This A Normal Hypersexuality Symptom?

Hey y'all. So i've been hypersexual for a very long time I think- I masturbated the first time when I was 4 years old (which I know is a little more strange for girls, but not totally out of the norm), and started getting bad about it when I turned 9 and after that just kinda, well....y'know, went at it.

Skipping forward and not really explaining the whole thing, I was just curious if anyone else who is hypersexual has these sort of symptoms regarding it .

Occasionally, I will be fantasizing, which can happen anywhere at anytime without much warning- just kinda happens. And when it does, it is near impossible to stop until I get off, or at least make a concentrated effort to calm down. What's worse, is I will get extremely dizzy and lightheaded; like I'm going to pass out!


I actually was at work once and had to go put a wet papertowel on my head and lay down in the break room or I would have passed out. (PS, did not masturbate at work- kinda just calmed down and suffered through it til I got home.)

But yeah, does anyone else experience things like this? Along with nearly blacking out, I've also got nauseous and started vomiting. It's really messed up, and once it gets to that point, it really scares me.

I'm a girl by the way!

I'm sorry you are struggling with this. There is nothing I can offer personally on this subject. But I noticed no one had replied to your post. So I thought I would. Here's a link to an article, from PsychCentral's archives, on the subject of compulsive masturbation. Perhaps it can provide some useful information with regard to what you're dealing with:

My best wishes to you...

Maybe you're having heart issues...

I would go see a neurologist, because what you are describing bears some resemblance to orgasm headaches (which I occasionally have).

I am not clear why you are taking the medications you are taking if your dx is schizoaffective - you are on two mood stabilizers and no anti-psychotic. ???

Also, you take the highest dose of Prozac and two medium doses of MS (mood stabilizers). Would not it be easier to go down on both SSRI and mood stabilizers and suffer fewer side effects from meds? SSRI (Prozac) and MS act in the opposite directions. And Prozac, for me, caused hypersexuality. So regardless of what you do about almost passing out, which is a neurological issue, bring up what you call hypersexuality with the psychiatrist and also mention that you would like to try fewer meds and what psychiatrists would call a more elegant cocktail with less polypharmacy (polypharmacy = many meds at once).

Yes, that's probably a good idea. I've been meaning to follow up with a neurologist anyway, since the last time I've seen one was when I was 11 for chronic headaches and migraines (which I still have.) I never thought about that, but you're right, it definitely could be a neurological issue!

As for my dx and my meds- The only reason I'm not on any antipsychotic currently is because I have literally had horrid side effects with almost every single one so far....however, at my next pdoc appointment we are going to talk about putting me on a new one (Vraylar) and see how that works out, because I am in desperate need of an antipsych. I have been hallucinating horribly lately, and it has been impairing my quality of life. That's why once we had been through a million different antipsychotics, he threw in the Equetro in hopes that might help, but alas, it hasn't done much.


I have been on Prozac for years- but I also have been somewhat hypersexual long before that, so I'm not sure if that has any bearing on my issues, but I will definitely talk about it! Also, not sure if Prozac has pooped out on me or not.....but yeah, I'll speak with him about it for sure, and set up a neurologist appointment!! Thank you so much for your advice and words!

Thankfully, that's not the case, as I've had my heart checked recently. Good theory though, for sure! Thanks!

I have chronic debilitating migraines and have obtained incredible relief with the combination of BOTOX for prevention (it is not cosmetic - the injections are in the head, back of the neck, and the very top of the forehead) for prevention and then three medications to stop the attacks that still do happen, but less frequently: promethazine, imitrex, and indomethacin. I take all three at once and they work synergetically. I know my migraines very well, though, and feel the precursors of an attack, and take the medications at the first signs of a precursor, when they work best. In me, once the attack has set in and there is pain, medications do no work. So it took years of paying attention, but I am finally virtually pain-free, and it has tremendously improved my quality of life.

Actually, the FDA just approved a preventive injectable that is administered monthly and that did not cause short-term side effects in clinical trials. If your migraines are frequent, this may be the right solution for you.
