Possible PSSD after stopping?

Unread postby Aledrinkinggoblin » Tue Jun 12, 2018 12:55 pm

Hey, i was ssris for about three years, most recently tapered off luvox since it wasn't helping with ocd. I tapered over four months and stopped completely in March(3 months ago), after stopping completely i noticed sexual issues i wasn't having while ON the meds such as, no morning erection, low libido, soft glans. Could this just be a temporary withdrawal symptom or the infamous PSSD? I also noticed decreased effects of alcohol. I reinstated a very small amount of Luvox about three days ago like 15-20mg to see if it would help but I didn't notice much. Is it worth trying a small amount of luvox again or would that complicate things further? Seems that most people with pssd have it as a continuation of side effects they were already having on the meds, my case seems a bit weird since i never had sexual side effects on the ssri, just now that i came off.

Everyone's story here is a bit different. You only have these effects for a short time, so they could still disappear.
Just take your time and dont mess to much with SSRI's for now. If you do decide to quit entirely, be sure to taper off really slowly, that seems to work best.

I did come off, I stopped in early March. I only took a small amount of luvox about three days ago to see if it would help. Is it common to see pssd only after stopping ssris?

Yes, although most here also had some side-effects why on the meds. In my case it got worse after the SSRI, especially with anhedonia.
