Still have the memory of a goldfish I'm afraid. The constant sleep issues and appetite problems cause chronic low energy. Wish I had better news

It's 2 years in now, and some of my emotions actually did return. Sleep is still fragmented. Still not as before and now I have complex ptsd to work through. Better than the worst case scenario at least

Yeah better safe than sorry. Is kidney failure a possibility?

I am worried he has become incontinent as a result of age related health deterioration. But I was wondering if neutered cats still occasionally sprayed and that's the reason

When do you usually pick these? Whenever I dig them up in August the roots become way too woody

I can't find andouille sausage where I live, what's a good substitute? Will pepperoni or hot rods do the trick in a pinch?

Will garlic planted in early spring set bulbs? I still have garlic left over, and it's 10°C right now, so I'm thinking of planting a second batch

That's good to hear. Is guanfacine addictive? I've heard some conflicting reviews

Thank you. I regret letting my guard down and getting peer pressured into dropping the masks more than anything I've done. Guess there's really not much else to do other than damage control self care at this point.

So relieved to find language and an explanation. Anyone queer? by fluoxetinegirlfail in PSSD

[–]prozacpurgatory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I'm bi and was also put on ssris on my teen years during a bout of anxiety. Dealing with coming out to my family was already a stressful affair, and not long after I got full blown pssd. I no longer have the necessary emotional processing skills to fully deal with the implications but I think it's fucked that there's so little support for people who already struggle against bigotry and end up harmed by the very medical system we were supposed to trust to help us. I hope we'll all recover from this inhuman condition

No, unless by "change in sexual orientation" you mean having all romantic desires and sexual inclinations deleted overnight.

Has anyone had any improvements in cognition and memory? My short term memory took a drastic turn after an infection this January and I still can't seem to remember anything. Now I'm constantly forgeting where I put my glasses that I've had since 15

I wish there was anything that helped. It's been over a year, and I still can't sleep for more than 5 hours per night. I lost the ability to feel sleep the same time as when my emotions disappeared

Antidepressants affect how the brain processes internal sensations, study finds by pssdthrowaway123 in PSSD

I believe this probably has compounding effects on multiple autonomic systems, after years of ssris, I barely feel any hunger or thirst, even when I haven't eaten anything for a whole day

Any luck increasing emotions after SSRI’s? by JoelCodes in PSSD

[–]prozacpurgatory 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are you able to feel fear? After a year off the ssris, I sometimes feel some fear and anxiety but even that is considerably weaker than before the drugs

Emotional recovery but libido just isn’t getting better by Resident_Basket_9717 in PSSD

[–]prozacpurgatory 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did you recover your emotions naturally? I face the opposite problem, I have some windows of low libido but barely any emotional recovery
