Re: Psilocybin is helping my symptoms

Yes, psilocybin is helping me. I microcode but also macro dose. I'm also using kundalini yoga, breath work and more. Anhedonia isn't something I experience any more. Emotional blunting is improving. Slight improvements to erections and libido and am hoping for more improvements as I continue

A natural route to recovery

Hi there. I've written previously (last year). I've been suffering from PSSD since taking sertraline in 2015 but only realised what it was I had last year. What brought things to a head is a I had a relationship for the first time in six years. It fell apart pretty quickly due to my inability to hav...

5mg is quite a low dose ;) but this drug needs to start low
Starting low it is then and will see how it goes

Thank you for letting me know.

Buspirone (first time)

Hi there. My doctor has prescribed my Buspirone to see if has any affect on my PSSD. He is prescribing one 30mg tablet taken twice a day (but not every day, only on the days where I want to attempt anything sexual). But I've read elsewhere that some have been taking it daily. So don't know if I am b...

Re: Cured with Zoloft

I look forward to your update. I've been thinking about this too. Back in 2015 I went on Zoloft at 50mg and became hyper sexual. When I went up to 100mg this effect stopped, my libido died and since coming off of it in 2016 I have had PSSD. I was wondering if reinstating at 50mg would have the same ...

Re: I think I've had PSSD for the past six years

Hi there! I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing all of this heartache. PSSD is truly traumatizing and it doesn't help that it is often dismissed by medical professionals. I am fairly new to the forum as well and I am no chemist, so my input here is solely for encouragement. I don't want for ...

Re: Sertraline, again?

The only way to be sure would be to try being confident enough to avoid nocebo effect... From my experience, I was better during reinstatement and worse afterwards. 1) I had slight PSSD the first time I stopped SSRI 2) My shrink told me my symptoms were a sign of depression and I started another ro...

Sertraline, again?

Hi there. My PSSD came though the anti-depressant Sertraline (Zoloft). When I was originally prescribed it (at 50mg), I became hyper sexual. As soon as I went up to 100mg, my libido died. I then went up to 150mg, stayed on it for about a year, then slowly tapered off down to nothing over a period of...
