Re: PSSD vs PFS a test

I took 2 grams a day and even after a single day my symptoms of both PFS and PSSD resolved a lot. The symptoms always returned though. But I am wondering if the effects are the same for everyone. PSSD and PFS are suspected to be caused by common mechanisms https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29675596

Did you mean to link the study on PFS patients instead? I couldn't find the word "androgen" anywhere in the study on citalopram. Oops, sorry about that. They're suspected to be the same mechanism: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29675596 In the study I linked in the main post the &quo...

Re: NEWS: June 2019: EMA warning of PSSD on SSRIs || 2018: Study showing SSRI's cause DNA Methylatio

Is this good or bad? Is DNA methylation reversible? Unfortunately the study suspects this is permanent Here, we attempted to confirm the hypothesis that pharmacological agents can cause permanent changes via epigenetic reprogramming. The results show that our first test drug, citalopram, can cause ...

NEWS: June 2019: EMA warning of PSSD on SSRIs || 2018: Study showing SSRI's cause DNA Methylation

It appears PSSD has finally been recognized at an official capacity. This makes me so happy for all of those whose doctors did not believe them or family that thought they were crazy. I was constantly told I was being dramatic by outright refusing any SSRI. On the 11th of June 2019 the Pharmacovigil...

Re: Scared of any drug that touches serotonin

Don't take adderal. It's basically amphetamine. Don't listen to your doctor. He may try to convince you that you need it, but you really don't. He's really just a drug dealer in a white coat. You really think taking amphetamine every day is good for the brain long term? If you are so far undamaged ...

Re: Scared of any drug that touches serotonin

It seems to be from anything that raises serotonin quickly. I've seen it from St. John's Wort and even 5-HTP supplements. Cigarettes do that within 7 seconds of inhaling. With the amount of people who have smoked since the dawn of time you'd think someone would have caught on by now if that were th...

Re: Scared of any drug that touches serotonin

Hey. Welcome. In my opinion I've seen other things cause PSSD-like disorders. MDMA comes to mind. IMO you're probably overthinking it. I'd keep away from stimulants unless absolutely needed, but there are worse things in the world. I think just about everything (exaggeration of course) affects 5-ht...

Re: Scared of any drug that touches serotonin

It seems that a lot of psychotropic drugs, not just SSRIs, can cause persistent SD. There are examples of people getting persistent SD from bupropion. Bupropion can cause PSSD because after the dopamine kick it basically acts just like an SSRI once you're on it long enough. I haven't seen anything ...

Re: Scared of any drug that touches serotonin

So you don't have PSSD nor SD? Then don't even touch SSRI. And please could you tell us more about your symptoms and why do you want medicine so badly? I'll never touch an SSRI, that's why I'm on a benzo. I can't use it every day but it helps me function. My symptoms are pretty simple, can't leave ...
