I recently started on Teva-Sertraline. I get horny but can't orgasm or cum at all.

benzos suck for daily usage. but yes it lowers erection strength

>>77568050
Yeah same, i get hard in the morning but zero will for sex;
Then if i jerk off i feel nothing and can't cum.

Tbh, the first weeks it was nice to have zero sex impulse. Now i don't know.

>>77568035
I was the same as >>77568050 as far as SSRIs go. Benzos never fucked with my libido or ability to bust. Why are you on xanax long term? A relatively strong benzo as a long term treatment for what I imagine is anxiety/OCD related is kind of the last resort you want to go to. From my experience and what I've read benzos are usually used to in the first few weeks to smooth out the initial issues when getting on an SSRI. I've used a TCA (clomipramine) and SNRI (venlafaxine) primarily for treating anxiety so there are other things out there. Those didn't work well for me but do for a lot of people. I now use lyrica as required, though a lot of people use it daily that have GAD and for me it's a miracle drug.

I say all this because you really want to try to exhaust your treatment options before you commit to prolonged benzo use because of the risk of abuse. You really, really do not want to end up in that position because the withdrawals are hellish and once you're in addict territory titrating down over time becomes very hard.

>>77568035
If your doctor prescribed you Xanax long-term you should seriously consider murdering him. You are in for one hell of a ride if and when you decide to come off of that shit. Benzo dependency is the worst in existence and benzos arguably shouldn't exist at all.

>>77568084
Yeah he prescribed it for anxiety and insomnia.
I didn't want sleeping pills, i though Xanax was a lesser evil.

>>77568097
Was this a GP or a psychiatrist? Strongly recommend seeing another doctor and it being a psychiatrist that specializes in those issues. Ambien and other sleeping pills have their own issues but as I said you want to avoid long term benzo use unless you have no other choice.

I just spent 2 hours beating my meat and never felt like I was getting close at all. Now my balls hurt like hell.

>>77568097
>I didn't want sleeping pills, i though Xanax was a lesser evil
lol. there's literally no worse option. taper off that shit (look up Ashton method) and use it as needed if you absolutely have to

>>77568103
Thanks, i guess i"m not addicted yet after a month.
I'll probably reduce it slowly

>>77568097
you need therapy not drugs

>>77568106
Are you on benzos too?

>>77568116
Yeah

>>77568097
>i though Xanax was a lesser evil.
Benzo withdrawals are worse than heroin, meth, crack etc. Your doctor is a fucking psycho.>>77568103

Holy land of the free thread look at em theyre all taking state approved meth

>>77568181
That's adderall and ritalin, retard. Benzos are literally the opposite type of drug.

>>77568166
It's easy to taper off. Also a large percentage of people don't get withdrawals. I took Klonopin everyday for over a year and stopped with zero problems.

>>77568035
xanax is the greatest non-anabolic drug ever invented.
But phenibut would be even better if they made it as fast acting as xannies

>>77568082
Just learn self control, ive been on half a mg of klonpin for 8 years and its all good if you are not a nigger and abuse it.
Its not like it feels good, it just makes me fall asleep if i take more than normal

Last June bought 2,500 clonazepams from India after I got my bonus. I figured I could lead an anxiety free existence for a while and finally break free of my anxious brain making decisions for me.

Before I took them though, I bought a time release pill dispenser from eBay and poured all 2000 in, and set the dispenser to release 2 of them every 4 hours. I then chucked the key locking it into place into the woods.

From when I ordered all those, until about mid January, I was browned out, taking about 12 miligrams a day. I remember very little of what I did or who I saw. Overall, it’s caused me a lot of depression because my life has changed so dramatically

Here’s some things I know happened:

1. I have subbed to about 50+ OF girls, spending about 500+ per month

2. I spoke with my neighbor and he said most nights I’d be searching for something in the woods with a flashlight, most likely the pill key

3. I started a dating a fat chick. She’s literally huge and I’m disgusted with myself (she brought me to detox when I ran out of drugs so meh *shrugs*)

4. I no longer talk to any relatives and when I try to reach out they don’t pick up

5. My new job at the bank is significantly worse than my old one (pay wise). However there’s no oversight and very little to do. No wonder the hired me. I can’t afford my bills and in my haze signed up for many credit cards to fund the difference. I’m now deeply in debt

6. I have massive rebound anxiety- my life sucks now

7. My “girlfriend” now thinks we’re getting married and is too dumb to understand I was on a mindless bender. I’m too much of a coward to cop to it

8. My boss thought I was borderline brain dead or “special needs” when I was hired, and is amazed at how well I’m doing on the “right medications” which is what I told him I was doing instead of rehab

Moral of the story, never think the party is limitless. You WILL crash and you WILL burn. Benzos are now causing me to pick up the pieces of what once was a normal life

>>77568035
If all y'all just stopped jacking off and playing videogames, you would have nerd doc prescribing you cuck pills

>>77568429
These people are totally incapable of holding a conversation, making friends, socializing etc.
So they have nothing else to do but porn, video games, 4chan etc which leads to all these other problems.

>>77568035
Holy fuck imagine being retarded enough to get on this shit
Cattle

>>77568097
xanax and ambien are pretty much in the same camp. ambien isn't a benzo but it's a z-drug so it's very similar and the withdrawal blows just like xanax withdrawal. most of the hardcore sleeping pills are either benzos or z-drugs so you're kind of fucked if the weaker pills don't help.

I really hope we get better sleeping meds soon because none of the options work well for me.

>>77568425
Tbh, it sounds like you enhanced your life!
Also, your boss seems to be very cool

>>77568035
You'll regret the entire fucking duration you were on benzos fren.

Quit them and build up internal strength instead. They have one use case n that's for acute panic attacks

>>77568403
>Just learn self control
Some people simply don't have that self control. Some people are genetically more prone to addiction and once they try a drug all logic and reason goes out the window. Their brain starts playing tricks on them and at that point self control just isn't a factor.
With alcohol for example some people have a gene (i think?) that causes them to enjoy alcohol far more than other people.

>>77568425
Sounds pretty based to be honest. Shoulda bought clonazolam instead though. You could've blacked out off 1 pill. Ate all the rest while blacked out. And then woke up in jail 5 states away. Done your 3-6 months and been scared straight and back to normal life.

I never got recreational benzo use. For me there it's either no psychoactive effect whatsoever or I just black out if I take too much. What's the fun?

Been on SSRIs for 2 weeks and it's hell. I can't orgasm at all and they make me extra horny. I am watching the old Justice League animated show and everytime Wonder Woman appears, I get insta hard.

For me its hawk girl with her sexy voice

>>77568035
i'm on Paxil. after a few months the side effects settle down and you'll be back to normal.

Just wait until Wonder Loli shows up
