Quote from: DaneS89 on December 29, 2023, 05:04:48 AMAn open question to anyone reading this and comfortable enough to answer - do any of you here agonise and obsess about the (possible) sexual side effects of antidepressant medications, especially within the context of peyronies disease? That is if you take them of course, and if so, I'd be curious to know, were you on them already or did they enter the scene post-peyronies to help manage the emotional toll of the condition? Do you deem them as a 'necessary evil' of sorts? Or if you don't take them but could benefit from them, is the refusal based on an unwillingness to take any risks when it comes to sexual function?
For me personally, I am plagued by these questions and doubts. Stop them, switch them, leave them unchanged? I have become fascinated with 'researching' the pharmacological profiles and actions of all the different antidepessant meds and how they might affect sexual functioning. There doesn't seem to be a perfectly 'pro-sexual' antidepressant drug out there except for maybe Trazadone which isn't available here. The two that I have settled on are known to be fairly 'safe' options with regards to preserving male sexual function, and one of them is even reported to enhance it. I'm probably alone in having this particular interest, but if on the rare chance I'm not it'd be cool to discuss this more in depth.

The curvature is not significant and there's no problems with sex or erections (except in the morning...see below), however, ever since then the main problems have been loss of sensation during ejaculation (no contractions) and significantly less sperm volume. Starting 4 years prior to that I was taking warafin (a blood thinner) and atenolol (a beta blocker) due to heart disease but during a check-up, my cardiologist said I could stop taking them, but since then there's been no increase in sensation It's possible the beta blocker contributed to it, but I doubt it because I never had an issue with loss of sensation before the peyronie's. I had my testosterone checked a few years ago and the result was that it was in the low end of normal. I asked my doctor for a prescription to increase it but she refused because she said it was normal.
From a google search, I have a condition called ejaculatory anhedonia, and one of the causes has something to do with the nerves between my brain and my penis, which I don't understand why because I'm not depressed about the peyronie's (or anything else), so I think the cause is the peyronie's, however, I don't want surgery for fear of making it worse and from posts I've read, I'm not convinced the other treatments work.
The treatments for ejaculatory ahendonia include prescription drugs and one (there may be more) supplement called Yohimbine, therefore, I'll at least try a supplement. From a case study I read, Yohimbine was very successful for treating it but only when used with other drugs, but I couldn't find in the article which ones.
Has anyone on this forum experienced loss of sensation/no contractions during ejaculation, and if so, what, if any, drugs/supplements did you try for treatment and what were the results?
Also, before the peyronie's, I frequently had morning erections, but no more. I have a box with numerous supplements I've tried, but nothing works...any suggestions for natural supplements?
Quote from: SDP on April 10, 2024, 10:33:41 AMThe amount of my ejaculate has decreased significantly since my Peyronie's was diagnosed. I've tried various supplements over the years but none have worked.
Any suggestions for supplements that have worked?
