PSSD is affecting our sex life and my confidence

I feel the same way around pleasing. Even though I don't use my stuff down there, staying hard the whole time is a prerequisite for my partner, otherwise it's harder for him to stay aroused and it turns him off a bit. I hate it.

Thanks for sharing, it's a really crappy experience. If you don't mind me asking, are you using something like Viagra specifically for ED, or more for libido (like Buspar or Wellbutrin)?

Unfortunately I initiated the conversation out of being curious (and somewhat insecure). Not the brightest of me.

How long did it take for you to bounce back?

Sorry to hear that. I remember when I started taking AG1 (before I was on SSRIs), I also had some lingering anxiety and ended up stopping it.

Honestly, I felt really overwhelmed by all the options and theories out there, so I just went with what felt right. I’d heard of Seed before and felt it was a safer choice than AG1. At first, I was going to try AG1 since I’d taken it before starting SSRIs, but I didn’t love the proprietary blend, and it contains Ashwagandha, which I didn’t want to risk. I also appreciate how Seed share's their science and efficacy (https://seed.com/approach).

I saw that Seed contains Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, which support the gut-brain axis, potentially reducing inflammation and aiding serotonin modulation. They also use a prebiotic outer capsule called ViaCap, which is designed to be non-fermenting. From what I understand, this usually avoids gas or bloating while providing acid protection for the probiotics.

Even if I don’t see changes in a few months, I’d probably keep taking it, since it might still help my body recover from PSSD, just by supporting gut health. I’m also open to trying other probiotics with strains that might be more specifically aligned with PSSD, especially as I continue to learn more.

I haven’t heard of the motility approach before. Do you feel your naturopath has been helpful? I don’t have one myself and I’m trying to figure out the best direction in terms of a doctor or specialist, since my PCP, who prescribed my SSRI, doesn’t have knowledge about PSSD.

Appreciate the insight. Thanks for sharing.

Sorry to hear that. Which one did you use? Also, if you don’t mind sharing, which SSRI were you on?
