Hello folks
ive taken SSRIs and Accutane in my life and i believe the SSRIs caused a state of semi permanent sexual disfunction that lasted for some years
in the past two years ive started to actively fight it and i believe its getting better: libido is great but erection is never full and i have difficulty reaching orgasm
i also have slight depressive issues with anhedonia, lack of motivation, fatigue. ive tried many non-SSRI meds and the one that worked best is moclobemide, reversible MAOI, but its not perfect. Also i have a very weird small acne all over my arms, chest and back. not the face interestingly. it looks like pityrosporum folliculitis but its not, ive been to the doc multiple times for it and he says its a weird form of folliculitis. ive been taking accutane for it and i still do, 5mg every 2 or 3 days. ive tried discontinuing it for 6 months to see if it makes a difference but it does not, and acne came back. so fundamentally im stuck with it
ive tried testosterone replacement therapy in the past since my T was at the lower range and it does good for the erection but i fear its consequences. It does have a positive influence on mood tho.
my doctor told me to take just half a "tube" of T every two days in the periods i feel i need it. that would amount to about 2.5mg testosterone every other day.
do you think this approach is sustainable or will it fuck up my endogenous production?
