Using 5-HTP or Tryptophan for Premature Ejaculation

[momo3]

Hello fellow bluelighters.

Man, I've not been on this thread in over 5 years.

I used to be a oxy and then heroin addict. I used to love this forum because I was fascinated with drugs.

Thankfully, I was able to get clean and sober with some rehab, after treatment, and a move to a new state. I've now been sober over 5 years. I do not mean to say that to brag, but just to instill hope if someone is struggling out there.

I loved drugs and miss them sometimes, and I wish you all the best with everything with them.

..............

I used to enjoy opiates for their effect on my orgasm. As someone who was given SSRI's ever since early post-puberty, my "orgasmic threshold" has been toyed with a lot via my life. I also was an opiate addict, as stated above, off and on again throughout college.

So i've gone through long periods of being able to have long sex, and other periods of having very short time to orgasm. I do not know if the on-and-off of drug use has done this to me.. or that it is more of a genetic thing.

I think its more of a genetic thing.

Anyway, despite me being sober from drugs to get me high, I have been on a small dose of Lexipro for the past few years.

But this last month I went off of it and went onto 5-HTP.

I do not really have depression as much any more, and was mainly taking the lex so I'd last longer with my GF.

(When not on any meds, I believe I have true PE where I ejaculate within a few short minutes. )

Anyway, I have recently gone onto 200 MG of slow release 5-HTP as I've read it may affect the serotonin in the brain and create a similar delayed-orgasm effect of SSRIS.

So far, I do not feel it significantly. I was thinking maybe I am orgasming early because of a rebound effect of going OFF of the SSRIS, but, perhaps that shouldn't happen as I am fulfilling that gap with 5-HTP.

..........

SOOOOOOOO in thsi long winded thread, I am just wondering if its feasable to take 5-HTP + other OTC herbal type drugs to help hinder early orgasm.

I also would prefer to take typtophan instead of 5-HTP as is significantly cheaper.

So, if you're a drug-whiz and could help me, it would be a great help. I would also possibly hire someone to help research this, as I want to come up with a very nice little concoction that I can use........

Thanks so much
M

I would move this to SLR, but I think the combination you are asking for may be a bit specific. I am also reluctant to move it to SLR since we try to stay away from threads asking for medicinal ways to cure pre-mature ejaculation. However, I'll suggest searching in Sex, Love and Relationships for pre-mature ejaculation remedies that others have suggested.

We'll try BDD first.

Homeless -> BDD

Yeah It actually can help if you look online low seratonin levels and high histamine levels are major factors in PE for alot of ppl with it. I used to take opiates b4 sex too to last forever, now I take 300-400mgs of 5htp and a normal dose of antihistamines and I find it helps quite a bit

i've been suffering from this problem too. i never used to, but ever since i started using opiates its been quite the annoying problem.
as i'm sure you know, when you're high on opiates you can be nothing but King Dick in bed.
but whenever i'm NOT high , it seems, my cannon seems ready to blast pretty much as soon as the wick gets lit if y'nom sayin.
i'm also taking a daily dose of sertraline, another ssri. strangely, this hasn't helped me at all, as i'd hoped it would (perhaps this is because i'm still using opiates? as far as i know ssri's have few contraindications with opiates, though.)
perhaps i'll consider taking 5-htp as well. can anyone else share insight into this?

Raver --- where have you seen that about histamines?

Horsey -- I do think going on and off with opiates will often be night and day with ejaculation times..

But I think by default I just simply do not last long...

Also --- does anyone have proof that 5-HTP and/or antihistamines work? Or is it just kind of a theory?
