So, my Therapist has brought up the interesting proposal of me making an appointment with a psychiatrist with the intent of starting me on some medication. Nothing specific so far, but she mentioned Antidepressants and maybe some moderate OCD medications. Not that I'm depressed or obsessive. Although the OCD meds would come into play in regards to breaking my current binge-and-fast cycle of indulging in pornography and masturbation. Some of these medicines apparently have been known to drastically reduce one's sex drive as a side-effect. While for most people this would be a pretty undesirable hindrance, I think it would go a long way towards my getting over my impulses.

Just a few things I'm hesitant about.
Firstly as I said I'm not what you'd call depressed and outside of masturbating more often than I'd like I don't really have any other obsessive or compulsive tendencies. I'm a bit apprehensive about how starting medication would affect me outside of the whole sex thing. I just don't want to change who I am because of this. Eh, perhaps I'm just being a bit paranoid?
Secondly, my therapist took the effort to regal me with horror stories about the time it takes to actually get in to see a local psychiatrist. And when I did, I've got no guarantee that this personal would understand my reasons behind wanting to get on these medications. I imagine that if I went to any regular doctor and told them I wanted drugs that would kill my sex drive, they might just refer me right back to therapy!
Lastly, I guess I just don't really know how to feel about taking medicine for this problem. Maybe I'm just being way too stubborn and prideful to turn away help when it's offered to me, but I can't help but feel a bit weak if I were to to this. I'm worried I'll always feel like I could have beaten this thing on my own but didn't have the will power to do so.

Does anybody have any thoughts or opinions? I really cannot overstate how much I appreciate any kind of help I can get.
Thanks!
