Re: no improvement yet on lithium

WOW I am really surprised, I am not a doctor but my psychiatrist doesn't allow me more because she says even 800mg is higher then the recommended dose and it's dangerous. And I am doing blood tests and she knows everything about PSSD so she is willing to "break the rules"... i bet 1600 or ...

Re: PSSD Symptoms (Official Thread)

I've been reading around the forum and it seems like most people are saying their sexual symptoms began or worsened after discontinuation but my experience was that the symptoms started in the first week of taking the drug and then did not abate after discontinuing. I do not get this waves and wind...

Re: Can we believe what this website says about CBD and its touted healing properties on PSSD ?

they did a lot of research to boost the sells. of course i don't believe in the cure proposed but what they described as possible roots for PSSD is true. even that estrogene stuff. i am for a long time with this feeling about estrogen to be one of the causes. there are studies that estrogen in impor...

Re: Lithium orotate + DHEA

Actually, on rereading, if she hadn't stopped SSRIs, it wasn't PSSD but a medication-related side effect. PSSD is reported 6 months after stopping the medication and is persistent sexual dysfunction - without any drugs. Of course is not PSSD... i told "she couldn't stop SSRI's" for some r...

Re: Vincristine increases sensation/neuropathic pain by potentiating PIEZO2

Thanks, that's interesting! It gives us hope! That said, PIEZO2 might not be involved in the pleasure of sensations : In clinical evaluations and surveys, three men and two women with PIEZO2-deficiency syndrome reported severe hyposensitivity in genital sensation. Despite their marked mechanosensor...
