置頂

I took SSRI antidepressants escitalopram and sertraline without being properly informed about the risks. I wish I had made a different choice. I got severe side effects and even after stopping the antidepressants I still feel altered and not like myself. I ended up with #PSSD.

I often think of David Stofkooper, one of the PSSD patients who ended his life because of persisting severe anhedonia and emotional numbness caused by Sertraline. His story hits close to home as I suffer from the exact same symptoms + genital numbness. antidepressantrisks.org/stolen-lives/d…

The recent New York Times feature on the way antidepressants disrupt adolescent sexual development made tough reading for those of us who were first prescribed psych drugs as teenagers. Many of you may have read the piece, but you might not know about the PSSD Institute, a…

Ya. I posted about depression/SSRIs once and got a ton of DMs from people talking about how badly the side effects of SSRIs impacted their lives. Many with permanent sexual dysfunction long after stopping the medication. Long term SSRI use is way too normalized. Side effects…

I know it’s not the only cause, but I’d bet SSRIs are a big part of the reason men and women aren’t dating, getting married, and having kids anymore. They deaden your emotions, mess up your hormones, kill your ability to connect, and cause sexual dysfunction. More harm than good.

Since antidepressants : full dysautonomia, pssd, CFS, hyperhydrosis, heat intolerance, akathisia, literal brain pains, auto chronic illnesses , vagus nerve dysfunction, vision floaters I could list easily another 20 im suffering from. Before antidepressants: none

Toxic family says I have anger issues —>Family sends me to psych ward, forced medicated —> develops pssd —> now anger and despair are the only emotions I can experience —> family wants to send me back to psych ward for anger issues and despair. I am trapped in hell #pssd

Imagine being in your late 20s and everyone around you is building a family, marrying and having kids while you are not even able to feel basic human emotions or your genitals. #PSSD

same here, 14 years of pssd in january after one pill of lexapro, i don't use the word "dysfunction" for me it's more a castration, it simply doesn't work anymore (even alone...), i was only 21, never had girlfriend because of this, life ruined don't know how i'm still there

Reading a bunch of others’ experiences of losing their connection with music and I’m just so mad that I took a pill that could do this. It seems really common in the PSSD community. My NP didn’t think that was relevant to AN OPERA SINGER? Who teaches voice for a living?


PSSD sufferer | I regret taking antidepressants 已轉發

I feel like I’m not the same person anymore without my emotions. There were things I got so happy/angry about months ago that I don’t care about anymore.

This is the PSSD Institute's response to The New York Times Magazine investigation on Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction (PSSD). @PSSDInstitute #antidepressants #SSRIs #PSSD LINK: buff.ly/6U9teAv


PSSD sufferer | I regret taking antidepressants 已轉發

Yeah this has been the case and is ongoing now. Bunch of new or worsened fluctuating symptoms including temperature dysregulation, dissociation, mood/anxiety issues and a bunch of other PSSD-type symptoms, plus a bunch of new sensitivities to foods/meds/hygiene products. No good

Concerned that I may be having post-finasteride like symptoms from using a shampoo with Saw Palmetto (which has similar properties) as an ingredient

PSSD is the worst curse I could imagine.. and in may next year 19 years full.


PSSD sufferer | I regret taking antidepressants 已轉發

Such a tragedy. I already told my kids to never ever touch antidepressants. What with the risk of PSSD and akathisia too. It's like a Russian roulette.


PSSD sufferer | I regret taking antidepressants 已轉發

If I don't improve in the next two years, I'll do everything I can to recover, even if it means risking my life. I don't care; I don't intend to live in this PSSD hell much longer.
