I wondered if those whose experienced compulsions such as gambling shopping binges or hyper-sexuality on taking the drugs, previously had lower mostly controllable patterns, or did it come as a total character change ?

I think that every single one of us could own up to the above sentence, weather we have pd or not!!!
Looking back at what i did i would say that i had just normal ''men ''traits'.........yes i would look at pretty women,but that was all.drink yes ,smoke yes,gamble occasionally,
Once on a higher dose of mirra,my sex drive hit the roof,now was this because of the drug or because of boredom???
Since lowering the dose of mirra my sex drive has not subsided but i am able now to control my urges.i liken it to being an alchaholic ,one one always one...................
I would also like to add that a high percentage of pwp i chat to have had probs on DA's and admit to some form of OCD,all have been on DA's.........i dare bet if we were all honest that figure would likley be near the 100% mark
As i said in my thread,its not the pd that f**** us its the meds
