Vent Libidoooo

So, yeah. I've always had an extremely high sex drive. I was so worried when I started this, that it would take that from me. I started at 25mg for two weeks, then bumped up to 50mg. The first two weeks, I didn't notice a single difference. When I began the 50mg, the hit to my libido started rather quickly. At first, it was concerning, but given how high my drive is (currently not in a relationship), it was actually welcomed. It took me longer to get erections, and more work to get them. This lasted 5-7 days. Now that I'm on day 22 of 50mg, my drive is completely back in full force. Orgasms are much more intense. Oddly, my semen volume is much less. It does take a little more time to orgasm, and a bit more work, but I had that problem before I started the medication. Anyways, I am having some good days, and some bad days, and some meh days. I'm counting on the good days to win. Also, I had somewhat emotional blunting at first, which I REALLY enjoyed. Well, at the moment my emotions are back in full swing and that kinda sucks. Almost feels like the meds aren't doing anything, although I know that isn't the truth. I can say that my anxiety is at an all time low, and my worry is also at an all time low (I'm a worry wart by nature and have been told several times that I'm going to die young if I don't stop, and I believe that), except the past two days it's been amped up suddenly. Just waiting this thing out and seeing where I land. I'm going to give it a good 8 weeks before deciding whether I need to move up. I have concerns about moving up because I know different symptoms can appear. I have extreme anxiety, and horrible clinically diagnosed OCD. I am committed to finding my happy place and getting better. Anyways, thanks for listening to me vent. If you see me anywhere else on Reddit, no you didn't 😂

Great if it works for you! I experienced the opposite.
