We´re getting tired of this shit Jaiho, we´re not just a vocal minority and not hearing us but a "millions people on remission" is an insult. I´m done with that. I´m happy if that shitty SSRI worked with you, but for us, it caused ALL of these symptoms, and besides having to deal with these issues, we have to deal with a guy who says that isn´t real because you aren´t experiencing this. The symptoms that your friend describe aren´t even related to PSSD besides anhedonia, but we deal with a plethora of sexual symptoms, so get over it.jaiho wrote:Here's a short from a friend of mine on 200mg Zoloft:
"
Life is terrifying outside of my anhedonic bubble, even though I'm so grateful to feel things again. In fact, I might be feeling TOO much and expressing too much. Just yesterday I told someone that I loved them way too damn early and of course feel sick to my stomach with regret because it was too soon for them. They know about the depression, but I never mentioned not feeling feelings for large chunks of time. I think that feeling absolutely nothing makes emotions seem more intense once they finally come back. I also think that people can wrap their heads around feeling a "sad" depressed much easier than than feeling "blank.""
This goes against everything you read on the internet about SSRIs. Are you more likely to hear from the millions of people in remission, or the vocal minority on the forums, saying SSRIs will sexually & emotionally castrate you?
I mean, sure, its possible. But what if theres a med combo out there that works for everyone here on this forum, but stubborness & over researching on the internet kept us from remission?
I will no longer discount PSSD as existing but i think there needs to be further research on anecdotes on whether depression can induce gential numbness, which from my personal experience, it sure can.
This will be my last response to you, because in a way you´re being disrespectful.
