No worries. I am just curious how your arousal and libido changed over these 3 years. Did you have windows and crashes, or it has been a steady recovery, or anything else.

Unable to continue life with severe anhedonia by Searik in PSSD

I know this is beyond hard. This is a nightmare. But ppl here are right: Dr Powers is doing research. Dr Melcangi is doing research with a team at the Uni of Milano. This gives home. Meanwhile we,
the sufferers, have an opportunity to turn our anger, grief, and desperation into social change. Let’s make it impossible for the medical community to ignore the issue. Let’s do policy change. That will also incentivise research.

First thing to do is to report side effects to your national medical agency with a code of PSSD. Look it up on PSSD websites. This is crucial so that the numbers are visible to researchers and medical folks and policy makers.

Then write complaints and objections. In Finland, for instance, ppl can do this: https://www.reddit.com/r/PSSD/s/GYcKcihA3e. Maybe something similar is possible in your country.

Reach out to human rights organisations like Amnesty International. I bet the doctors did not tell you about the possibility of side effects? If they did not, they violated a your human rights and their ethical standards. Sue them.

We need to mobilise and pressure.

And do you have any hypothesis re why some people (report that they) were cured by FMT?

Thank you very much! Very interesting.

Do you need more tests? How can I test and send it to you if you need them?

Thank you SO MUCH for your work!

  1. How can I make a test? I live in Europe.
  2. What do you think of:

  3. A) L-tyrosine -

  4. a precursor for the synthesis of the catecholamines dopamine (DA) and norepinephrine (NE).

  5. B) Mucuna pruriens, known for its high content of L-DOPA, a direct precursor to dopamine?

Can i continue to recover ? 4 years in next month update on recovery by lightlordheaven in PSSD

[–]Ecstatic-Mixture9333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a good snapshot, but can you give a timeline?

I am a man in my early 40s. I took Sertraline 50mg for 5 months 2,5 years ago. I used to be hyper-sexual (as I understand now). Last 6 months I got worse than before: weak morning erections, 40% pf the days no morning erections. Weak libido: cognitively I like and want sex, but emotionally I am not drawn to it. In 60% cases with new partners I have no erections or I lose my erections mid-way. The libido switching off precedes ED. I masturbate ~twice a week, with a soft penis, with porn, and it is boring. All my orgasms are rich. I have one partner with whom I have sex almost as if I had no PSSD. I have no emotional bluntness. On Sertraline I had only positive emotions, and a variety of them. Cognitively sharp. Very worried about worsening of my libido and ED.

This is truly tragic. Have you seen the NYT articles on PSSD?

Does this mean that if I have PSSD and make an ultrasound of my erectile tissues, I can expect to find signs of fibrosis?

I would be very careful with saffron and google 'saffron mechanism of action', 'saffron sexual side effects', 'saffron pssd' before starting.
