Do not disregard the possibility of hormonal problems, even with normal blood tests

thanks a lot . Many people who recover dont give a second thought to come here and say what helped them. Thank you very much, I will think of it. Hey I have question in mind , how was your erection on SSRI ? Did your erection become weaker after you stop ssri or when you were on SSRI ? ​ do you have gastrointestinal problems ?

Honestly all I can remember about my erections on SSRIs was it immediately made my dick numb (I mean like within an hour), and when I’d start SSRIs after not being on them for a while I’d get very stiff, very spontaneous erections for no reason. The inception of my sexual dysfunction coincided with SSRI usage, but it also coincided with the end of puberty. That’s why I’m unsure if I had a wholly hormonal issue, or instead if PSSD causes testosterone issues or is otherwise treatable with testosterone. And I’ve always had slight GI issues. Namely stress-induced pains and runny stools. Had them since I was like 13 though so I can’t tell if SSRIs made any difference for better or worse.

man my case so fucking different. I had erection on SSRi after I stop them,my erection got weaker and weaker eventually leading to wet dreams and semen leakage without wet dream. I am so frustated everytime I sleep, it leaks in my pant. My body is deteorating day by day. I am 21 years old I might not live long.I was prescribed SSRi aorund 18, in 3 years I took so many drugs later when I come to know it is the SSRI that cause it after PSSD in net, I threw away all of them right away. Today I am 2 months off weeping and crying . I had great ambition in my life now all turned into ashes

Yeah it’s awful. You were prescribed SSRIs at a similar age as me. And I honestly believe that there is a good possibility that I didn’t have PSSD, and I instead had an androgen insensitivity masquerading as PSSD. It would explain why I had normal sexual functioning right up until the end of puberty. Of course it could still have been PSSD. I’ll never know for sure. If I were you, I’d get your testosterone and SHBG tested. From that you can work out your free testosterone. Anything under 10ng/dl is what I’d consider low. Even if you’re above 10ng/dl like I was, that doesn’t mean you can’t have an androgen insensitivity (checking CAG repeat length of AR genes can help diagnose androgen insensitivity). Basically, testosterone worked for me, it obviously has a strong association with sexual functioning, and it’s generally healthier to have a high serum testosterone than a medium serum testosterone. So I don’t think there’s any reason why you shouldn’t aim to get put on testosterone. Obviously I’m not a doctor, so if you get put on steroids and your head explodes or some shit don’t come crying to me.

Are you going to take all those medicines whole life ?
PSSDanonymous222 Oct 6, 2021

Yep. Unless I have a good reason not to take them, I’ll happily take them forever.

Do you feel pleasure?

Same I feel like tong Kat Ali helps me a lot. I thought I had PSSD from haldol shot and risperdone tablets but it turns out it was just as you suggested actually. Low testosterone. Test and dopamine signaling are highly correlated… What also helped me was salvia. Dopamine agonist and kappa opioids receptor agonis. The dissociative effect and possibly dopamine agonist effect changed my perspective drastically and helped me feel pleasure again
