Re: Sleep deprivation and PSSD

[Guest guest]

this has come up before i think bicker & my self discussed this as a

possible cause of his recent partial recovery, i think he said he

hadn't been sleeping for a while and then he had a couple of nights

good sleep before he experienced his improvement.

i also was sleep deprived when i had one day of spontaneous erections

out of the blue a few months ago.

it does make you sort of drunk when your sleep deprived, i thought it

could be that pssd is some sort of extreme state of alertness.

I think it is more leikly to be.

1. The increase in dopamine levels.

2.The increase in seretonin levels.

3.The improvement of the neurotransmittors.

[Guest guest]

possibly, it these neurotransmitters that are shut down during (rem)

sleep and its(rem)sleep when you get night time erections.

I've noticed that if I'm really really tired there is a slight

increase in sexuality as well.

But I doubt it is directly related to any of the neurotransmitters you

listed. I didn't have any such effect while on Wellbutrin, Zoloft, or

Remeron, or Requip and they all effect those chemicals.

What else could it be? Maybe this points to something.

being sleep deprived you are in another state of mind, its kind of

like a drunken state of sorts.

i do seem to be more sexuall when sleep deprived as you do, it could

point towards something i brought up a while ago about transcranial

electromagnetic stimulation.(search archives)

http://www.revolutionhealth.com/conditions/mental-behavioral-

health/depression/other-treatments/transcranial-magnetic

this thing you can set to different frequency's it can stimulate or

suppress different regions of the brain effectively shutting down

whole areas of bran structure if set to do so.

experiments done on this have discovered it as a experimental

treatment for depression. they are unsure of its method of action,

but at a guess its probably shutting down or suppressing surtain

areas of brain that are causing the depression.

a scientist researching savonts (thats gifted people that are

slightly handy capped i.e the rain man) has discovered that when he

used this to shut down surtain areas of test subjects brains, they

were capable of things that they were not able to do while that area

of the brain was active. i.e being artistic able to draw pictures

that they were beforehand not capable of.

this effect is also observed amongst people that have suffered a

brain injury i.e stroke or head trauma, they sometimes develop

ability's they did not posses before hand.

so it could be that ssris have left our brains hard wired or

permanently switched on to a surtain way of thinking and sleep

deprivation is activating other regions of the brain or suppressing

the causal areas.

1. All of those drugs are dopamine reuptake inhibitors or doapmine

reuptake inhibitors or dopamine agonists.

2. These dopamine related drugs do not increase your testosterone, but

they do inhance your libido and inhance your fantacies (this has been

noticed by most of the people in this group).

3. The other effect of massively increasing the amount of serotonin in

your synapse and enhancing your serotonin transporters may increase

testosterone (this has been noted by the users of the drug extacy in

thsi group).

4. Therefore, severe sleep deprivation (as opposed to mild sleep

deprivation which has completely different effects) may improve your

libido via at least 2 methods.

Bear in mind though that there are lots of different theories about

severe sleep deprivation, and it is a complex issue. I expect that

serotonin reuptake is involved however.

we need more of a understanding about the serotonin transporter.

I had about a 50% recovery from PSSD and had improved mood last night

after having a day where I completely broke my normal routine. I ate

a lot of junk food, had tons of soda, went out to loud bar and clubs

and forced myself to socialize. When I came home at around 2:30 in

the morning that is when I noticed the recovery. I blasted a lot of

music that I love in my headphones to zone out and I felt even

better. I should also mention that I didn't wake up yesterday until

1:30 in the afternoon and I didn't go to bed until 5:30 in the

morning. Today though, I'm back to complete and total PSSD and poor

mood. I wish I understood why this happened.
