Could this explain my blunted emotions, it mentions TIDA neurons, the inhibition of 'em, and they're in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus and the hypothalamus is located below the thalamus and is part of the limbic system and the limbric system supports a variety of functions including emotion, behavior, motivation, long-term memory, and olfaction.

Nice find. I have all of those symptoms except maybe olfactory. I think my sense of smell is still normal.

I've often compared the sexual side effects and libido loss associated with PSSD to a continuous refractory period, which is mediated by prolactin.

I have had prolactin measured and it came came back well within range. Anyone else?

Oh yeah. This is the paper that started it all.

Interesting, this has come out since I wrote my 2015 paper using Dr. Dremencov's 2009 article:

My prolactin is normal which I didn't expect; I expected it to be high. That being said, my testosterone is extremely low so I wonder if it prolactin is still not a issue. The two usually counter each other. So if the testosterone is low but prolactin normal.... would that be the same effect as prolactin being high; basically a teeter-totter effect.
