Can PSSD start months/years after stopping SSRI

Unread post by VincentL »

Hi, can PSSD start months/years after having stopped taking a SSRI? Or does it start immediately when the SSRI is stopped?

Thanks

The common use-case is experiencing side effects while taking the drug, usually stronger than without the drug, and it persists for many months after discontinuation.
Some report stronger side effects while trying to discontinue the drug.

I hope that's not your case.
Wellbutrin (2007 - 2018)
Wellbutrin + Sertraline (2015)

Yes. I didn't start noticing sexual dysfunction until 4-6 months after discontinuing SSRI's. I didn't have sexual dysfunction while on the meds either.
