    I dropped my meds cold turkey when that happened like a decade ago, and told my current GP I’d do it again if he put me on anything that affected my libido.

    He showed me though, I’m pretty sure my libido is up after getting the dosage sorted.

        It was better than the mental fucking they were giving me. Like I told the GP, they’re not helping and we’re going to make the problem worse if I stayed on them.

          Hey, I’m not saying “don’t go off meds if they’re doing more harm than good” I’m saying “going cold turkey off mental health meds instead of doctor/therapist guided tapering is a bad idea”

          Mine ended 6 months after cold turkey on Zoloft. Doctors just… Didn’t know at all, when it happened.

          I was thinking I still get them from time to time but in writing this post I realized I only get shivers, not the full zap.

    For me they did not kill my sex drive but made me unable to cum. But the psychiatrist said that since I don’t have a girlfriend so that’s not a problem right?

      I had a couple of ADHD pills that made it painful when I came. After trying a few, I found a good one and my cums are normal now.

      Just try different pills until you find one that works for you.

          Fortunately, you’re only disappointing yourself. Find the right meds now so when you find her, there would be no problems.
