Hi everyone, so lately my sex drive has been pretty high, I stopped taking Paxil a week ago so Im not completely numb down there anymore.
Anyway. I started feeling a bit tingly down there like I needed to pee kinda... not too bad... I immediately thought of those ladies that have like 1000 orgasms a day... I thought... could it be possible I had that? nah... I went though my day but it was always in the back of my mind. If I focused on something else it would go away.... but then I started obsessing... googling... watching videos... the disorder is PGAD. I started thinking maybe Ive got this... I feel so much anxiety my body is super like tense. I took my Paxil again to maybe relieve it but it only gets worse. When I think about it and start to stress I swear its 100% real.
I don't know what to do Im crying so much I feel super suicidal.

Hey MariMari i love your honesty. When you say suicidal are these thoughts or plans? It will be perfectly normal to get back feeling down there it can be really overwhelming though
Can i ask if you stopped the paxil with the help of a doctor? emotions seem to come back in surrond sound, mega pixelated when you stop taking antidepressants. Stick in there it will get easier
No I stopped cold turkey. but that was a week or so ago, 2 at most, its weird that I would be getting symptoms now? Now Im thinking it might be an infection as I feel a lot of pressure in my bladder as well. Im also taking the medicine again for sure... maybe that will help?
Please do not again stop taking medication without medical help. It really can play havoc with your emotions to do so. Symptoms don't always reappear immediately, as the medication remains in your system for a while. Go immediately to your GP or therapist, make an emergency appointment and discuss your feelings and what medication, if any, is best for you. Not all medication has that numbing effect, so perhaps you're not on the right one and another might suit you better. But please, remember that you won't always feel this bad. Stick it out and you will be glad you did so!
I just had to Google PGAD! It could be the sudden stopping of the medication, making your body hyper-sensitive after the numbing effect of the pills. Starting medication again doesn't always take immediate effect, so you may have to persist. But it does sound like you could do with a different prescription. Not all medication will necessarily numb you that way, but you need to speak with your doctor or psychiatrist about it so you can feel neither numb nor hyper-sensitive down there again.
Thank You! I started taking the medication again as prescribed and slowly my symptoms went away. Sometimes they come back a bit but they are very mild. Im scared that it will come back so I do get a bit panicky sometimes.
