PSSD

[Chemicalcastration20]

Anyone ever heard of PSSD (post ssri sexual disfuntion)?? it comes with crippling anhedonia.. Unable to feel any emotions or pleasure out of anything. Its basically not worth living with this condition. Iv had 3 failed attempts to end it all now. Things are desperate.

 

[EmptyManForever]

Yes I suffer from PSSD too, I feel so empty as well ,I have anhedonia as well,like I also can't feel pleasure from anything anymore, this is why I wanna ctb as well ,I've also had many attempts all of which failed, now I'm just stuck in between life and death

So sorry to hear you are also experiencing this living nightmare. The sexual disfunction is far from my worrys now.. The anhedonia and insomnia have pretty much disabled me. How long have you had PSSD if you don't mind me asking? Iv had it for 2 years, the doctors/physiatrists destroyed my life with a cocktail of SSRIs at me left me in this cabbage state. I only had mild anxiety prior to those meds and I really did love my life

I've had PSSD for 3 years and counting

the doctors/physiatrists destroyed my life with a cocktail of SSRIs at me left me in this cabbage state

I know exactly how you feel, they destroyed my life too and I'm in that "cabbage" state as well

. I only had mild anxiety prior to those meds and I really did love my life

I also had anxiety, that's what lead me to take these meds and yea I used to live life to the fullest before taking psych meds, and after taking them ,they completely ruined my life

Same here man

 

[Chemicalcastration20]

I really feel for you two, and everyone else that has this. It's so bloody cruel. Main reasons I will CBT is because of crippling anhedonia, memory loss, bad cognition and severe insomnia.. Think the condition needs renaming as its not just sexual disfuntion.

 

[ADruinedmylife]

Yeah it is the full package that is too much for me.

 

[Chemicalcastration20]

I really don't know what to do anymore.. I don't think it's going to be long before I snap and take my life, my attempts are getting more frequent. I'm close to hitting the bottle again and probably start doing MDMA and other drugs so I can have a good time before I go.

This is so cruel, I fucking loved my life was a tree surgeon, felt on top of the world with my job I loved it. I was a very emotional and caring person, I loved nature and spent most of my time with my amazing freinds out in nature. I lost everything I had because of PSSD.. Girlfriend, job, house.

I now wish to spend the rest of my days in the forest out in my old village.. Its where I started my journey and its where I will end it.. Going to get High and drunk everyday atleast I'll have a bit of my emotions back.
If you guys want a chat I'm free anytime to talk I know how lonely this condition can be for us x

Yeah the crippling anhedonia is the worse IMO and inability to feel love/attraction. When you take away from someone their ability to experience emotions and sexuality what is left.

I am here for the same reason. Emotional numbness, blocking of thoughts, cognitive impairment, sexual dysfunction.
I had pssd stage 1, i accepted that and lived well again. but all my pssd symptoms got worse 1000 times from the antiemetic injection for dizziness without my consent. So i am here on this forum.

 

[jrums]

Same I have the full syndrome as well. Very severe insomnia, 0 emotions, physical damage, etc. I have full SN cocktail. Just waiting for the opportunity. 2.5 years and nothing has improved. Such a hellish condition.

 

[Moon Flower]

I'm not really sure if I have the sexual dysfunction, but I'm not particularly sexually interested in my partner (or anyone else for that matter), and I do have severe anhedonia

Prior to this I had never heard of it, though this exact thing is why I stopped taking anti-depressants. I could handle feeling numb &empty less than I could handle the roller coaster (emotions).

Sorry that you're feeling this way, I couldn't even imagine

Do you dare take reglan (antipsychotic)?

Do you take antideprsants?

You did the right thing. Never again take antideprsants, no even few pills, because pill or few can cause pssd. You can learn more about this on pssd forum, risk pssd page, surviving antideprsants forum, facebooks groups and more. My pssd which was acceptable and with which i could live well got drasticly worse from one dosage of the antiemetic torecan and it is reason i am here.

I am taking Domperidone. Doesn't matter either way because I'm dying after.

2 days procedure as reglan ?

Stat dose of domperidone

 

[killedbypsychiatry]

I also have pssd. I loved my life before this.if I could at least recover my emotions I would live I don't care if I can't have sex but I'm not sure that's possible.

pssd affects how our receptors work, will that make N not work on us?

No N affects the central nervous system and is deadly. It shuts everything down.

 

[killedbypsychiatry]

I know, but pssd affects our CNS function. people have reported no longer having effect from stuff like alcohol, coffee, or drugs after getting pssd.

I gave you the correct answer which is that N will kill anyone. It is a central nervous system depressant and a strong one. It's not like other drugs.

thank you :) I am just scared bc I read there's some medications that can make a small percent of people go into a coma and then wake up.

 

[jrums]

The central nervous system is the brain and spinal cord. N effects the brain and specifically the GABA-A receptor. I have PSSD and that receptor is not responding properly, or it's not fully functioning for me as I can take 200 mg of Valium and not sleep, so then N might not kill me. Or it would take triple the lethal dose. I am using SN for this reason as well as it was easier to get and cheaper.

omg now I'm scared. I'm scared of SN. do you think it's worth trying with 4 bottles of N if i have pssd? I am so scared of SN

 

[jrums]

If you aren't r

Responding to things like drugs or alcohol it's probably worth taking more. Have you tried benzos since PSSD?

i tried them once and they worked if i remember correctly, but i also tried alcohol and didn't respond to that

You might want to double up just in case

 

[killedbypsychiatry]

yep if I choose N, I'll double up, the issue now is that I need to make money somehow to buy N, it's expensive and my parents definitely won't buy it for me (funny how they had the audacity to bring me into existence, drug me as a kid but they won't help me end the suffering they caused upon me) I don't know how I'll manage to work with a fried brain. maybe I will end up choosing SN.

 

[rs929]

How are you guys doing? I think I also have this since I've started on SSRI's 18 years ago. Never been able to orgasm again (I do ejaculate though). And I've been pretty much emotionless except for depression periods with crying spells.
