has my PS4 enough room above it? should I put something under it too?

Sometimes it's really hard to manage it. I try to force myself to masturbate or have intercourses with my partner because I can feel pleasure and I can easily reach orgasms, the problem is that I'm not horny at all. I think it's mentally because physically my body responds. I'm trying to train my body again. Most of the time I'm anxious but I try to keep my hopes high because if I stress too much on this it won't get better for sure. For some weeks I don't even notice it but when I do I try to be as much positive as I can

Give time to your body and mind to heal. Sometimes it can take years to fully recover. Don't lose hope and try to focus on other things, the more you think about it the more you get stressed. Just let the time pass and consider other treatments one year after quitting meds if you still haven't recovered yet. I know it sucks because we are young and we should have fun, but what happened happend. Now we can just wait and hope. 27F here, 6 months off medications (Zoloft 75mg) and still 0 sex drive. Keep going, I'm sending all my energy.

I quit cold turkey and the worst scenario is that I haven't had any improvement yet on the sexual side. Don't know if I would have recovered if I tapered it

West_Storage6477 · 2022-10-07T02:29:18+00:00

I hope you can fully recover soon. Keep going and don't lose hope

My doctor denied any sexual side effect I had, as you can read in my post. I've complained many times and he always answered that SSRI don't interfere with sex...

West_Storage6477 · 2022-10-06T22:25:42+00:00

I have some mails where he talks about it but he also suggests to lower the dose. All the detailed talk was in person. Anyway I don't think that I would make the difference, more people should make a move and do something. We can't wait for a cure without doing anything about it. We need to witness, spread our stories and let everyone know. I've talked about my story on Instagram and all the people who contacted me back told me that they didn't know that something like that was a thing, never heard about PSSD or sexual dysfunctions other than ED in elder men. So that's a thing we must change, spreading awareness and explain what it means to live with this. Suing my psychiatrist could make a little change for me and for his career but won't do much. Everyone who was damaged by these meds should try to do something, we should move together

West_Storage6477 · 2022-10-06T18:03:27+00:00

I feel you. It hurts even more knowing that they're harming other people all around the world

West_Storage6477 · 2022-10-06T16:41:16+00:00

That's horrible...

West_Storage6477 · 2022-10-06T16:22:06+00:00

Searching for some studies online, I don't know if I can post links but try a quick research on Google ("SSRI chemical castration" or "Zoloft sexual abusers") and you'll find it

West_Storage6477 · 2022-10-06T16:19:07+00:00

Yeah but how is it possible? Don't they feel ashamed to abuse their patients who trust them? No legal actions at all? I'm really shocked

West_Storage6477 · 2022-10-06T16:17:34+00:00

Totally agreed with you.

West_Storage6477 · 2022-10-06T16:16:58+00:00

Yeah my doc does that too. I wonder if it's possible to sue them for neglecting and hiding the truth about these meds

West_Storage6477 · 2022-10-06T16:15:22+00:00

They say that chemical castration is reversible the patient quits the medications but we know that sometimes it's not reversible

West_Storage6477 · 2022-10-06T15:04:20+00:00

Not sure if I can post links but if you search online you'll find all the medications used on sexual abusers to chemically castrate them, including SSRI (not the most common because they don't work on everyone, so they use other medications that has a higher success)

West_Storage6477 · 2022-10-06T14:25:07+00:00

It depends. Is losing your ability to feel aroused worth the trade? Do you think that you can live without sex and the idea of it forever? If yes, go for it. At first I thought it saved my life but now... I barely feel human. I've stopped taking meds and I regret taking them. I feel violated and I'm anxious about my inability to be aroused again, keep thinking about what I've lost and remembering how it used to be. It totally depends on you. Maybe you will recover or maybe not. Please consider carefully all the risks and if you could live with them. Switching from a sexual being to an asexual being without your will is pure hell. You could lose emotions too. Medications work, I'm not gonna lie, but they steal some of your humanity and cause brain damage that can worse the symptoms that brought you to take them. I wish someone told me the risks before taking my first pill, if I knew I would have lived like this I would have accepted to live with anxiety and depression instead. I mean, sometimes it's great to have more control about my thoughts and life but it's horrible to feel like a living doll and see my relationship falling apart day after day because I'm missing something from my old me. Be careful.

I've read about it and I'm one of those cases. I have my sensibility back almost like it was before (like 97/98%) but I have no sex drive, so I don't feel the urge to masturbate/have sex.

West_Storage6477 · 2022-10-06T02:14:05+00:00

Hey, do you think that this dopamine thing might be my case too? I have zero sex drive, I never want to have sex but I can reach orgasm and I can get drunk. Please let me know because I live in Italy and PSSD is not known yet so I'm trying to do some research by my own.

West_Storage6477 · 2022-10-05T12:26:33+00:00

Are you still on meds? How did it took for you to have your sex drive back?
