Good stuff!

Are any of you guys signing up for the University of Milan study of PSSD to see if lowered neurosteroid levels are part of the condition?

I wanted ask you once...are there any recoveries from post accutane? There seem to be quite a few recoveries from physical side effects of Accutane, such as bowel and digestive problems, dry skin and eyes, and joint pains. On the other hand, the people with sexual and mental side effects after Accu...

Yea I'd never suggest anyone starting it, I was just so intrigued by how specific it was to some of the brain regions we focus on. However, if anyone has tried it, I'd be curious to see what happened. In the same way, if it does do permanent damage in that way, then maybe an SSRI would be something...

Thanks Ghost. My schooling is over until June, so I finally have time to spend dealing with this atrocity. Planning on elaborating more on some of these studies on the LastingSides site over the next month. btw- Kudos to you for going into the medical field! Surprising that more people who were scre...

Hello all, In the past several years there has been a noticeable increase in the recognition of PSSD, Post-Finasteride Syndrome, and Post-Acctuane Sexual Dysfunction. There has also been a rise in intercommunication among our patient groups, with a clear overlap in our most common and persistent sym...

Hello everyone. Glad to see the PSSD forum has been reborn since the days of forum-motion. I am a 17-year sufferer of post-Accutane sexual dysfunction and severe anhedonia who has noticed many PSSD, PFS, and post-Accutane patients suffer identical symptoms. ...Not just simple ED, but severe genital ...
