My case was complicated because I actually had PSAS plus hypogonadism. Despite a lifelong history of depression, giving me another antidepressant to try, and then another, just delayed the ultimate diagnosis and frustrated me even more because my symptoms were exacerbated by antidepressants. I finally threw away the last prescription the psychiatrist wrote and went off all psych meds. Depakote was recommended and it proved a good choice but a totally different idea than another antidepressant.<\/p>\n
\nI suffered from no real orgasms for fully two years, having been orgasmic all my 24 years of married life. I suffered from constant PSAS for over a year and I became so desperate I was ready to end my life, not from depression but just from an unwillingness to continue such a low quality existence. The symptoms were 24 hours, seven days a week, without any relief to speak of and no one had a clue. My wonderful husband tried his best and tried his best but it was never enough.<\/p>\n
\nMy youngest son’s last year of high school passed, and it should have been a wonderful year. I had to spend an obscene amount of time alone in my bedroom just trying to get some kind of relief. Thank God I had the fortitude to not want to ruin his graduation by killing myself and making things even worse. I am a professional and I had to go to work without much or any sleep for literally days on end.<\/p>\n
\nIn the end, things are working out. It has been an absolute nightmare but it is ending.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
