In reply to severe depression 30 minutes after masturbation, posted by Jeroen on August 25, 2010, at 16:30:06
There is a cure for that. Don't masturbate. (being humorous)
What happens during sex? Well, a lot of dopamine is released.
If your dopamine stores are low, then sex uses them all up and you are left depressed until they start to rebuild. The opioid system is involved too. Adrenaline is used up. Prolactin hormone shoots up.
If those hypothetical assumptions are true, then anything that is anti-dopamine anti-noradrenaline is going to be bad for you.
You know how I am always looking for clues? Remember amantadine? That was a strong clue. Totally ignored, too bad, but still a strong clue. Well, this sex thing is also a strong clue.
The whole antipsychotic thing may indeed be all wrong. Well if we look at your history, we know for sure it is all wrong. It is so commonly assumed that if someone has psychosis symptoms that it can only be an antipsychotic that fixes it....totally false totally wrong.Since you are under the care of others you probably can't do this, but I wish you could somehow get your hands on a single capsule of DLPA 500mg, divide it into 8 equal piles of powder (about 60mg) and do one a day. That would tell a lot.
Remember how Seroquel worked and then pooped out? Well, at the dose you were taking, it was doing a lot of stimulating norepinephrine and dopamine...and maybe the poopout was when your dopamine/norepinephrine factories just couldn't keep up with the fast pace anymore and ran out. And are still run down unable to get back where they were.
And I wish you would try Amantadine again.
Anyway.
