Re: Suffering for 23 years

Wow, I'm really sorry this happened to you. I can't imagine going through surgery and to not even get any benefit at the end of it. I'm really glad that the Panorama documentary is reaching more people. People have a right to know that these drugs can cause long lasting effects. I would be careful w...

Your Story Matters: Please Share Your Experience With The PSSD Network

Hello everyone, The PSSD Network is a newly established charity that is doing great work spreading awareness of PSSD. They have already managed to get PSSD featured on a BBC Panorama documentary and major UK newspapers. They are looking for as many people as possible to come forward and share their ...

Re: SRIs must not be called "anti-depressants"

You are right. I should have called them "depression pills" as Peter Gøtzsche does. These drugs can have many more negative effects beyond sexual problems. I don't think SSRIs even "work" for severe depression. http://cepuk.org/2021/06/16/guest-blog-really-depressed-people-need-a...

Are antidepressants the biggest medical disaster in history?

I think they might be. Short 8-12 week industry funded trials show a 3 point difference on a 50 point scale of a depression questionnaire. Somehow that is used as justification to give these drugs to millions. In my country 20% of the adult population is taking an antidepressant, so even if harm is ...

Re: Are there any biochemical explanations as to why some develop PSSD only after withdrawal?

You would better talk to a doctor and get out of the internet. There's treatments that doesn't give you low libido, decreased sensation and inability to cry. Yeah, talk to a doctor...I'm sure that will help /s They have brain damage from an SSRI, doctors don't even believe this exists. Talking to t...

Re: PSSD for 3 years, corticosteroids temporarily cured all PSSD symptoms

I recently came across this paper and it reminded me of this thread: https://www.future-science.com/doi/full/10.4155/fmc-2021-0068 It seems like corticosteroids can bind to tryptophan hydroxylase and enhance it's function in some way. It's possible this would lead to more serotonin in your brain and...

Re: The most viewed video on PSSD has just been published and is German

That doctor was so clueless. "PSSD is rare". He sees a patient with obvious PSSD and then writes it off as being caused by trauma. I bet he also thinks blue skies are rare because he doesn't look up.

Re: Calcitriol (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3)

Does anyone know if there is anyone out there that ever tried this? I am really curious to know if other people get the same effects as me. If taken at the right dose it could potentially cure someone with PSSD. I know people on here have experimented with all sorts of things so I figured someone mi...

Re: Calcitriol (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3)

Hey guys, sorry I didn't reply sooner. I take very small amounts of vitamin D now (200iu). You need to understand that I am quite unwell though. I doubt a normal person would notice anything from such a low dose. Something is wrong in my body. I take a tiny dose of vitamin D and my bones are aching ...

Calcitriol (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3)

Hey, I wanted to post this as an idea for something you could try and take if you a desperate and willing to risk the side effects. I would be really interested to know what happens if anyone takes this. I have had some form of PSSD for almost 7 years now. During that time I developed another medica...
