PGAD on SSRI (Sertraline), and after and as withdrawal and tapering symptom
Posted: Mon Mar 25, 2024 6:00 pm
Hi.
So, I have PGAD. It got worse after an overdose of Sertraline prescribed by a doctor, and serotenergic syndrome (which was of course diagnosed as bipolar due to my increased awareness of sex and my restlessness – I could hardly live in my own skin). Now, it comes every time I change my dose during tapering of Quetiapine, and unfortunately I have just yesterday had to go back into the Sertraline (only 1 mg), and the PGAD is really back. It has not ruined my marriage, but it would have, had it not been for husband's extreme patients and loyalty. It's been tough though.
I know, a lot of you are dealing with what would seem to be the opposite of this syndrome, but I do experience PGAD on the one hand and a numbness (so, no way of getting rid of the PGAD feeling) on the other. So, it is just constant...
I don't know if there's a place for me here, but I hope so as this is a problem people in the world just can't seem to grasp or relate to. It is lonely.
