Default Sex

I have had PD for 11 years now. I have been taking zoloft for "mood disorder" and I suspect that its serotonin effects are what I am benefitting from. I am not depressed. But if I stop taking zoloft I can tell my mood changes and I become angered, very irritable. For some 6 months now I have had problems with ED, tried levitra and it worked okay, had to get the timing right. I still have trouble with orgasm. Now I can go all night and nothing happens! My PCP thinks its a combination of the PD and medication so I know this will take some work to figure it out. So that's it in a nutshell..doh!

I have had DBS surgery and only take sinemet.

Default a cruel drug

From Wikipedia:
"67% of men on sertraline experienced ejaculation difficulties vs. 18% before the treatment[121] (or 61% vs 0% according to another paper[35])."

So Big Pharma wants us to raise our libido with ldopa; then requip sends us down to the corner where we spend our entire check on lottery tickets which we then trade to the "girls" out front; only to find out this.....

And they wonder why we don't trust them.
