    I'm in a flatline and have PIED. Is this okay to take for my depression? I'm abstaining from PMO and have been for 18 days so far. If I don't plan on masturbating for a long time, will this in any way affect my reboot?

    Hmm. A common side effect of Sertraline (Zoloft) is a decreased sex drive, impotence or difficulty having an orgasm. o_O https://www.drugs.com/zoloft.html The same web site, also points out the following info about dosages and diagnoses...

    Usual Adult Dose of Zoloft for Depression:

    Initial dose: 50 mg orally once a day
    Maintenance Dose: 50 to 200 mg orally once a day

    Comments:
    -Dose adjustments may be made at intervals of at least one week.
    -Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and acute episodes of Major Depressive Disorder require several months or longer of sustained pharmacologic therapy.

    So, I am not sure why you are starting on half of the recommended starting dose of this medication. :confused: At any rate, when you select the side effects tab on this web site, the sexual dysfunction is itemised much more precisely...
    Common side effects of Zoloft include: decreased libido, delayed ejaculation and ejaculation failure. :eek: It continues...

    Major Side Effects
    If any of the following side effects occur while taking sertraline, check with your doctor immediately:

    More common:
    • Decreased sexual desire or ability
    • failure to discharge semen (in men)

    It's fine. I've been on this medicine many years ago and I didn't have sexual side effects. He's starting me on half of the recommended starting dose so I can get into it gradually.

    Hey if it makes me not masturbate for a while so I can recover, that's a good thing right?

    i think it will delay your recovery, and that could be bad for your morale, so overall i don't think that it would help

    Why would it delay my recovery if I was on it, yet I had suffered no major libido issues when I was on it before? And why do you think it would it be bad for my morale? I have a psychiatric disorder as well with bipolar depression, so I can't see myself losing much. I don't plan on masturbating for a while. I'm in a flatline afterall. It's such a low dose too. I don't plan on being on it long. I've been feeling like such shit since March.

    It's temporary. I'm going to do other activities besides sit around and eventually, I may not need the SSRI.

    Ah, yeah. Sorry about that. I should of! That was my fault. My bipolar depression is what started the whole porn thing I think. Not a good coping skill at all. But I hope zoloft helps a bit.

    I was just answering your opening question^. It is your decision to weigh the pros and cons and then accept or reject it.

    Oh, I know. I don't plan on masturbating for a while so I can get my full erectile health back, so this can only help I think.
