two lovely kitties that dote on you? .. crazy cat ladies FTW. I bet they're always pleased to see you. they'll always need a mama to jump on and keep em in line when they're crawlin' in and out of places they shouldn't. and they'll always want someone who'll give in to shameless displays of cuteness, just so you'll give em more grub.

Hope you manage to find a more positive head space soon, and catch a bit of that old blessing Luck, if there's some going around <3

My two babies are my only company at the moment and the main reason I'm still bothering to be here.

Just been to call on a mate, who said he was worried about me recently , told me I was looking too skinny and to give him a knock if I needed anything. His lights are on, but he's not answering the door. I need company at the moment, it's fucking vital i'm not on my own. I'm only miserable when i'm by myself, when i'm with people I forget about it, which is why I go to the night shelter to eat, or soup kitchen where I know there's people I know. I'm tired of people saying they care, but where are they?

Gonna curl up with a film and try not to think.
 
Many Ads effect libido for some people but that doesn't equate to impotence, certainly not in my experience.

I've always had quite a high sex drive but Venlafaxine has pretty much removed it altogether, it's an odd thing I never really understood my partner in the past when she said that she just didn't want sex as much as I did, it was always a bit of an issue that would bubble to the surface every now and again and we found different ways to deal with it over thee years.

Now I could if I wanted to but I just don;t have the urge, it's a worry and not something I've managed to discuss with her as yet, I guess I'm worried that this is what she always wanted, a sexless relationship. But I know that can't really last, or at least the relationship will be lessened by our lack of physical intimacy.

Guess, as it's always been I will have to raise the subject before it becomes a real issue, the kind you don't talk about:\

I'm going to take some blues and watch the telly I seem to be in a mournful mood and you guts could well do without reading my moaning.
 
I've been on 20mg fluoxetine a day for seven weeks now - a low dose admittedly - but I woke up last night with a raging hard on having had sexy dreams and needed to finish myself off. SSRIs can't be complete castration then!

Mind you I'm always randy.

That's reassuring to know Knockoneout. I suppose it just goes one way or the other. Side effects doesn't mean it's gonna happen.

Exactly, there are loads of side effects for fluoxetine that I've not had! In fact I think I've not had most of them.

EDIT and yeah I'm ignoring the "knockoneout" thing :p ;)

SSRI's = Sexual Castration in my experience.

Can't really comment on SSRIs I've tried most of the common ons but not for very long, Venlafaxine, as I'm sure you know is an SNRI but I suspect the effect is similar but being male and you not I'm not sure by you obvious metaphorical; use of the word "castration".

Like I said I could of of I had the inclination, but I juts don't seem to have the inclination, I think with a bit more encouragement I could manage a reasonably regular performance (sorry struggling for the right right words a bit) but in the past its almost always been me that has instigated such activity so its turning into a bit of a problem, for me anyway.

Like I said it's always been a bit of an issue anyway so it's no big surprise, I guess I'm a little disappointed I've got to be the one to try an sort it out....again even though we have discussed the very issue of it always having to be me that raises the subject, its getting to be so I can hardly get in the bedroom the elephants so fekin big :\
 
Yeah, I know tis an SNRI :)

Venlafaxine, did not agree with me at all. Was put on 150mg of it when I was 23, after not responding to others and self harming via cutting in a bad way. It sent me off into a spiral of promiscuous activity just to feel something, even though the usual end result was difficult to reach. Having symptoms of borderline personality disorder, promiscuousness is one of them, along with spontaneous behavior, drinking , drug taking , the list goes on.

My use of the word castration, I just meant that it killed the ability to reach climax, so the bits may as well have been useless. I don't have the bits to castrate off being female and all, it was purely metaphorical yes ;)
 
i've been on and of cipralex, an ssri, for a few years. libido at first went away, then came back but couldn't fire one off, now is not affected at all.
 
Well 23...difficult age ;)

I'm not really sure about the personality disorder thing, I certainly think I could do with more time with a psychiatrist but I ain't gonna get it from the NHS that's for sure. I've never really had a diagnosis to speak of, more assessments when I've been unwell, stuff like acute clinical depression and GAD...no shit Sherlock ! and you get paid for that.

Yeah sure takes allot more for me to make it on the odd opportunity I get to do so these days but for a bloke thats no bad thing and at the moment I can get there in the end.

I think I'm fairly stable at the moment, the Benzo issue is a problem but I'm not taking anything else at all, not the best drug of choice but there you go, we are where we are and I'm functional on a day to day basis.

I feel very little, I haven't cried in along time or really felt much at all, but that's probably for the best at the moment, I simply can't risk going back to that dark place, everytime I go here I that bit closer to not leaving by the right route. I've come a long way in the last 2-3 years but I think I still need that chemical control until I have more inner strength to cope with the full spectrum of emotion.

Some people seem to have this built in, or maybe thats just how it seems, I don't want that I want to be me but be able to cope with it, I think its always been like that, in retrospect it's part of the reason I've never really been happy, without chemical assistance.

Its going to be different this time I'm ref-formating and starting back at the beginning, I've backed up anything I think might come in handy, it's time I started to assemble MK - 2.3.6.1.43.23 :)

I remember being on seroxat when I was 18 and having the worst headaches when I climaxed. Didn't happen with prozac but then it did knock out my libido. Now I'm on citalopram and I don't feel like there's many side effects at all. Sex drive seems pretty normal and no major headaches. Oh, and feeling happier too - who'd of thunk it?
 
^^ I was also put on seroxat @ 18.

Never liked the stuff. Thank god I didn't take half as much as I was supposed to.

I've come to realize that I only ever get depressed after abusing drugs (benzos in particular) so have no reason to take anti d's.
 
Urgh, Seroxat, nasty wee pills, I call that devils spunk, I also call Citalopram the same name.

Week after I was prescribed Seroxat when I was 24, Panorama aired a programme about it's problems, and how it had been proven to show an increase in suicides or suicide attempts in young people.
