Re: Sexual side effects suck! -I want to come off Paxil [Re: dr_gonz]
    #3828316 - 02/24/05 03:51 PM (19 years, 27 days ago)

I would like to invite you to join a new Yahoo discussion group focused on the sexual side effects of SSRIs and antidotes to these effects.

Here is the link:

http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/ssrisex/

In particular, it appears that for some people the sexual side effects of SSRIs do not go away immediately after quitting the drugs, and can last for considerable time afterwards  :shocked::mad2::sad:. We would like to discover the reason for this persistent sexual dysfunction and find a cure.

Best regards,

Vornan

MAOI antiudepressants (including SJW)




I'm pretty sure that St John's Wort is not a MAOI.

I quit Lexapro and I still experience sexual side effects. While I've had some relief from the side effects, I still am not the way I used to be. I fucking hate SSRIs with a passion.

There are numerous safe herbal treatments for a sexual dysfuction.
-Horny Goat Weed
-Peruvian Maca Root
-Deer Antler Velvet
-Yohimbe (Thought its a MAOI so you should not each foods with trymamines [sp] like chocolate and cheese adn you should not take it if you have high blood pressure)
-Ginko Biloba (for improved blood flow)

You should read up on these.

SJW is contraindicated with SSRI's, and I've also heard (from an emergency room Dr) that St John's wort and the Atkin's diet are contraindicated.

Seafood is good for libido because ocean inhabitants concentrate iodine in they're tissues, and iodine is the precursor TSH requires for preparing thyroid hormones.
It's also long acting too, because of the long half-life of thyroid hormones.

Paroxetine's too strong for basically anyone. But the sexual side-effects aren't a significant draw-back in the scheme of things, weight gain is, and so are movement disorders, suicidal or homicidal thoughts.


St John's wort and depression: slight efficacy at best, many drug interactions.

(1) St John's wort has been widely used for centuries as a herbal remedy. Dozens of trials, of variable quality, have examined the therapeutic value of St John's wort. Published meta-analyses show that St John's wort extracts are more effective than placebo in patients with mild and moderate depression. (2) Trials show that St John's wort is about as effective as tricyclic and serotonin reuptake inhibitor antidepressants. (3) There is insufficient evidence to determine the efficacy of St John's wort in patients with more severe depression. (4) Few, mostly minor adverse effects have been reported, but there may be a small risk of serotonin syndrome and cutaneous photosensitisation. (5) Some components of St John's wort interfere with CYP3A4, one of the main cytochrome P450 isoenzymes. CYP3A4 is involved in the metabolism of many commonly used drugs. St John's wort reduces the efficacy of several drug groups including: immunosuppressants (risk of graft rejection), oral contraceptives (risk of pregnancy), oral anticoagulants (risk of thrombosis), and HIV protease inhibitors. It can also reduce the bioavailability of digoxin. (6) In practice, St John's wort is an inappropriate treatment for severe depression. It is, however, an acceptable option for short-term management of transient depressed mood when there is no risk of drug interactions and when the patient is properly informed of this risk. (7) In short, the risk-benefit balance of St John's wort is no better than that of standard antidepressants, mainly because of the risk of drug interactions.

Actually SJW is an SSRI, and questionably has MAOI properties as well. Generally drug interactions with SJW are uncommon, and a lot of the info you posted above is questionable.

I was on paxil for a while and didn't enjoy the side effects either. I switched to zoloft recently. Much more subtle..simular ups, and fewer downs. I've been sexually inactive since I started it, so I don't know how it is on that end of things, but I bet it's not as bad as paxil. SRRI's are fucking addictive..it's hard to stay off of them once you start.

St. John's wort is an SSRI? No it isn't, it likely blocks 5-HT1A receptors to some  extent but it isn't selective. Actually, it may not even block it, but I can look in to that too. But it isn't an SSRI.

As for interactions with medicines, it isn't the simple fact that mixing an MAOI with an SSRI can lead to serotonin syndrome ? it's the fact that SSRI's ALONE can lead to serotonin syndrome and using SJW willy nilly brings you one step closer. If, on top of this the patient has other undiagnosed conditions such as OCD, bi-polar disorder, tourette's  or schizophrenia which already have associated catecholamine elevations, then you can run in to problems. These aforementioned conditions may also mimic serotinin syndrome states. (which is dangerous in itself)

Also one of the reasons that SSRI's are given to young people is because young people tend to dabble in drugs

SJW is reasonably assumed to be contraindicated with any manic condition too, btw.

