NEW MEMBER - hey everybody! - about to try L-Tyrosine. any thoughts?

[Guest guest]

hi everybody! i'm glad to have found a support group like this and will find it

eternally

hillarious (note sarcasm) that in order to improve our collective depressions,

we had to

unknowingly trade in our sex lives (at least as we knew them). the pharma co's

can bite

me! ...and i digress

i was fortunate enough (not sarcasm again) to have SD prior to depression (ED,

decreased

sensitivity, trouble reaching orgasm). i went to a specialist at loyola in

chicago who was

smart enough to prescribe me Trazodone, which did not seem to make it any worse.

after

four years of trazodone, my depression was still around and i decided to try

Lexapro

because of all it's praises (ha). about 1-2 years into Lexapro, i found myself

unable to

orgasm from vaginal / oral sex or even a hand job! after four years or so on

lexapro, i

quit, thanks to the help of orthomollecular medicine, which i highly

reccomend!!! the

withdrawl was difficult and i resorted to st. john's wort, which is a natural

ssri, or sorts. i

quit st. john's wort about a week ago in the hopes of regaining my lost

sensitivity, ability

to orgasm during intercourse and libido. as far as treatment of my PSSD, i'm on

ginkgo

biloba and korean ginseng but have only seen mild to moderate improvement with

my ED

and not much more. can anyone suggest any other supplements / treatments??

L-tyrosine

sounds somewhat promising so far.

NOTE - during the withdrawl from lexapro, everything returned to normal for the

course

of a few days to a week!!! i thought i was cured!!! but, that was fleeting. any

thoughts as to

why and if this is a sign that someday my SD will deminish???

thanks everybody and good luck to everyone!!!
