Does anyone have an antidepressant they've tried that doesn't give them horrible sexual side effects such as loss of libido and inability to orgasm? All the SSRIs seem to do that. Zoloft, Paxil, Amitriptyline. They make me happy but I'm dead below the waist.
Mirtazapine worked for me for a while but it pooped out, and Wellbutrin makes me feel ridiculously amped up. So those are no good.
I'm married, and I've been depressed to varying degrees for years (severely now), but I don't want to give up my sex life because that's one of the few things in my life I enjoy.
Truth. Although the problem is that you have to maintain enough executive function when drunk to prevent yourself from ingesting a drug. Easier said than done.
I love LSD, and I've done a few (<10) full trips in my youth. But as I've gotten older that kind of intense experience just doesn't have the same appeal. One thing my friends and I have discovered is the pleasantness of micro-dosing. Put 1 tab of acid in 4 tablespoons of water, mix it a bit, let it sit for 10 minutes, and then each person takes a tablespoon. In about 45 minutes it comes on but it's not strong at all. No hall of mirrors effect, no out-of-control feeling, just 4 hours of laughing and a heightened sense of being in tune with your surroundings. Highly recommended.
