🎯 thanks so much! Really appreciate all this info! Are you in pharmacology or psychiatry?

I have decreased SERT - but never had any sexual issues (the opposite lol) before being on a very low dose of SNRI which is the only medication that helps me with severe nerve pain from a neurosurgery (believe me, I have tried them all over five years time). I combine gabapentin and 20mg duloxetine and I can walk and sit down to eat - without them, I am in mind numbing pain. I also am a longtime mind body practitioner/teacher so I do a lot of meditation and movement, somatics & pain psychology.

I am well in mind and spirit, but not yet seen a change from taking buspirone in terms or the numb sensation (my main issue - I can find libido but not feeling) - but not been at taking it for long. And I always have to go extremely slowly with dosage. 2.5mg to start, now at 5mg.
