Moderator Emeritus Skyler Posted October 14, 2012 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted October 14, 2012 my libido is fluctuating ....anyone ever came across this situation...is it recovering or not I'm not sure what you mean by fluctuating... but this sounds like a variation of 'windows and waves'.. This is a general pattern people have when they recover. You spoke about having no libido, now you have some but it seems to ebb and flow? Your libido will recover. Hold tight.. you are improving!

shriraj Posted October 24, 2012 Author Share Posted October 24, 2012 It may very well be hypersensitivity to light. Wear dark glasses and dim the lights indoors. Wear dark glasses while using the computer, it's very bright. an adverse reaction to ssri can take 36 months to recover....is it true however i have seen significant improvement iin just 43 days off nexito 5mg. the only problem is with erectile dyfunction..which havent shown much improvement.

Administrator Altostrata Posted October 24, 2012 Administrator Share Posted October 24, 2012 Do you remember advice we gave you to be patient, shriraj? You've asked this question many times before. The answer is still the same. It's a good sign you have seen some improvement, but it may still take many months for you to fully recover. This is not medical advice. Discuss any decisions about your medical care with a knowledgeable medical practitioner.

eiledon20 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I was prescribed this med before and had similar agitating effects. Whem will science came up with a better antidepressant. All of them have untolerable side effects. Partner suddenly died 2014. Severe depression AGAIN (had previous episode 10 years ago). I was given escitalopram but could not bear the side effects, so i ask for an ECT (not sure if this helped). During the treatment and my hospital stay I was given Depakote mood stabilizer. PDOC says I need to take it for two years. After 4-5 months I have a hard time with the Depakote. Hard to get up in the morning. Depression again or Depakote effects? So stopped Depakote (did not know about tapering then) Januray 21, 2015. Severe depression again, started Pristiq 50mg and clonazepam 0.5 mg nightly. Had confusion, suicidal thoughts, thoughts about death, and find it hard to understand the TV, much more type in a computer. Had adverse reaction to most antidepressants: muscle pain/spasms, irritablity, restlessness. Also Tried Prozac, Zoloft, Escitalopram years ago. Started to taper pristiq and clonazepam after four months: 5th month: 2 weeks - 3/4 tablet PRISTIQ (deducting the clonazepam also, so hard to cut) 2 weeks - 1/2 tablet PRISTIQ (crumbs of clonazepam nightly) 2 weeks - 1/8 or less (hard to cut really) (zero clonazepam) Then jump off pristiq. I just wonder why I was cured during the 10 year period (2004-2014) I have no depression symptoms and no meds either. Pdoc said I might be biploar 2 but it is a "grey" area. Aren't bipolars supposed to be on maintenance meds?! Damn this diagnosis. I am tapering Pristiq either way. Link to comment
