I was wondering what medication works to restore lost libido,orgasm and sensation. Well I'm 20 and much problem is not related to any anabolic stuff but that of anti-depressants drugs the one they call SSRI. Its been over a year since I quit escitalopram. the first drug I took caused me loss of libido,numb penis and no pleasure in orgasm ! it hasn't recovered. I was on it for 5 months in 2013 .. Again I went into depression on feb 2014 and was put on escitalopram again but I quit 2 weeks ago(went cold turkey) I have been going to gym since a month. tried supplements like testo booster, maca,horny goat weed etc tc but no avail. I am also on wellbutrin 300mg from 5 weeks but nothing.
 
Antidepressants will only make things worse. The issue you have here is psychological. This is what's causing the problems downstairs.
 
Try to get off the antidepressants. They are fine temporarily to help you get out of the hole you are in, but they are not a longterm solution. You need to work with a psychologist to get at the root cause of your depression.

Also dona medical checkup if you have not already. Post you blood work if you have. If not, check total testosterone, estradiol, Prolactin, TSH and cortisol.
 
Its not psychological trust me. Its called pssd - post ssri sexual dysfunction. Many people have this . it has some something to do with the serotonin receptors becoming desensitised thus inhibiting Dopamine !
 
Hello thanks for getting back.. I am not on ssri's anymore Went cold turkey 11 days ago ! This problem started the day I took antidepressants and even after quitting it like 1 year ago The sexual function didin't improve. My depression was caused due to an adverse reaction from a pill I took.

I did tests 5 months ago for all of them everything was perfectly fine. I am sure it the imbalance of chemical In the brain. I did let in naturally recover for more than a year but nothing ! I have heard certain drugs like Dopamine agonist treats this problem..

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.
 
OP I will advise you appropriately:

Get your depression problem under wraps. This is your problem the other problem as you admit is secondary to the meds and should be a second concern of yours even if your depression vacillates from light to heavy.

You were prescribed the same medication, well think tell the doctor everything ask for s different medicine. I tell you if you have PROBLEM w/depression then there is a med for you. Also ask the doctor to write you something that helps with the libido. If no good response with this doctor, not caring enough to help, well "Hello" get one who id dedicated to your overall health because the loss of libido and it is bothering you, it can and will amplify and sustain your depression.
God luck with everything. OMM :)

11 days isn't much time. You probably just need to give it more time to return to normal.

I am not recommending this, but if you want to try a Dopamine Agonist, you can get Pramipexole from RUI. See their banner ad at the top of your screen. Just do your homework very thoroughly because there are risks that come with taking a DA. You may be trading one problem for another.

Always take Prami before bed and with food. Taper your dose up over a few weeks to .50mg daily.
 
Hi megatron thanks. The first time I was on it was october 2012 and I went cold turkey on march 2013 ... I was completely off all drugs but in january 2014 I had a rebound of anxiety attack so i just took 1 pill of ssri(paxil) for that and it caused me an adverse reaction totally jolt up my nervous system. I went into severe depression due to this and was put on escitalopram from feb 2014 And just went cold turkey 11 days ago. So I gave it time for like months to return to normal but it didn't

I am currently on dopamine reuptake inhibitor which is wellbutrin that is commonly prescribed for bringing back libido and sensation. Today is the 5th week of it ( I increased the dosage from 150 mg to 300mg 11 days ago and at the same day went cold turkey off ssri. still no effect from that !!

Yes heard good stuff about pramipexole same for ropinirole . I don't care if I have to take one,two, or three drugs for the rest of my life to treat the sexual problem - that is indeed better than living asexually !

Thanks I'm checking out the RUI

Make sure you thoroughly do your homework and consult with your doctor before using a DA. There are definitely risks and negative side effects that come with using one. And make sure you fully understand DAWS.

The best thing would be to get off all these medications and deal with your psychological issues. You need cognitive behavioral therapy. Medications are a short-term answer.
