A simple Google search will tell you as will your doctor. Don't take medical advice from strangers on an internet tech forum.
- MattGaiser 5y agoWould a doctor come anywhere close to approving this?
- uberman 5y agoIf they would not, that seems like a great reason to have talked to them about this rather than you and I (assuming you are not a medical doctor :-)
- PaulHoule 5y agoAll you gotta do is prove you are anxious or depressed and you can get an SSRI or SNRI from a primary care doc. This will suppress your libido. Probably the poster would fit the criteria. Just that he has the strong idea that he is unattractive and is distressed by this is an indication. The poster should print out this list https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/depression/symptoms-causes/syc-20356007 https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/depression/sy... and then check anything that applies and being really liberal in accepting that he has the symptoms. I'd guess leading with "I want to nuke my libido" would be a winning story with some docs, but if you can tell a sprawling story of how distressed you are that works in as many symptoms as possible you are going to get the script. Unlike a lot of situations you want to go to the doc's office looking as bad as you can. You will get a low dose and you should keep in touch with the doc, if side effects are bothering you they can switch you to another med, if you have no response or a partial response you should increase the dose, certainly the anti-libido effect is dose dependent. There is also talk therapy but if you do enough of that you are probably going to get a girlfriend, repair any relationship you are in, leave a relationship that is bad, turn poly, or have something develop in a forward direction.
