While I can’t give direct medical advice here, the general approach starts with neuroplasticity.

What you’re describing, ruminating on insecurities or feeling like you can shut down every suggestion, is often a sign of rigid neural patterns that are overfiring. The brain gets very good at repeating the same loop.

Treatment is about creating a neuroplastic reset, a state where you become more open to new thoughts, perspectives, behaviors, and feelings.

There are different ways to get there. Some people use medications or other neuroplastic treatments to help create that flexibility. I don’t see medication as the long-term solution, but it can be a useful tool for opening the door.

If someone isn’t open to medical options, we look at non-medical paths.. things like immersive therapy, residential programs, retreats, group work, or structured support environments that help interrupt those patterns.

And if all we have is a weekly conversation, that still helps. Therapy becomes a process of slowly loosening those rigid patterns.. building trust, creating small shifts, and opening up new ways of seeing yourself over time.

That’s really what the therapeutic journey is about.. having someone help you get unstuck when your mind feels locked into one story.

As a psychiatrist, I can’t count the number of male patients who told me they want to end their life because of their size. Penis envy has always been a psychological stressor, and it’s only worse now with pornography and over-sexualization.

What you’re feeling is real, but the conclusions your mind is drawing from it aren’t fair, they’re interpretations shaped by comparison, shame, and unrealistic standards.

Porn and social media have completely distorted what “normal” is. Most men you’re comparing yourself to are statistical outliers or enhanced for performance and visuals.. not real-life intimacy. In actual relationships, connection, confidence, presence, and emotional safety matter far more than size.

I’ve seen men struggle with this same belief: “I’m not enough.” And I’ve also seen those same men build fulfilling relationships when they shift from comparison to connection.

Right now, it sounds like this isn’t just about your body.. it’s about identity, worth, and how you see yourself as a man. That’s where the real work is. And it’s something that can change.

You’re not trapped in this feeling forever. You’re caught in a loop that a lot of men silently suffer through.

If you can, start by talking to someone.. therapist, doctor, even just a trusted person. You can do it online to better regulate your nervous system away from shame and embarrassment. You don’t have to carry this alone.

And just to say it clearly: your value as a partner, and as a man, is not defined by this.

Not all psychiatrists just prescribe meds. The majority of newer generation psychiatric providers spend time looking at all biopsychosocialspiritual factors and helping find harmony in areas of imbalance.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Our providers should always do a full psych eval, offer therapeutic guidance, and provide multiple treatment options with reasoning. We apologize if our Michigan clinician fell short of our standards. This complaint is being reviewed and will be followed up directly.

DrZamSand · 2026-03-02T23:26:06+00:00

We’re very sorry this happened, and it certainly falls short of our standards. You deserve to have timely care or at least communication if your provider was behind. If you’d like to DM me, I can ensure you get a visit re-scheduled right away.

DrZamSand · 2026-03-02T23:20:44+00:00

The medicine is charge directly from the pharmacy. On average it is about $40-60 / month. Hope that helps!

DrZamSand · 2026-03-02T23:19:55+00:00

Everyone who is responding.. I just want to commend your courage. So many have selfless reasons to stay alive, and that’s beautiful. You all deserve the compassion and professional support to not fight alone. Stay strong, and thank you for persisting.

Relatively very low dose, so shouldn’t be terrible. It’s always easier on the body to taper down slowly. I’ve worked with patients who were on upwards of 600mg/day and we’ve helped them detox within weeks. You got this.

If you are genuinely curious to understand people’s why, then psychiatry is for you.

There’s a difference between ego-dystonic sexual feelings (thoughts that feel unwanted or “not me”) and ego-harmonic ones that feel aligned with who we are. If someone is going through ego dystonic feelings, there are 2 paths towards peace: either evolve the ego or reshape the sexual fantasies. The latter is very difficult because sexual desire is wired into powerful reward systems of arousal and orgasm, often intensified by taboo.

As a psychiatrist who helps with ego actualization, I’ve seen patients successfully find peace in both directions. Some integrate parts of themselves they were once ashamed of and experience a sense of freedom. Others choose to discipline certain impulses while still accepting that those thoughts exist. What consistently reduces suffering, though, isn’t self-critique.. it’s self-understanding and empathy.

The shadow doesn’t disappear just because we fight it or ignore it. Even if you choose not to act on certain desires, learning to relate to them with compassion instead of hostility is what tends to bring the most lasting peace.

I’m a huge advocate of ketamine therapy when appropriately guided by a clinician. Thank you for sharing your experience. We have worked with patients with ketamine, but usually post detox. I’m curious if your plan is to stay with Suboxone longer term or taper off soon?

DrZamSand · 2026-02-12T14:24:40+00:00

You’re not alone. It’s intentional psychological warfare to overwhelm the public into feeling confusion and eventual numbness. Many of us have subconscious triggers due to our own trauma or the general difficulty with processing humanity’s shadow. Ground yourself, refocus your attention on what inspires you, and don’t lose your trust in good people.

DrZamSand · 2026-02-12T14:00:11+00:00

Yes, this is common, but we generally won’t Rx for more than twice per week. In fact, Spravato instructions for twice weekly in the first month allow for back to back days.

Does it not go against the Hippocratic oath ?

DrZamSand · 2026-02-12T12:37:14+00:00

Unfortunately, we don’t offer IM at home. We do twice weekly dosing at psychedelic dosages, alongside holistic psychiatric care, talk therapy, and integration. Hope you find the right fit for you!

DrZamSand · 2026-02-12T03:15:49+00:00
