I'm probably going to relax a lot and play around with my camera on my break.

The whole point of this thread is that when I decided to call my doctor and get some help is when I seriously thought through and felt that it was a valid answer a quick, easy suicide scenario three times in one day. I may be depressed, I may be sad or lonely but when I think about killing myself three time in one day and it seems like a good idea I know that I cannot help myself no matter how strong I think I am. The loss of an orgasm here and there for a while is not a big deal when compared to that. When I think rationally and logically about what I'm feeling I know that my brain chemistry is off balance and I would rather have the doctors play with my psyche at this point in time than to leave it up to my own fucked up decision making capability.

Self hurting is never a valid answer and if it seems so then there is a serious problem.

<hugs> You can't go all suicidal without having first taken us to the chile festival!!

I won't but if I bring Whitney down with me will you spank her? She needs it.

Isn't whitney your cat?

 

[Betticus]

No, Deathwish is my cat.

This is Whitney.

Hm. Does Whitney know that you're volunteering her for spankings?

No but she loves them and her fiancee won't do it and since she has a fiancee I can't do it either. And they are both kind of living with me at the moment as roomies so I'm sensitive to her anguish over the vanilla boyfriend thing.

Must not be bugging her that bad if she's gonna marry him.

Okay, apparently I'm cursed with the bad side effects of the zoloft that the doc put me on. On the good side I am extremely calm. It's kind of like an extremely light dose of ecstasy. On the down side I'm drowsy, just a bit shaky but that's going away but as of this morning I can't orgasm. I'm really calm though. Loss of sex drive and difficulty acheiving orgasm are some of the possible side effects, unfortunately I got the inability to orgasm without much in the way of loss of sex drive.

Somebody come and give me a hug!

((hugs))

You might want to ask to have Trazadone added to the Zoloft. When I started Zoloft I got very... tense doesn't cover it exactly. sort of a low grade irritation that made me snippy. It took a couple of days after starting the trazadone but it made a big difference in alertness and feeling relaxed rather than tense. But I agree, felling normal (even with the associated side effects) is a lot better than not being motivated to do anything.

*edit*
ImSkye - there aren't enough studies that show how some of these anti-depressants work in children (pre-teens, teens), and some of the anecdotal evidence shows that they really need to be monitored a lot more than adults, because of some of the nastier reactions such as suicidal thoughts.

Having been taking anti-depressants for over a decade on and off again (mostly on), I would suggest that someone taking the meds also go through the talk therapy as well for a bit to learn to work through the "why are you feeling this way" stuff. Sometimes there is a specific issue that needs to be addressed and some people are just prone to having the chronic chemical (seratonin, etc.) imbalance. I understand that part of mine is my health issues, which I am trying to coorect the ones I can, but I also seem to be someone who is prone to the imbalance as well. For me, learning to recognize the symptoms and getting started back on the medication as soon as possible helped keep it from getting bad for me. You have to keep in mind that it can take 6 to 8 week or longer for the anti-depressants to be fully effective, and may take longer than that to work out optimal doses and combinations.

For me the sexual side effects are nothing compared to being a walking zombie with no emotions at all. I find that in the proper mind set, I can have a major orgasm. It just wont be every time, and a damned sight better than not feeling anything at all.

It may also mean trying a number of different ones until you find the one that works for you. Prozac did nothing for me, sure it evened me out emotionally and kept me from having crying jags for no reason, but I couldn't feel happy or sad or anything while on it. I got lucky that I found a combination that worked for me but even so it took a couple of months.

I suppose I could try wellbutrin, but I am happy with my meds as they are now, and if I change, it will take a month or more to know if it is working for me. And if it doesn't, another month for the combo that works for me to get back up to effective levels.

Hang in there Betticus. At some point you will hit a combo that works well for you.

oooooh that's a bitchy looking face. Bitchy faces need spanked bottoms. I haven't any issues with delivering a spanky or more if she and fiance are okeyday with it. I like SSC and C needs to be among all affected like said fiance. So yeah if they're ok with it I'm fine with it. mmmmmm tender fleshy bottoms to spank.

LOL Now look what you did, Betticus. Getting sphyx all worked up, when fiancee probably won't go for it.

Just a note - trazodone is also prescribed for insomnia, so you have to be careful with the dosage and what time of day you take it, or you'll end up groggy the next day.

BINGO! This is how I feel, exactly.

I'll make sure to check, if she's going to be a pill she's not coming though.

Hey! Is that a big plate of cookies still hot from the oven over there on the table?

I have been sleeping better on the zoloft in general.

Something interesting though: When I perform or do the visualisation techniques I have noticed that the level of detail and realism is just freakishly intense.

Like when you are doing memorization exercises or visualising something you are about to do like lifting a weight or projecting out your handwriting a letter or so ahead before you actually write it so that it's neat and ledgible.

Just an observation. Dreams are really vivid and realistic too.

I was going to give it a chance to level out but I'm keeping a running short list of the good and bad effects so I can discuss it with the doc when I go for a checkup.

Nope. *brushes crumbs off shirt*

And I'm not that easily distracted. I can eat cookies and lecture.

My dreams always get more vivid too. Sometimes they seem really real, like I think they really happened, but the details could never happen. I have to be careful about that.

Not only is trazodone prescribed for insomnia (I take it when necessary), it's used to trank some psych patients. So be careful. As my nurse put it, it worked as an antidepressant but they had to wake everyone up to ask them how they felt.

 

[tealsphynx]

I have pretty vivid dreams sometimes and I'm not on any meds


Draggie says he has no issues with another person recieving spankings as long as they are watchable and shared. he is never averse to spankings

I wouldn't want more vivid dreams. My dreams are weird enough as it is.

And I've always had trouble with telling my dreams from reality. Luckily my dreams are quite often impossible (like when I turned into Johny Phantom).

 

[Betticus]

My dreams are pretty impossible too, like the one where I'm suave, sexy and debonaire like James Bond.
