Hello,
I have a problem. I'm taking psychotropic medication because I have mental health issues, and I'm 23 years old. My problem is that I haven't been able to masturbate for a few months, and that's stupid. It's taking away my masculinity when you can't do it anymore at 23. It's also stupid if I have a girlfriend or something and can't have sex. What's causing this, the antidepressants? What should I do?

the serotonin that you have improved is used up too quickly?
I've been prescribed Elevanse Adult starting today. Unfortunately, I wasn't adequately informed about side effects. However, I've heard that it can cause side effects like loss of appetite. Or is that only the case with Ritalin? Perhaps someone could explain this to me a little more. Thank you in advance!
Hi, how quickly does ibuprofen work for fever and pain?
In March 2020, the Swabian company Curevac from Tübingen announced that it would produce a vaccine against COVID-19 for the entire world, and that mass vaccinations could begin as early as the fall. At the time, this was a great glimmer of hope for the world, as everyone had hoped for a vaccine, and the…
I'm not sure if I've already been vaccinated against measles twice, because I need a vaccination certificate for my training (to become a kindergarten teacher) stating that I've already been vaccinated twice. I hope you can tell from the pictures, but it should actually be two vaccinations, right? And should I scan it, print it…
Many antidepressants can lead to sexual dysfunction. Especially those who inhibit the resumption of serotonin. With over 90% of all antidepressants, this mechanism is central.
Sexual dysfunctions are one of the most common side effects of antidepressants and the main reason why many affected people take off the drugs once they get a little better. As a result, however, there is a risk that certain symptoms of disease can again be noticed.
Sexual functional disorders usually last for the duration of the entire treatment and in some cases also a few months beyond it. Unfortunately, you can’t do anything about it. Potency agents also do not help men. They only promote blood circulation of the member, but the problem is in the head. Antidepressants intervene in the metabolism of the brain, thereby reducing the psychological sexual excitability.
In principle, there are only the following possibilities:
In certain cases, the sex disorder is dose-dependent. Wants to know that sexuality works more or less at low doses while it does not do when taking high doses. If you are stable for a time, the dose can be reduced by consultation with the doctor.
A drug change represents a further option. Each person reacts slightly differently to any antidepressant. This concerns both the degree of efficacy and the expression of the side effects. On the one hand, another antidepressant, which also inhibits the resumption of serotonin, can trigger less severe sexual disorders. However, the chances of this are clear. On the other hand, the treatment can be considered by an antidepressant which does not lead to sexual dysfunction. However, there are few options:
However, effectiveness is always at the forefront. No one can address predictions like an individual to an antidepressant. A change therefore always involves the risk that the effectiveness or compatibility is worse.
The antidepressants cause the sexual side effects because they increase serotonin.
serotonin acts sexually inhibiting as well as reduced testosterone because serotonin decreases dopamine and increases dopamine testosterone.
You can try to accept the side effects or talk to your doctor.
There is the principle of causality “No cause, no effect”. This means that this side effect is reversible.
Maybe you’ll find a friend who can handle your problem.
New SERT is formed, which can resume serotonin. The metabolized molecules do not inhibit newly formed SERT.
There’s nocebo.
This side effect can be sustained after decommissioning, and must now also be pointed out in the package leaflet
I did my answer.
This is a well-known common side effect, however, you can’t do anything.
“What should I do?”
Talk to your doctor about it. I also have the problem with my heart medication. I’m 80….
