Re: Beginning to think that I do not have a low T problem

[Guest guest]

When I stopped AD drugs it took me a long time to get my sex life back to

normal. The only thing I took was Maca 1 gram of the powder 2x's a day.

Thanks Phil. I don't know for sure, but I know I was fine before taking this

crap (Zoloft)! If I ask the endo for a full blood panel, then I will know for

sure.

Dr. no had a post about this recently.

http://www.definitivemind.com/forums/showthread.php?t=651 & highlight=ssri

Basically, he said whatever caused you to go on SSRIs in the first place is the

underlying problem that needs correcting. That you were predisposed to have the

problem and the SSRI just helped tip you over. So you have to go back and

remember what you were trying to fix when you started them. Anxiety? That

could be low cortisol. Depression could be low thyroid. Low thyroid can cause

low cortisol. Just throwing out some ideas.

Makes me wonder, because I have taken l-dopa in the past, which is a dopamine

precursor, and have had noticeable increase in libido. There are some on the

PSSD board reporting that they have reversed their symptoms completely by taking

Dostinex/Cabergoline for a short period of time. Dostinex is a dopamine agonist.

Never the less, I will be seeing a endo on the 20th of this month anyways. I'll

keep you guys posted.

I was stuck on the crap for 5 yrs Dr.'s should not tell people when they don't

know what is wrong that they must be depressed.

I lost 5 yrs of my life because of that.

Interesting read. I had anxiety, and this is the reason my doctor suggested I

take try zoloft. I don't think I have thyroid problems, because I really don't

exhibit any of the symptoms. My wife has hypothyroid and she is always cold.
