Antidepressants will only make things worse. The issue you have here is psychological. This is what's causing the problems downstairs.
HOLY SHIT, really, hey dude Don't ever tell someone what you just said. Obviously you know nothing about this topic. You are dead wrong. I don't care it what you said was your experience. If that was your personal experience or witnessed with another. If so then you were not clinical or the other person.
However my 35 years of experience myself and witness to the success of some Antidepressants. Some do carry this side OP has, some do not and some do in the beginning until you body gets adjusted.
There are some who get suicidal on CERTAIN antidepressants, so we find out by trial and error what and what mix works. One med doesn't work across the board for everyone. Shit this forum is no place to even discuss psychotropic medicines. I realize his Q's are valid here, BUT you guys saying SHIT like above is just that SHIT, irresponsible shit, do you hear me guys.
Go to any psych ward talk to the population and find out how many people live or die with these meds. You spew this shit like you are psych doctors or some knowledgeable person. I personally get pissed real pissed when these statement are said without knowing the psych history, environment and more before this crap is spewed for someone. No offense to you Rastas, but you obviously have been swayed with your thinking and even your experience. WE are all different and when it some to depression, mania and a host of disorders, even if temporary the right med can and will help.
Take myself and many others, MORE THAN NOT and if they get off the anti's will die, Check the statistics , check out what happens when a clinical depressed person STOPS his/her medicine.
So in closing do you know if OP is a clinical case, does he, I don't know either, but you don't say what you said. Unless you are in the KNOW of the case.
I will close with PLREASE think guys, think where you are, a steroid n BB forum. WE, You cannot get too involved with this topic.
The simple answer to OP's Q's is there is nothing that permanently restores libido. This Q's is probably semantically not what it is really meant by permanently.
Thanks for listening. Good luck OP and you can PM me to talk further. ..the crazy oldmusclemike here.
