he has been off a year and still cured...tenyears, thats a daft thing to say, you might as well say pssd is all in peoples heads, a drug can cause this, another drug can reverse it, i have no doubt about that

I have no doubt this was mirtazapine, I know 3 people who have pssd/severe anhedonia purely from mirtazapine....also if you look on normal ''anxiety'' forums on the mirtazapine sections, you see people saying on mirt, they cannot enjoy music anymore etc.... this is quite a mystery to me, I know that...

One thing Ive noticed after 4 years of reading these boards is that people with pssd have a noticeably higher predisposition to developing priapism when trying drugs that are known to have this effect...this suggests a sensitivity (upregulation) of the receptors responsible for this.....we know that...

sorry, I should also say that upreg that causes terror, akathisia etc seems o happen 4-6 months after stopping a med, it has a tardive nature, which is why I asked how long after stopping mianserin this terror started....for me, I was completely normal for 5 months after stopping citalopram, fine at...

Blackout did the mianserin not help with reducing the terror etc? How long after stopping mianserin did the terror start? the terror which I know so well (is it terror for NO reason? with no thoughts behind it, just the sensation of severe terror?) is a lesser form of akathisia, my akathisia when it...
