Moderator Emeritus mammaP Posted June 26, 2017 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted June 26, 2017 Hello Yaseen, welcome to SA. I am sorry to see that you are struggling with PSSD and can understand why you are anxious about it when you are a going to be married. Can you tell us when you stopped Luvox, and if you tapered or just stopped taking it? Do you take any other drugs? We ask all our members to fill in their signature with a brief list of drugs and doses, with any tapering history. You can find how to do that here... http://survivingantidepressants.org/index.php?/topic/12364-please-put-your-withdrawal-history-in-your-signature/ We do not recommend any drugs, except in some cases reinstating the drug that they are withdrawing from. We have a PSSD topic where others have shared their experiences and what might help. It is a worry for you but the best thing to do is try not to force the feelings. Psychiatric drugs and withdrawal can all cause sexual dysfunction but it does get better in time. The nervous system is unstable because of the drugs and it controls everything including sexual feelings. The human body is remarkable and can heal from the drug use and withdrawal but it takes time. Here are some topics for you to read. When you understand what is happening to you it is easier to cope with. Trying to force sexual feelings leads to disappointment and more frustration. What is withdrawal syndrome http://survivingantidepressants.org/index.php?/topic/603-what-is-withdrawal-syndrome/ PSSD forum http://survivingantidepressants.org/index.php?/topic/52-post-ssri-sexual-dysfunction-pssd **I am not a medical professional, if in doubt please consult a doctor with withdrawal knowledge. Different drugs occasionally (mostly benzos) 1976 - 1981 (no problem) 1993 - 2002 in and out of hospital. every type of drug + ECT. Staring with seroxat 2002 effexor. Tapered March 2012 to March 2013, ending with 5 beads. Withdrawal April 2013 . Reinstated 5 beads reduced to 4 beads May 2013 Restarted taper Nov 2013 OFF EFFEXOR Feb 2015 Tapered atenolol and omeprazole Dec 2013 - May 2014 Tapering tramadol, Feb 2015 100mg , March 2015 50mg July 2017 30mg. May 15 2018 25mg Taking fish oil, magnesium, B12, folic acid, bilberry eyebright for eye pressure. My story http://survivingantidepressants.org/index.php?/topic/4199-hello-mammap-checking-in/page-33 Lesson learned, slow down taper at lower doses. Taper no more than 10% of CURRENT dose if possible Link to comment
