PSSD Symptoms (Official Thread)

I read a lot about Face-structure changes in PFS communities. Is that effect also known in the PSSD Community or does somebody observing effects like this?

Not shocking but alcohol withdrawal does the same thing to people . It is very well documented that alcohol withdrawal induces Anhedonia . Could this be a very similar response of the brain ?

Omar90 Im in the same state as you. Visualising isn't possible for me, sense of smell is reduced and my urinary function is affected as well.

Never heard of anything like that. Certainly haven't experienced it myself

Well I look really different to how I did before getting on ssris and antipsychotics. Antipsychotics seem to have permanently altered my metabolism and appetite. Before first taking antipsychotics I always weighed about 58kg, last year my weight reached 77kg. I'm down to about 66 now but I still look different.

What do you mean when you tell you look different? What Are your Symptoms?

I noticed this too - it's from less than stellar PC muscle functioning allowing less blood over time and weaker erections. It's not permanent. When I have a good day or period, my penis goes back to normal.
I do just as stated above - regularly use Viagra to keep the blood flow and erections in good shape and it's enough to get by. Hard (or should I say soft haha) to get a reliable usable erection without V.

I'd say these are more from hormone crashes due to the drugs than the drugs themselves. If that makes sense.

For me the emotional anhedonia I may personally suffer from is too hard to quantify for me to be able to describe it with any degree of accuracy. I cannot say I feel noticeably different to how I did pre-pssd as far as emotions go, with the exception of anxiety and arousal which have both nearly vanished.
