I do. I feel better. I can have sex. I would rather not have a girlfriend and and have the capacity to have sex than not have a girlfriend, not have the capacity to have sex if I were to find one, and have a stupid false-hope a drug will cure my SP in a few more weeks. Seems to me like I was always living for that extra few more weeks when the drug was going to kick in, only to find to have to repeat the same thing on a different drug with the same failing result.
I'm seeking a seriously big-wig psychopharmacologist at Beth Isreal soon for a consult (he's got too many patients, but will give me a 1-hr consult).
I want to go on Klono and forget this pathetic, never-ending drug trial story. I like reminding myself I have a libido of a 19 yr old and not a 70 year old. Why? Because I am a 19 year old, and my psychopharma shouldn't even think about suggesting I try friggin' Viagra. Gosh, they make you so screwed up I begin to relate to Bob Dole. Bob bleapin' Dole.
My advice to all you non-responders out there: think about not listening to the Nardil chorus and do your own thing. Nardil is not likely to do anything but for a small portion of people. And that's to say if it does work, you have no sex drive and will have to be vigiliant about not over-doing any stims.
Heck, you might be back to where you started, which could be a good thing.
And for those of you who have social anxiety and responded to an SSRI- good for you. But I know too many friends who have social anxiety who are on Celexa and others who don't even know why they keep taking it anymore. I did that for a year straight before even bothing with another med. I want to be supportive of you guys on this board, but I don't believe people who claim it worked on them. But I'm bias.
