Two visible causes in your case are depression and antidepressant sertraline which may be causing the loss of sensation in penis during intercourse. Depression itself is an important cause of sexual dysfunction but more important is the prolonged use of sertraline which has known side effects of ejaculation failure and paresthesia. Paresthesia is a sensation of tingling, tickling, prickling, pricking, or burning of a person's skin with no apparent long-term physical effect.

I'm a 30yr old male. I was on Sertraline approx 10 years ago for depression and it seemed to work until a crash. For one reason or another over the years, my treatment has changed several times. It is 2011 and i have found my way back to sertraline. I am currently taking 10mg of buspirone 2x day and 15mg of mirtazapine for major depression and generalized anxiety. I have been feeling constantly tired, apathetic and despondent.
i am thinking your dr gave you the ativan to help you thru the 1st 2 weeks of sertraline because of the anxiety it can cause. after 2 weeks the sertraline kicked in and i was calm. i rarely took ativan after the ssri kicked in.

Speed is a treatment for depression, though for many it causes anxiety so it isn't usually used for that anymore. One of the natural treatments for depression is phenylalanine, an amino acid that targets norepinephrine, or adrenaline. Snris such as Effexor and Cymbalta target both serotonin and norepinephrine (which is why they too are not recommended if your primary problem is anxiety).

Alzheimer is a very tricky disease in which people are refrained of the future and the feeling or experience of being old and enjoying more the life. I Learned that young people can also have this kind of disease, which means everyone is vulnerable. In one article I remember it after typing it in google as ‘ nun study treatment’. The article shows on how it can be prevented. Since prevention is better than cure.

My grandpa passed away due to complications of the disease but he lived for 10 years with the disease. My family opted to keep him at home and believe me it wasn't easy. He eventually had to go in a home for 2 years before he passed due to the fact that he was completely unable to help us take care of himself. He could not walk or talk and he needed more help than what we could do. However, we went and fed him everyday and went to see him everyday.
There are also a variety of natural supplements that are said to help Alzheimer's patients. One of these is turmeric. You might want to research the others. Since the outlook for the disease is so dismal, trying some natural remedies won't harm and might help.
Communicaion helps, if they are living alone, call them frequently. Calling them will also let you know if she is ok or not. If staying togather take her for a walk in the evening. Showing that you care will help a lot. Also, after you start commuicating, she will communicate with you as well. She will tell you if something is wrong or there is a problem (how is she feeling and what is she thinking). Besides i think communication will just make her feel better if not anything.
Thirty-three patients with the diagnosis of chromosomally competent premature ovarian failure were reviewed for evidence of autoimmune disease. Thirty-nine percent of subjects had an associated autoimmune disorder, of which thyroid disease was the most common. One patient had vitiligo and one had adrenal insufficiency.
A family history of autoimmune disease was elicited from 18% of subjects, all of whom proved to have an autoimmune disease themselves.
Coming to the medicines part, Prozac and serteraline which you are taking are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and are the mainstay of treatment for premature ejaculation. Paroxetine (Paxil) appears to be the most effective drug treatment and you can get it prescribed if the symptoms persist.
Other drugs like Dapoxetine (Priligy), clomipramine and trazadone are also used for premature ejaculation. Studies have shown that clomipramine may be more useful than the SSRIs.
I have been having bad headaches for a little over two months now. I have been to my primary dr. who sent me for a ct scan, then for 2 mri's the dr said they found spots in my white matter and said it could be caused from multiple diseases such as ms, or alzheimer, people who have diabets and migraines. But said none of this is causing my headache, and couldnt find reason why was having them.

The most common side effects of Sertraline that you should watch out for are nausea, diarrhea and sleep disturbances, in that order. There are a lot of other side effects listed for Sertraline, but these are the ones commonly encountered. Drowsiness and excessive sleep may be seen with Clonazepam. Other side effects are rare.
I won't be able to comment much on the effects of the initial dosage on your blood pressure, as it differs person to person.
did not want to take responsibility for that area of my health) I have a follow up on my change from 50 mgs of sertraline to 100 mg and a decrease of wellbutrin of 300 down to 150 a day in 2 weeks. The sertraline has taken my already somewhat lack of interest in sex to a null completely. I know this is a side effect, pretty common one.
