1- What is your gender?

Male


2- Why did you take antidepressants in the first place? and for how long were you on them? which med?

I initially began taking 20mg of prozac during sophomore year of high school due to extreme anxiety and slight depression. I continued to it until the beginning of freshman year in college so it was about 2 years in total. Towards the end of my interaction with prozac I felt as though my anxiety and depression were almost completely gone and that I no longer need to take the prozac. I started sporadically taking doses when ever I remembered to take them and that what led to my current PSSD state. One day I noticed that I couldn't get even the slightest erection no matter how hard I tried and I knew there was a problem. My libido was definitely blunted as well as the beginning but over the past few years has gotten much worse.

3- How was your sexual and emotional function before antidepressant intake?

I was hyper sexual before prozac. Sex was on my mind constantly and there wasn't a single problem with my erections. I also am able to remember what it feels like to have feelings for a girl and actually be able to feel anything.


4- What are your symptoms exactly and when did they start? sexual dyfunction alone, or cognitive/emotional/hedonistic as well? which symptom is bothering you the most?

I have almost complete loss of libido as well as very weak erections and loss of feelings. The only time I can feel my libido is watching pornography. If im simply going about my day sex never crosses my mind unless I force it to.

I would say that the loss of libido and the loss of the ability for affection are the two symptoms that bother me the most. I say this because I never get any windows. I dont remember the last time i felt my libido spike unless i was actually watching stimulus such as pornography and even then the libido is nowhere near where it used to be. I also have a girlfriend and even though I care for her deeply I simply cant feel anything and it sucks.


5- What meds/suppplements have you tried so far?

Inositol 18g, wellbutrin, SJW(made it worse), chinese herbs, microdose prozac (made it much worse), Flibanserin (slight effect), Mucuna Dopa (no effect), Maca (no effect), Clomid ( no effect), berebine (no effect), horny goat weed (increased erections)

6- Do you have access to meds without prescription (buy online), or would strictly require a prescription for meds to try?

I have access to meds without a prescription.

7- Can you tolerate galicky foods? what about proteins?

no intolerance to garlicky foods or proteins

8- Have you done any blood testing? what were the results?

I have gone to both a normal physician and endocrinologist for testing and everything turned out fine.

cortisol 8.8 ug/dl
prolactin 8.3 ng/ml
total testosterone 465 ng/dl
Thyroxine free 1.4 ng/dl
Thyroid stimulating hormone 1.74 Mu/L
free test was also normal cant find the number rn

@mesolimbo could you please take a look at my introduction? My form of PSSD seems to be resistant to many supplements that I have tried.

I recently took flibanserin and it gave me a single sexual dream after 1 month which is more recovery than I've ever experienced. Combining flibanserin with L-dopa seemed to drop my libido from a 2 to a complete 0.

Could you please offer some assistance? Thanks.
