When do you consider that you are psychologically prepared to receive an implant?

Espana1980 you have several mental issues ranging from a clear disfunctional relationship with your body to intrusive thoughts about the length of your penis. You also said you are already taking a lot of anti anxiety drugs (benzodiazepine or sort of? Lyrica?) which sounds more like an abuse than a proper use. Antidepressants can have side effects and some like PSSD can be brutal and they are a major cause of discontinuation, but it seems you're worried only by a potential reduction of the length of your penis that you are taking for granted without reasons.

Nothing to blame but you're not in the right position for taking irreversible decisions. And with this state of mind it's very likely even first or second line treatments for ED will fail even if you have no physical or just mild issues. ED sucks and blows everyone mind but the more I read you the more I think that right now your mind is most fucked part of your body. You don't need to solve all your problems perfectly before implanting, but hey get at least a minimum of rationality and emotional stability back. I don't mean happiness, just clarity of mind.

So, if oral medication and injections don't get your dick hard then you have one choice left. There's nothing to lose and everything to gain with an implant. No more anxiety during sexual encounters, just a rock-hard erection. So quit making silly excuses and go get it done.

fortytwo00, lirica I don't drink, she takes anxiolytics like valium, I agree with everything you say in your message but I don't understand what PSSDs are. Regarding the issue of the obsession with losing size FOR NO REASON, I do not agree with you. Anyone who has read a little knows that with fibrosis in the penis and if it is not exercised by exercising, that is, stretching, that is, having erections, the consequences are that the tissues retract more. and contract rapidly when there is fibrosis. Regarding what you said about my mental health and not making decisions and everything else, I agree with you. but I think he did not understand the message I sent. I wish I could forget about my penis for a while but you can't leave it either, because you either use it or throw it away.

68catfun because I'm waiting to be on a good psychological level and be sure of my decision because I think it's a very difficult decision, in addition to putting myself in the hands of the best surgeon. and assume the possible complications because everything has its risk. And I'm also waiting to talk to many people who have had their implant done and see if they feel like it and if it's worth it or not to do it. I hope for all that. I have made decisions in my life very lightly and I have been wrong. but in this one I can't be wrong because there is only one penis. do you have an implant?

For example, I see that there is a lot of talk about implants about how hard the penis of whoever receives the implant will be. but I want to make sure about other very important things like the loss of sensitivity and above all if you ejaculate or not. because an implant would be of no use to him if he couldn't ejaculate. I also have many doubts about when one is fully recovered from the implant. from what I see it is after two years, and my doubt is the lifetime of the prosthesis, which is 9 or 10 if there are no problems along the way. so I believe that any person who thinks enough will have these doubts and will need to clear them up before making such an important decision. besides being psychologically prepared for all the consequences. What is the most important

You may have impaired libido, ED, ejaculatory disorders, lack of orgasm and stuff like these while taking some kind of antidepressants. Corporal fibrosis isn't related. Actually Trazodone, which could be added for sleeping instead of Valium increases nocturnal penile tumescence. Like 5mg tadalafil before sleeping. PSSD is the worst case scenario: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28778697/

So what do you think is better? wake up every day wanting to die or take some antidepressant with these consequences?

Psy problems, when serious and chronic, affect a lot of stuff like libido, arousal, sensitivity, pleasure, etc. that a surgeon can't fix. A minimum of stability and mind clarity come first.