I've looked in to why it might be contraindicated with the Atkin's diet, and sure enough here it is:

Depression, among other non-cognitive symptoms, is common in patients with dementia. The effect of Hypericum perforatum (St. John's Wort) extract, with well-documented antidepressant activity, was tested on memory retrieval 24 h after training on a one-trial passive avoidance task in mice. Acute administration of Hypericum extract (4.0, 8.0, 12.0, and 25.0 mg/kg i.p.) before retrieval testing increased the step-down latency during the test session. The same doses of Hypericum extract, on the other hand, failed to reverse scopolamine-induced amnesia of a two-trial passive avoidance task. The involvement of serotonergic, adrenergic, and dopaminergic mechanisms in the facilitatory effect of Hypericum extract on retrieval memory was investigated. Pretreatment of the animals with serotonergic 5-HT1A receptor antagonist (-)-pindolol (0.3, 1.0, and 3.0 mg/kg), serotonergic 5-HT2A receptor blocker spiperone (0.01, 0.03, and 0.1 mg/kg), alpha adrenoceptor antagonist phentolamine (1, 5, and 10 mg/kg), beta receptor antagonist propranolol (5, 7.5, and 10 mg/kg), dopaminergic D1 receptor antagonist SCH 23390 (0.01, 0.05, and 0.1 mg/kg), and dopaminergic D2 receptor antagonist sulpiride (5, 7.5, and 10 mg/kg) revealed the involvement of adrenergic and serotonergic 5-HT1A receptors in the facilitatory effect of Hypericum extract on retrieval memory.

It's because of the fact that the Atkin's diet inherently increases dopamine and adrenal hormones, due to the fact that it lowers blood glucose levels, and St. John's wort also likely increases adrenal activity.

I have read differently, and that St. John's Wort has a mix of both SSRI and MAOI properties. Therefore, it's contraindictations are questionable, along with research and experience. And from the experiences of many it's side effects are usually not very common and certainly not as common as pharmaceutical antidepressants. I don't know what your deal is trying to make it look so bad.

I lost my girlfriend because of paroxetine (I always knew she was a slut at heart, it was just a matter of time) in part. Both because of the sexual side-effects, and because I was then ear marked as a mental case. She was a young bitch, she had ignorant and immature ideas.

I went psycho after that. I remember once when I was tearing my hair out, making threats with Hit em Up as background music. (not too loud, because then she couldn't hear the threats)

Locus, yes your right it has less side effects to the usual antidepressants. :wink:

I quit taking it because I was tired of being in a lethargic, antisocial daze of fatigue and COMPLETE loss of sexual desire.  I started taking 900mg of St. John's Wort a few days ago...  I feel A LOT better although it's probably mainly due the the fact the SSRI withdrawal is withdrawing.  :tongue2:

Quote:

From what I have learned to the extent I have read, it has serotonin reuptake properties and it's controversial whether it's mildly an MAOI because it exhibits slight properties.  On the bottle it says not to take with an MAOI such as Yohimbe and Ephedra, though.

I'd say so, SSRI's have an inhibitory effect on dopamine, and when they are stopped, the dopamine system becomes more active.

You aren't supposed to swap those medications so quickly, your supposed to wait 14 days. It states as much on the leaflet issued with the box.

Ill find out more about the chemical properties.

Yeah, it was probably a horrible idea to quit Lexapro and start taking St Johns Wort about 5 days later, but I was thinking so irrationally because of the withdrawal that it sounded like a good idea.  :rolleyes: Go figure. I just hope I don't get screwed up from this.... and I hope my sexual drive comes completely back.

The sex drive will definetly come back. SSRI's are designed to have lasting effects with respect to taming obsessions and compulsions, aswell as depressive thoughts. Weight gained on SSRI's (if it is gained) takes longer to lose for this reason. (decreased "obsession" for maintaining diet and exercise)

But the libido will definetly return, whether it's tomorrow or in 15-20 days isn't important. You have to wait for orgasm to be physiologically more possible, and for the resumption of that compulsion.

It blocks the reuptake of dopamine, noradrenaline, glutamate, and GABA, GABA A and B mostly.

Also what's important is the quality of the SJW you use, it should be high in hyperforin ? if it isn't, then it's good for the rubbish.

The anti-depressant effect is dosage dependent too.

Oh yeah, SocialRejects, the great Internet is also communicating to me that it's supposed to have a calming effect, so if your aggitated/edgy, I'd probably stop taking it for a while. Careful!

You know SJW sounds alright!

Ill find out more about the dosage and the hyperforin contents and get started. (after tapering off Zoloft)

I take zoloft and the sexual side effects suck; but they're nowhere near as bad as prozac was for me. The 'zac was basically 6 months of impotentcy.

I was on St. John's wort but that didn't really do anything except make me get really pissed off and angry at everything even little things. Prozac did that too. Zoloft also did that to me but then it went away.

I am Ubik. Before the universe was, I am. I made the suns. I made the worlds. I created the lives and the places they inhabit; I move them here, I put them there. They go as I say, they do as I tell them. I am the word and my name is never spoken, the name which no one knows. I am called Ubik, but that is not my name. I am. I shall always be.

I've been on SJW for a few weeks now. I have no idea if it's doing anything, but I can atleast get an erection- something I couldn't do when taking SSRIs.
