerCal I completely agree that it is a shame for the medical community to do this to us. I also want to say I took the pills because I have horrific anxiety that's stealing my life and making me dysfunctional in some areas of life and instead of getting help, I got left with iatrogenic damage from these drugs... What world do we live in?

I agree, it’s a crime and the doctors should be punished…

 

I have pretty much lost everything in my life due to the medical community; my hair and skin destroyed by Accutane and my brain and body ruined by SSRI. It’s such a parody….

 

I read about a swedish soccer player who had a brain tomor a year ago and now he’s back on the pitch. A brain tumor is easier to heal than 4 months use of SSRI….LOL!!!
