Getting extremely ill after sex!

[[Be...]]

I get extremely ill and tired for days after every sexual intercourse I have, feels like I'm 100 years old!

 

I get pain all over my body, my muscles, my joints, my bones and my legs to the point I can't easily walk or comfortably move the next day without pain, and this lasts for a couple of days and it makes me swear not to have sex ever again! 

 

Is this a normal withdrawal symptom? and does it go away once we are healed?

I am really sorry to hear this! 

 

It is good you are still having sex, though, right?  I feel I am so damaged now that I will never again be able to find a good relationship to even contemplate having sex. 

[[id...]]

I am a woman, so the body chemistry is probably slightly different, but in the early withdrawal I would get so dizzy and nauseated after sex that I would have to run to the bathroom and throw up.

[[Ma...]]

Happened to me. Yes, it goes away

[[Tr...]]

Right now I'm thinking "never again!"

I had to google the term...

-and OMG..!  My damn browser was set on images..!!

 

BC,

Yeah, they say it can be a bit of a shock to a fragile system.. But we are slow learners, and only feel it afterwards.. Quick to forget too probably, lol..

I guess you could devise some management techniques, but I hesitate to give examples.. -Just beware of google on that one too..!!

You guys are funny  It's definitely not what it used to be, that's for sure!

BenzoCalamity,

 

I see you used abilify, zyprexa, and risperdal. When and how did you get off those drugs?

BenzoCalamity,

I only used zyprexa and risperdal for about a month or so and they ignited my paranoia and delusion, dangerous drugs. Thank God I quit them shortly after.

 

For Abilify, I used it for a couple of years and it dumbed my feelings, it made me an emotionless zombie and it made me shaky like I was a Parkinson patient! I quit that one too while I was on benzos. See benzos is the mother of all psychiatric drugs, when on them you can almost quit any medication and benzos will take the edge off except for depression and ssri's, when I quit the ssri while still on benzos, I didn't suffer the physical withdrawal symptoms of quitting ssri but I suffered greatly from depression caused by both, quitting ssri's and taking benzos!

I can’t handle neuroleptics, either. Seroquel gave me horrendous side fx.

 

Edit: I had such horrible musculoskeletal tension and pain + headaches from the muscle tension that it was totally unbearable. I took it for about a month 2-3 months out, and I CT’d it. It did make me sleep in a completely unnatural way, though. Like being clubbed over the head.

Actually Abilify didn't make me emotionless, rather it imprisoned my feelings, like feeling very sad but unable to cry, to let out, or to express my sadness in physical forms. Too devastating!

Wow — that sounds horrible!!  I am willing to try a mood stabiliser, but no more neuroleptics for me after my experience.

I also could NOT control my eating whilst on seroquel......and I was craving sugar nonstop, and that would ramp up my CNS. No wonder, since it’s a dopamine blocker. :/

If you CT'ed them, the ill effects after sex could be due to dopamine supersensitivity, which is when you develop a sensitivity reaction to dopamine because regular dopamine receptors have been replaced by high affinity ones due to the prolonged dopamine antagonism of the APs. (Dopamine is released during sex).

 

To test if that is indeed the problem, you could try a small amount of tyrosine or phenylalanine in isolation, but only a small amount, like a few milligrams. (Edit: tyrosine and phenylalaline are both precursor to dopamine). You should avoid having sex for a few days prior to this, so you'll need to tell the ladies to control themselves for a bit  . If you have the same reaction to the PHE or TYR, then it may be dopamine supersensitivity, combined with the benzo withdrawal. It will probably fade slowly with the other SX.

"Abstract

 

The first-line treatment for psychotic disorders remains antipsychotic drugs with receptor antagonist properties at D2-like dopamine receptors. However, long-term administration of antipsychotics can upregulate D2 receptors and produce receptor supersensitivity manifested by behavioral supersensitivity to dopamine stimulation in animals, and movement disorders and supersensitivity psychosis (SP) in patients.

 

Antipsychotic-induced SP was first described as the emergence of psychotic symptoms with tardive dyskinesia (TD) and a fall in prolactin levels following drug discontinuation. In the era of first-generation antipsychotics, 4 clinical features characterized drug-induced SP: rapid relapse after drug discontinuation/dose reduction/switch of antipsychotics, tolerance to previously observed therapeutic effects, co-occurring TD, and psychotic exacerbation by life stressors.

 

We review 3 recent studies on the prevalence rates of SP, and the link to treatment resistance and psychotic relapse in the era of second-generation antipsychotics (risperidone, paliperidone, perospirone, and long-acting injectable risperidone, olanzapine, quetiapine, and aripiprazole).

 

These studies show that the prevalence rates of SP remain high in schizophrenia (30%) and higher (70%) in treatment-resistant schizophrenia.

 

We then present neurobehavioral findings on antipsychotic-induced supersensitivity to dopamine from animal studies.

 

Next, we propose criteria for SP, which describe psychotic symptoms and co-occurring movement disorders more precisely. Detection of mild/borderline drug-induced movement disorders permits early recognition of overblockade of D2 receptors, responsible for SP and TD.

 

Finally, we describe 3 antipsychotic withdrawal syndromes, similar to those seen with other CNS drugs, and we propose approaches to treat, potentially prevent, or temporarily manage SP."

I forgot to tell you, I quit all of them more than 6 years ago!

Haha, small important detail. It could still be the dopamine / prolactin release. These will both affect the nervous system, but unfortunately there's not much you can do about it
