@markc2008 it was the same for me. I accidentally quit cold turkey because I had no idea how serious it was. I thought id resume whenever I got around to picking up my medication.

you can look me up on the pssd forum for more detail (username: sovietxrobot). my impression is that whatever damage withdrawal did, its permanent. it can be mitigated with medication but I can't function without it.

what does of buspirone were you on? its pretty common to get a boost the first few days, and then it levels off. did you try increasing the dosage? its strange that Wellbutrin had a negative effect on you, I have no explanation for that. If viagra helps you, thats actually a good sign- when I was at my worst, I had no response to stimuli, so viagra wasn't able to do anything.

I think you should go have a physical exam by a urologist, and they can order a hormone panel for you. that should be the starting point. see how increased dosage of buspar effects you. you can also try nitric oxide or related supplements (l-citruline, l-arginine)- PSSD and SSRIs can deplete NO, which is an important part of sexual response.

Thanks yeah I’m on the pssd forum as well. I do take citrulline but not sure what it is doing to help. The buspirone did not help at all at first. It took several weeks and then the effects of it helping lasted a week. The wellebutrin sort of made what was already weak attempts of an erection worse, but on days I wouldn’t take it to start tapering everything was way better. I can’t explain what caused this though. I have very very little response to stimuli. Somehow the viagra and cialis is enough to work with manual stimulation. What medication helps you? Has your reactions to stimuli or libido improves with time? I hope it’s not permanent.
