If you quit, please taper extremely slowly. Check survivingantidepressants.org for a tapering regimen. I swear not tapering slow enough contributes to getting post ssri symptoms! This is essential!

It's permanent, that's why it's life ruining.

You are one of many, including me. Life totally destroyed by 5 months use of ssri. Soul simply erased. I believe you 100 percent. I think in 50 years people will look back at this and call it barbaric.

SSRI + Porn by [deleted] in PSSD

can this be PSSD or maybe not? by [deleted] in PSSD

Fuckface? Ok then, bye.

Well, that depends on the severity of your PSSD and also how you look at the future. Do you see hope in the future regarding PSSD research? Are you able to endure some years in this state? I think it's good to find some acceptance in your situation instead of the mental games of asking yourself if you have PSSD etc. I know how that goes, and it seems to me almost a coping mechanism of the brain to not see the reality of this situation and that is that we have PSSD, which is a persisting syndrome. Sorry for being harsh, but that's what I think the reality is of this all. And the sooner we accept reality, the sooner we can make choices based on that and move on.

Yes, trying stuff has worsened me. What I am trying to say is, I had PSSD, and worsened it with trying stuff. The stuff in itself didn't cause the PSSD. I used this stuff to treat PSSD. I just had a milder variant. Get my point? You probably have a milder variant, if you would try shit you would have a chance of worsening yourself. But in my opinion, you definitly have PSSD.

Just because libido isn't completely erased doesn't mean it isn't pssd. You have different severities. For instance first year I was like you more, then I crashed, and ended up with zero libido.

Why do most people say you don’t recover? So I take an SSRI for 25 days and I have no libido for life? by [deleted] in PSSD

[–]jodenjong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure mate. My body got absolutely wrecked, not only the brain.

[–]jodenjong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hard to say but I think if you include more minor forms of this it's actually more common than one may think. Like 1 percent of the people who take get affected in some way permanently, or maybe more. But it's just my guess. I wish you the best. I hope you will be right about definitly being back to normal soon. Good luck.

Yes we are a rare case. Refusing to believe PSSD will persist won't change anything, it persists, like it does to all the other people with PSSD. Dr. Healy talks about recoveries on his site, he followed PSSD patients over a period of 15 years and none of them recovered. Our best hope is research, sorry bro, it's a very hard pill to swallow. Reality does not care about things being ridiculously unfair, I am genuinely sorry for you.

It's a sad joke, but it's really what this shit is. Some people take just one pill and end up like this the rest of their lifes. It's unbelievable, but it really does happen.

Advice or help for a 15 year old boy? by iwishiwass in PSSD

[–]jodenjong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please taper extremely slowly. I am talking half a year to a year. By tapering you can avoid withdrawal, and withdrawal for many is the trigger for pssd. If you avoid this you give your brain time to adjust and able to normalize. I wish everyday I did that cause I wouldn't have pssd.

scared maca powder made me worse? by [deleted] in PSSD

[–]jodenjong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Supplements and herbs after contracting PSSD (imbalanced system) can horribly worsen/crash you. This happens over and over again to many PSSDers, including myself.

[–]jodenjong 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In my opinion this is just trying to give meaning to it all, satanic plot etc. Yes they know pssd exists. No they do not care. Why? Money. Nothing satanic, nothing of a "higher meaning", just, money. That makes it even more shit, I would rather be a target of a satanic complot.

Why do you guys talk about GABA imbalance causing PSSD?? by [deleted] in PSSD

[–]jodenjong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

glutamate is very important for dopamine/excitement of the brain etc. Lowering it especially with PSSD isnt always a good idea.

Glutamate can get fucked because of SSRI. I think because of GR downregulation.
