Ill try not to write a book here and keep it short and sweet. I have been struggling with a low/non existent libido for 2 1/2 years now. Let it go for a bit then realized something isnt right, had my test level checked and it came back at 189, I was 22 then.
A doc carelessly put me on TRT without any effort into finding the root cause, but I didnt care I thought my problems were over. Long story short, test did nothing for me. And I did it right, had an AI and monitored my bloods, also checked for prolactin, progesterone and so on. test level at 180, or test level at 900 no difference other than I bulked up.
Well recently I started doing some more research and stumbled upon a community of people who have sexual dysfunction after discontinuing SSRI anti depressants... And the news is not good. Most cases have not been solved and the ones that have take years and years. I cant explain all the lingo, Ill copy and paste a couple thread and articles I found interesting.
I cant say positively that this is what I am experiencing but I have ruled out just about everything else. When I was 17 I had insomnia... And my family doctor put me on zoloft. Side effects were terrible... switched me to lexapro. Same deal. Switched me to Paxil. And what do you know those are the 3 leading drugs causing this. In a way Im glad to have potentially found and answer but at the same time there is no cure or treatment for this.
Fuckin mind blowing I walk into the docs office for insomnia and they throw something at me (3 different drugs) that alters my brain chemistry for the rest of my life.
And to be honest, the no libido is sucks. But what is even more torturous is the fact that I have completely lost my emotions and personality. I just kinda feel like a shell of a person. Time heals all they say, I guess we will see. In the mean time I will be taking no more RX drugs or trying to self medicate.
