Antidepressants/SSRIs Experiences And Sexual Side Effects

[Fatboy3580]

I’ll give you my opinion on this ,even though I’m late to this thread.I’ve had ocd really bad most of my life along with severe anxiety and bipolar.I’ve tried every medicine on the market and I’m not going through all of them.I will go through what has worked best for me.SSRI in general did nothing for me.I finally tried an SNRI cymbalta, since I was told it helped with back pain as well so I tried it along with clonazepam ,trazadone for sleep and seroquil for bipolar.the first 3 worked wonders on me .I barely have anxiety any more,my ocd and my crazy rituals are finally gone after so many years. I used to wash my hands 100 or more times a day,my hair had to be perfect,I broke every lock in my house from constantly checking it ,even though I already did 20 times.I was so depressed from my accident I wanted to die then wake up one more day in excruciating pain.always in the hospital.these meds saved my life.
Now seroquel worked great fir bipolar and sleep but even eating right I ballooned up to 320 pounds of fat.I was so miserable in the way I looked I wouldn’t leave the house.don’t start that Med,stay away from it.I finally weaned my way off of it and I’m continuing to drop body fat.
I’m almost always in a good mood now.I do have a problem climaxing fast.it’s not that bad though, I always manage to.my sex drive is great,my erections are great.
I know people say Benzos are for short term but been on 1mg clonazapam 3 times a day for 25 years.my doctor keeps me on it.thise are the 3 psych meds I’m on and will be on for the rest of my life.
Anything is worth a try when your suffering,but always consult a dr before doing anything.
Good luck and hope you found help by now
