Anyone here feels suicidal or felt suicidal before the genital numbness started? I'm talking about suicidal thoughts UNRELATED to the genital numbness.
I'm gathering info for a hypothesis.

Re: Sertraline reinstatement
Dude, seriously, you are really abusing sertraline like a street junkie expecting some "immediate high effect", be careful with this drug... This drug has slow metabolism and long half life, some paradoxical and immediate effect might happen, like you had "prior pssd", and many ...

Re: Sertraline reinstatement
I can take 500 mg of Sertraline and still not feel any big side effects. Sorry, I just had to try it... So obviously, I am relatively immune / insensitive to it. Before PSSD, 25 mg would already put me to the edge, I would be really nervous. Perhaps that is an important information and could possib...

Re: Sertraline reinstatement
How are you doing specifically with the genital numbness, FGN? Do you feel sertaline is a sort of placebo for you? And thank you for documenting. Overall sounds like while mixed, it's been a positive change for you? For energy I suggest 2.5g of methylphenidate a day, twice a day perhaps. 5g twice a ...

Re: Placebo Effect Plays Big Role in Antidepressant's Impact on Anxiety: Study
Yup. Have you read "The emperor's new drugs" by Irving Kirsch? Placebo, Nocebo, you name it. Kirsch says they may be "active placebos" drugs meant to cause *side effects* as being actually the only thing the drug does, since it does something, the patient thinks is not placebo an...

Re: Nature: Splenectomy is associated with sexual dysfunctions and decreased libido
Consider reading this report in Nature . Of course, I have no idea if this surgery lowers libido through the same mechanism of action as PSSD. No one seems to be quite sure why this surgery impacts the libido but it seems to be the only surgery that has this effect. The article doesn’t mention geni...

Re: Sertraline reinstatement
Yes, I know that feeling sleepy after an orgasm is normal. But when I had PSSD, my orgasms were relatively mute, and I was not tired after it. Now it's no longer mute, and I DO feel sleepy after having an orgasm. So it has normalized again. Yes, my genital area is more sensitive now. No hair change...

Re: Coping mechanisms
Sorry for the late reply guys. I don't mean anxiety cause PSSD. Anxiety has no way to cause PSSD. I mean you are suffering from PSSD because of your current anxiety and fear. If you can find a way to totally eliminate your anxiety you no longer suffer from what you lost. At the moment I am 99.99% c...

Re: Sertraline reinstatement
Since a few days, my penis is really big at masturbation. Like pre-PSSD. The glans especially. And I am more horny at masturbating. I remember that before reinstatement I looked at porn very critical and disliked bodies and faces. Now my view is more animalistic. And the orgasms are a bit like expl...
