PSSD Symptoms (Official Thread)

[continue]

to me, it was a long period of slow recovery when I tried several stuffs:

- 41-day water fasting
- around 20 liver flushes
- low carb high fat diet
- daily 40g 100% cocoa chocolate (for copper replenishing, or maybe it worked for other unknown reason)

nowadays, I feel I must take huperzine and valerian daily, otherwise I may feel numb. (those supps wouldn't work before my 4 experiments above)
chronic ethanol use has helped also.

Does anybody else got extreme fatigue? I cant barely walk anymore it feels like I got drugged.
My energy was the last thing I had. Now I got no libido,no memory,no cognition,my eyes are bad,my hearing is bad.
I dont say pssd is brain damage but I think some people got toxic reactions from antidepressants and the libido thing is just a part off it

I don't have simmilar symptoms, but I also barely function. Just wanted to let you know that you are not alone and that I believe you will get better. It is just 4 months off, maybe it is another phase of your body healing. Take care man and don't give up!

Although ive been only using it for a couple weeks, ashwagandha has been quite impressive on energy, without any sleep issues

Has anyone else found that, since SSRIs/developing PSSD, your resting heart rate is lower?
This has been one benefit for me. I used to have a very high resting heart rate. It interfered with my ability to exercise and caused a lot of anxiety for me. It wasn't anxiety causing the elevated heart rate - I could be relaxed, reading a book, and my heart rate was always in the 90s. Standing up would send it to 115+. I was very reactive. If I was startled, it would shoot even higher.

Now it averages 63. I'm able to exercise and it responds normally for the first time in my life. I took Prozac for 14 days in February of this year (though I took it 20 years ago as a child for a longer period of time.)

My quality of life, in many ways, has improved due to this -- but even with that, losing my ability to enjoy sex seems a huge price to pay. Think if I could have one or the other, I'd go back to having the higher heart rate.

Yeah, you just pay half of your soul in exchange for a more comfortable heartbeat.

Aside from lower sex drive, one of my symptoms is PE. Before zoloft I could go for as long as I wanted, now it only takes a couple of minutes... How can I fix this? Thanks.
