SSRIs and sex drive

[EmdyEmay]

I’ve been on a high dose sertraline (better known as Zoloft) prescription for a few years.

On the one hand it’s great because it nearly annihilates my sex drive.

On the other hand it ain’t perfect. It doesn’t make me “complete” or even fully happy as a person. I think if there was a drug that did, soshitety wouldn’t prescribe it to me anyway, as it feels like the world has never really wanted me actually “happy”, it just wants me alive whether I want to be or not. I was only prescribed anything at all because everybody told me I was “sick” and insisted on taking me to a doctor.

I used to look at women I wanted who’d never want me back, and it the mental anguish would actually make me feel hurt physically. I used to have to masturbate about twice a day, but now it’s more twice a week! I still feel horny, but it’s a lot less physically horny, and it’s hard for me to even get a boner now! I don’t have the same rage inside towards people who are more successful with women than me anymore, or rage at myself. That’s great! Though if I got the chance with the perfect woman now, I don’t know how I’d “perform”!

I wish it’d make me “high”, or proper “happy”.

I love speed for getting “happy”/high. I used to find relief from occassional MDMA use, but since sertraline, MDMA no longer affects me at all! I mean, I can literally swallow half a gram of mandy/molly now and feel absolutely nothing!

Anyone else with experience with anti-depressants? SSRIs? Tricyclics? MAO inhibitors?

Phenelzine (Nardil) interests me as I know of a guy with aspergers who tried it and say it’s a wonder drug, and I think I probably have undiagnosed aspergers, and I find methylphenidate (ritalin) a wonder drug (but only when ground into powder and snorted).

Everytime I was an anti dep I was still really horny, pity it takes so long to cum. I was jacking off like 3 times a day, friction burns on my dick because it took like an hour to cum lmao

The one goddamn time in my life I could've got laid I was sexually dead because of the sertraline I was on.

JFL at my entire life

You have swallowed the big pharma pills. Now you are dumbed down and more complacent for where you are... Not sure if thats a positive thing

If I’m unhappy with how I fit into the world, I can either change the world or change how I feel about it. One of those options is overly ambitious for my lifetime!

I'm on sertraline too. It's made my mood more stable but kills my sex drive and makes me nauseous

Take your jewpills it will make you feel all better

Why do people call them “jew pills”? Call me naïve if you want, but honestly, what does sertraline have to with Judaism? Is it a meme I’ve never seen? Can anyone explain the reasons/history behind calling them “jew pills”? I’m not Jewish, but was still given them. Is this unusual?

Does speed still work for you if you're on SSRIs? I heard they can give you a serotonin syndrome combined with MDMA plus it won't work as you described.

Doing MDMA every 4-6 weeks > Jewpills

 

[PleaseKillMeLoseSkin]

Something that'll make me feel 12 again tbh, meth maybe?

Consumer Capitalism of which Jews are the stereotypical advocates of, relies on selling a lot of these pills to keep up profit margins

Speed works great!

MDMA does nothing whatsoever. I wondered why and looked it up. MDMA relies on the serotonin reuptake transporters to work. Sertraline works by totally blocking the transporters.

Speed works much more on the dopamine rather than the serotonin.

As for serotonin syndrome, well, I was never that bothered whether or not I died anyway, so I took my chances!

BTW. “Ecstacy”, your username is similar to mine! LOL!

Would it be better than prozac and xanax?

MDMA is awesome

Prozac is the same as sertraline/Zolofy.

Xanax is fucking awesome too.

Care to elaborate?

What has less side effects, xanax or mdma or prozac?

 

[EmdyEmay]

What has less side effects, xanax or mdma or prozac?

I’d say Xanax has the least initial side effects, as I don’t consider things like drowsiness or driving impairment as side effects because one taking a benzo would completely expect those effects. Kind of like how I wouldn’t consider drunkeness as a side effect of alcohol.
MDMA has more inconsistent side effects. Some days you take it and you may get anxiety in crowds or lose your sense of direction, or grind your teeth, but on other days you wouldn’t.
Prozac has mostly the same side effects as my medication. They are side effects as a reasonable person may not expect things such as nausea or bruxism or loss of libido, are inconsistent between person to person, but do not differ much from day to day within the same person.
For me, loss of libido is a welcome side effect for as long as I’m not getting any opportunities for sex.
The main unexpected and easily most horrendous side effect of these drugs comes from Xanax. That main side effect being a mental then physical dependence that creeps up on you and sudden withdrawal from daily use can literally kill.
BTW. I’m new to this. What does “JFL” stand for?

Xanax side effects get worse the more you use it? Does the prozac just effect libido or does it also make a non-suicidal person think about suicide?
