It was the pills all along

A few months ago I was reading a story on a news site. It was about people with things like Parkinson's Disease etc. However they were reporting many people had developed overwhelming sexual urges once they were prescribed dopamine antagonists.

I've been on those drugs for years to treat my Tourette Symptoms. Suddenly I'm thinking....

I get an appointment with my GP and they refer me to the hospital consultant. He did a phone call and wrote back to the GP. I reduced them slowly. Now completely off them.

Tics are up. But not as bad as they have been on the drugs when really stressed. And... My bonkers sex drive massively reduced. I've thought I was abnormal for so long and it was the drugs all along.

It got complicated with my bf and we've split up now but that's probably best. I think I need to be single for a while.

I'm so sorry about you and B splitting up. You were a lovely couple, but onwards and upwards.

And we love your tics they are you even when you kick me under the table 😂

One question is all important, are you happy?

@samueltyler2 most people are as happy as they choose to be

Your life seems to be one hell of a roller coaster but the good thing is despite the ups and downs you seem to be making positive progress..
I have been fortunate and bless with my genetics and health and i really want to try and stay away from medications if possible becsuse so many people get affected in weird ways. Its like we are all one big experiment.

In my experience with meds in general, one-size-fits-ll dosages mess things up as well. I often need lower doses despite being 200lbs and 6'-2".

Doses are often based on men as well - esp legacy drugs.
