Re: Pssd could be an ghrelin dysfunction induced by serotonin 2c antagonism that caused antibodies on that same receptor

The antibodies part is interesting to me. Could it be some people get pssd because they have stronger immune systems, or immune systems that for some reason look at the ssri differently. It could maybe explain how some people get pssd after just 1 pill. I wonder if rate and strength of onboarding co...

Re: HCG to increase neuro steroids

I want to keep this topic on HCG. I'll just point out that I've obtained a prescription for prozac (I took celexa which gave me pssd ~11 years ago) and i'm staring at it, very freaked out about trying it to be honest. If I go that path i'll add buspar to it and post on the thread about that combo. I...

Re: HCG to increase neuro steroids

Thanks for the update Troskie. Any more news? I think i'm going to quit the hcg and start an SSRI with intention of combining it with Buspar. My mental health has been bad lately, and I haven't used ssri in ~11 years. I already have low libido and sensation, not sure I have much to lose. The hcg is...

How to tell whats pssd whats not

During 16-18, I did way too many drugs and they wrecked my mental health, causing psychosis at times and massive anxiety. That's why I got on an ssri at 19, to try and get off those drugs and get my life back on track. The thing is at 18, for ~8 months I quit the recreational drugs prior to starting...

Re: HCG to increase neuro steroids

I've been on hcg for ~11 weeks now. I have had some noticeable changes. In 11 years since getting pssd, for the first time I am having some fantasies of girls I know and getting random strong-ish erections from that. I'm fairly sure I haven't done that at all since getting pssd. The mental feeling I...

Re: Potential cure for PFS (HCG)

I started hcg monotherapy (250 iu mon/wed/fri) 7.5 weeks ago. I made a topic on it here: https://pssdforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=4802. So far i'm pretty optimistic with the changes i've seen. Its too early to really evaluate though and I don't want to get anyones hopes up. I just reordered mo...

Re: HCG to increase neuro steroids

I’ve been taking 100mg test/week and 200IU HCG 2x/week for the past month and I’ve gotten more energy and motivation. Would I be getting the neurosteroid benefits of using this dosage or should I increase the dosage? I really can't say. I myself have been doing 250IU hcg EOD, the only reason is i'm...

Re: What helps specifically for genital numbness? anyone here honestly have the same skin sensation as pre ssri?

Nothing permanent, but the first couple times I did adderall ~ 2 years ago (while on st johns wort) I got massive libido and genital numbness went away. I quit the st johns wort, and did adderall some more over the past 2 years and it still gives me libido but no help on the genital numbness anymore...

Just to be clear, is what you did hcg monotherapy? If so what sort of dosage/timeline did you do that for.

The thought is hcg monotherapy will allow downstream neurosteroids to be produced, and taking testosterone will not give you this effect.
