Sexual dysfunctions and Prozac

[willy31 Member Find all posts View Profile Close willy31]

Hello everyone,

I'm new here and I need your help.

I'm a man, I'm 26 years old.

I have been suffering from sexual dysfunction for several years (I would say since 2009-2010). I took for many years and in high doses drugs that are known to induce this kind of problem (Prozac, Risperidone).

Although it has been four years since I stopped all these drugs, the problems persisted.

Here is everything I took:
-Prozac 40mg (2006 to 2014)
-Risperidone 1.75mg (1999 to 2014)
-Concerta 90mg (1999 to 2014)
-Minocycline 50mg (2012 to 2013)
-Finasteride 0.25mg (2014 to 2016)
-Minoxidil 5% (2014 to 2017)

Here are all my symptoms:
-Decreased libido
-Difficult to initiate and maintain an erection (I only have semi-erections, never more than that)
-Orgasm shuttlecock
-Reduction of pleasure during orgasm
-Lower penis sensitivity
-Loss of response to sexual stimulation
-Reduction of ejaculated semen volume

Also:
-I was circumcised in 2010. I was also removed a fibrous ring during the same operation.
-I have a skin disease on the penis (Psoriasis or Eczema).

Here's everything I've tried so far:
-Best habits of life (better diet, physical exercise, yoga, better social life, I stopped watching pornographic films)
-Cialis 20mg
-Viagra 100mg

None of this helped me.

What is the solution(s) that could help me? As you can see, there are several angles to attack. Even if the Cialis would have been effective, it would attack only one angle, the problems of erection. Moreover, it would have been temporary and would have cost me dearly.

I'm going to see an urologist this fall (possibly in November). I would like to try as many things as I can before seeing him and knowing what to offer him.

Also, I intend to go see a private urologist shortly to speed things up. It's expensive and I want to make sure I make the right choice.

I read that since it is the drugs that induced me these problems, "Antidepressants increase the release of serotonin by inhibiting the reuptake of this neurotransmitter.The sexual dysfunction related to SSRIs would be due to the activation of certain receptors serotonin, particularly the 5HT2A and 5HT2C receptors, which would decrease the release of dopamine and cause Parkinsonian disorders and an increase in prolactin. "

I am tempted to try shock wave therapy, PRP, or others, but it seems that it is for those with vascular problems, which does not seem to apply to me.

Can someone advise me? I am ready to put the package to solve my problems.

And finaly, Since my testosterone is low, my family doctor prescribed Androgel 1% at 2.5g / d. However, there are some notorious side effects that scare me: hair loss, weight gain, prostate problems, etc.

Because of Prozac and other medications I was taking, I was overweight for many years (I regained my normal weight 6 months after weaning, but I have facial skin that has lost its elasticity) , I have a big alopecia (still in progress even after more than 4 years of weaning), etc.

I do not want to risk having these side effects again, especially since this treatment to go up my testo will be p-ê long term.

I appeal to your help to find an alternative to Androgel, even if it is not reimbursed by the security. On the one hand, I take care of having healthy habits at all levels. But I also want something that will boost my testosterone. Preferably a natural product. I know there are herbs, things that are not over-the-counter.

Reassign my testo is the first step of my fight and I want the best "booster" possible without the side effects.

If you have suggestions, do not hesitate.

Thank you!

I've been reading this forum for months and seen so many people with the same problems and seemingly different causes .
I've been having the same symptoms for 8 years now and my problems is mostly caused by excessive amount of cycling and pressure in my pelvic floor.
Have you tried any food supplements ?

Google PSSD (Post SSRI sexual dysfunction)

[willy31 Member Find all posts View Profile Close willy31]

Do you think about this natural products?:
-Suma root
-Pollen pine
-Puncture vine/Tribulus terrestris
-Tongkat ali
-Shilajit


Also, I'm very affraid by penile atrophie. I have not had spontaneous erections for years, I do not erection during the night, I do not have a morning erection. By not spontaneously erection, the penis atrophies. I noticed that it is much smaller than before and I read that it could be irreversible ... Do you think about that?

Try Homeopathy.
It s the best and natural way to balance the imbalances that chemical drags are making.

I feel the same, this big nothingness and feeling disconnected from that area of my body.
The biggest struggle is the psychological one, struggling for years and clinging onto hope.
Only hope keeps me alive at this point.

Yes, dietary supplements, I have never heard of those. I only know Tribulus.
There is plenty more to try :
5Gs: Ginko Biloba, Ginseng, Garlic powder, Ginger, Green Tea

also you could try Turmeric, Cayenne pepper extract, Omega3 (fish oil),L-arginine, pycnogenol and other antioxidants.

I think the more scary ones are DHEA and yohimbe. DHEA made me really nervous and angry for one day, just from one 15mg dose.

Homeopathy seems like a total bogus science. I steer away anyone who considers to use it, it seems like a total waste of money. It should be among the last things to try .

First step: increase my testo naturally avoiding to accentuate my hair loss.

I drop Androgel and I started AlphaTest (MuscleTech / ProSeries) 2 days ago. It's a package of 120 capsules that a friend brought me. I Take 4 capsules a day. But it can also induce hairloss. And it is surely less effective than Androgel. So, I'm always looking for something even better.

Here is the list of potential products:
-Tonkat ali
-Tribulus terrestris
-Pollen pine
-L-arginine
-L-citruline
-Shilajit-Suma
-Suma root
-Others?

I have seen several natural products for them also induce alopecia. Is it because some people take high dosage?

So, what I would like is someone who help me about dosage, safe sellers, best natural product for me, combinations to avoid. etc.

Also, I want to try penis pump. I know it's impossible to have a big penis if I not the genetic for that. I want to try that because I never have spontaneous erection. I I use that, I will help my penis to have good blood circulation and wish to stop the penile atrophy (and maybe recover my real size if my atrophy is not irreversible).

I really need help to find the best pump, most security, type of pump the better adapted for me. safe sellers, etc.

Thank you!
