Ok man, I gotta ask, since I haven't seen anyone else ask yet...

Is your sex drive shot yet or what? Cause I know when I was on SSRI's about the last thing I felt like doing was having some good sex :frown:

Once, men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free.
But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.

hahaha, my sex drive is gone....but to truthfully honest, I dont mind it.  I can certainly still have sex(erection, ejaculation) but I don't crave it like I used to.  I also noticed I have more time to think about other things as sex used to take up about 80% of my thoughts. :grin:

I still look for the company of a female partner though that hasn't gone away....

I figure if I get a girlfriend my sex drive will be up, but thats a just theory...

Hey hey hey..hang on in there..sounds like they are beggining to work a little magic at last!.. SSRI's do affect sex drive in some people but as long as you can still (ahem) perform then doesnt sound like its too much of a problemo. One more thing...Did you know that anti-depressant medication works at it's optimum level 4-6 months after you first start taking it.....So....things are only gonna get better!!!!

i was one of the people who is allergic to SSRI's ... i was tried on amytriptaline, a tricyclic antidepressant, zoloft and wellbutrin, and each time i took those in almost non-active doses i had psychotic episodes ...

i hope the medicine works out for you overall, but i only tried each for ONE day since by the end of each day i was making sure i was around people because i was scared to be alive and didn't want to kill myself ... i became extremely schizophrenic each time, so i will never again put those in my body again ...

I'm thinking about going on medication. What do I do... go see my family doctor and ask to a referral to a psychiatrist; then spill my guts about my social anxiety and depression? Do ya think they will still hook me up with medication even though I'm not severely depressed? I've been minor/moderately depressed for like 5 years now. It doesn't make me want to kill myself but rather makes me feel worthless and unmotivated. I think meds might cut down on all the worrying/thinking I do and help me become a better person. Start working out, correct my sleeping patterns, make friends/become more social, strive for a career/education etc. Maybe I would only need them for a few months. Any thoughts or comments?

It sounds to me that you already know the answer to this one shroomnewb! Low level depression is a tricky one because people are still able to function relatively normally (albeit feelin like shit).
Just cos you don't want to kill yourself..it doesnt mean that you are not depressed and shouldnt feel better than you currently do. There are a whole load of anti-depressants on the market and many are liscensed to treat anxiety as well as depression...as they often come hand in hand.
They are not the only answer to your difficulties...BUT they WILL help for sure..people take painkillers when they are in pain...why shouldnt they take anti-depressants when they are low?
You already mentioned things like sleep pattern, employment and exercise..strt making some acheivable goals for yourself in relation to this areas and go and see your doctor.
Im in the Uk and often people will be prescribed medication without having to see a psychiatrist (most of the time actually) But it sounds like you really need to talk some of your difficulties through with someone...It all helps!!
Good luck!

Nymphaea Cerulea in alcohol has anti-depressent properties. It's derivative, apomorphine, is offered as a Viagra alternative...I can't vouch for either since I haven't tried them, nor am I a doctor qualified to dispense medical advice altho they appear to have fewer side effects than mainstream medications.

One study suggests sudden darkness as a remedy for nausea, and we know bright light can be an effective mood brightener, but I don't know how to acheive sudden darkness as a remedy for the nauseas side-effects of medications, it's a whole body thing, not as simple as just closing one's eyes .
(maybe turning out the light in the bathroom is effective)

Unfortunately men seem to experience sexual disfunction more on SSRI's than us ladies..Not being able to cum is a common problemo!!
There are alternatives to Citalopram that are likely to have less of an effect on this difficulty!!..Though some (ahem) may not percieve it as such!!  :tongue: :wink:

Individual rights and the lifting of pressure to conform could be the gateway to a greater satisfaction for all.

Simultaneous climax may be the stuff of dreams, but from my limited experience I can't say.

True...but to be able to climax within 2 hours of the other person may be a bonus!!!  :lol:

its been going good, thanks centrum.

I have been feeling alot better in my life. :smile:  I am general more stable.. I wanted to see if it was me or the pills, so I stopped taking them for a few days. :crazy:  yeah, I don't think I am going to miss another 3 days again. I felt like sit the entire time.  I really have been feeling better.  My social life is getting better too.  I have been going out more and being more outgoing so that is a plus also.

I got a new job as a server so I think it will provide a chance to meet more people my same age.  I taken mushrooms twice while on lexapro.  both times have been some of the best trips I have every had.  they are inspiring and have gave me a new outlook on mushrooms.  I used to hate to trip on mushrooms and now I enjoy the trips so this a very good thing. :smile:

the doctor wants to get me on some other meds but I am going to tell them to fuck themselves.. its some kind of "focus medicine".  I also need to still get tested for dyslexia(sp?).  which I believe I have a pretty interesting case for it.  I wonder if it can be corrected? hmm....


well I just want to give some updates. :smile: :sun:

what medications do they want to give you?

and, have you noticed a weakening of the trips, stronger, or the same?

i cant really compare, because i've been on paxil before i even smoked pot.

my trips have been good. This last time I didn't get visuals very much. its was a different kind of trip.  The good part about it is, I can now take mushrooms and not have to focus on negativy.  I have also been able to use the mushroom to help out my current state of mind.

I don't know the meds they want to give me, but I am not concerned since I plan on not taking this medication.  :smile:
