PSSD Symptoms (Official Thread)

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.

I know there are a lot of similarities between most PSSD sufferers, but there seems to be a lot of differences too. Lack of libido and Anhedonia are really bothering me at the moment and I was just curious as to whether they always go together with people here.

Does anyone here have a normal libido but still have Anhedonia in other parts of their lives, or inversely no Anhedonia but no Libido. I suppose I'm curious to hear if you can experience one without the other.

I can say that I have both. From what I've gathered on here is that the individuals without anhedonia still have somewhat of a libido but other sexual symptoms. I could be wrong. Maybe there is a correlation.

It's strange Juvo, I would have imaged that if you had Anhedonia your Libido would go along with it. I myself find it hard to get any emotional response to anything so it makes sense that I wouldn't have a Libido.

I wonder how likely it is that the root cause for PSSD is actually the same in everyone. SSRI's seem to mess with so many different parts of us I wonder if there is actually one silver bullet for PSSD. I mean from what I've read they can seriously mess with your Testosterone, Dopamine, Serotonin, Choline, NOS, the list goes on... If any one of these hormones or neurotransmiters aren't functioning normally we'd be likely to have some type of sexual dysfunction.

So what are the chances that recovery for each and every sufferer will come from one single treatment? Isn't it possible that if there was a cure it would only help one aspect of their PSSD? I suppose I find it strange to assume there is only one single cause to PSSD when so many things could possibly be wrong with us and symptoms are different from person to person. It seems like someone that has ED but still has libido would have a different problem than someone with no libido but can still get an erection.

I seriously do hope there is only one single cause to all of our problems and therefore one single treatment that can reverse it all. But I wonder...

For me libido and anhedonia are the main issues. Everything else is pretty ok

I don't know if my libido is normal.. but i can get an erection no problem, i do have Anhedonia/lost my emotions becuase of zoloft.

can't feel lust/desire/horny but i am able to get an erection its odd. My penis dosen't feel numb is just that i can't feel connected emotionally towards anyone. It's like i can't give a shit/no desire for anything.

Last week I visited an urologist and told him about my problems (pssd) and of course its the first time he heard about this kind a problem.
I did all the tests and everything was ok .I ask him about the penis shrinking problem and he just sad "yea its normal for your penis to shrink when you dont use him"
I asked him " but is it permanent " and he just sad "of course".
So here it is guys ,one more thing we should be worried about. I already lost and inch and my dick was average size now I am getting closer to under average .This just sucks.

I have been looking into ltp and ltd in regards to glutamate function. I wonder how many people here feel they are less able to form memories, or learn as they once did?
