Post SSRI/ PSSD–Help *zoloft*?
Posted by admin | Under fixing erectile dysfunction Thursday Jan 14, 2010Hey i’m 18 year old male, goes to the gym, takes a daily vitamin…great shape etc…
I been taking zoloft 50 mg for 2.5 years, and about 6 + weeks ago I Stopped the medicine, I had no side effects noticeable to myself or anyone.
However during the medicine I had decreased sex drive, couldn’t maintain an erection or was hard even getting one. I know this is a common side effect. But it’s been 6 weeks off the medicine and I still have the erectile dysfunction part. I Assume my sex drive is back (it’s been a while though).
I asked my psychiatrist and urologist at the 3rd week point and they said usually it takes like 1 week for the medicine to be cleared from your system. And farther research showed many people have post ssri or basically sexual side effects continue for a long time after stopping.
So my doctors told me to wait 2 months then see them again, basically just wait an indefinite amount of time and hopefully things will get better.
Some people reported they had the condition for 10+ years /permanent damage. that freaked me out and created doubt in my mind.
MY QUESTION: Considering I was on it for 2.5 years, and been off for 6-7 weeks, does anyone have a clue how much longer I have to wait to get rid of the erectile dysfunction?
Or does anyone know a good medicine that’s not like the very expensive viagra but does similar stuff or even fixes you over time permanently. If medicine could do this to me , then some medicine should be able to fix it.
I’ll continue to wait indefinitely, but anyone have suggestions? Thanks!
Well I don’t want to have to inject my penis everytime I want to have sex like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-6pmsVOe3g&feature=PlayList&p=40811DBDB611EBFE&index=3
Some people said take like viprx or other herbal stuff but I dunno if it’s a scam. Viagra is like 10-20 bucks a pill
And is there some sort of formula of waiting, so if i took it 2.5 years, if you don’t get your stuff back after a week of stopping, you gotta wait max 2.5 months? Or it doesn’t work like that?
There’s nothing generic like Viagra. (YET) You’ll be waiting until the patent wears off. Good luck. I’m still on SSRIs and still have ejaculatory problems.
EDIT: I wouldn’t use that herbal stuff unless my doctor recommended it. It’s under the
"won’t help, might hurt" category.
