New Antidepressant Improved Sexual Function in Depressed Men and Women

[FunkOdyssey]

I once overdosed on 30mg buspirone (got the dose wrong) - electric shocks in the head (serotonin syndrome), dizziness, nausea, weakness, sweating, and vomited. It did make orgasm very easy to reach, which was the goal but the side effects were horrific. Lower doses 5mg and 10mg did not work.

I tried buspirone and would get these dizziness attacks while driving that felt scary and dangerous. Had to stop.

Perhaps not novel in the respect that it targets an already well established mechanism of action, but the possibility of a similar drug being refined and even enhanced is a positive.

Yes, it seems they have enhanced the new drug in some respects. Buspirone only made 12% of trial participants dizzy where gepirone affects 49%.

The dizzy sex is the new trend! They don't know how this "antidepressant" works, my guess it made the patients so dizzy that their depression paled in comparison and they forgot all about it LOL

Keep in mind that manufacturers always downplay the side effects so if they list 49% got dizzy, it's probably closer to 100%.

I remember wanting Buspirone to work so bad as it seemed a perfect cure for my anxiety at the time. Sadly, it just didn't work as expected. I did not get any of the dizziness you describe, but it made me very docile and unmotivated. I believe this to be a drug better suited for females. And before I get flamed and burned at the stake for saying that, it's the same effect I had with oxytocin. Male and female chemistry is different in many regards. What may be the silver bullet for one is the kryptonite for the other.
