What do you mean? Psychological thing worse your PSSD?

Yes. Obviously, thinking about PSSD increases anxiety thus sexual dysfunction.
I have a baseline with mild PSSD. When I don't feel well (anxiety, lack of sleep, etc.), I am way below my baseline.

I crashed from Vortioxetine before. I don't think it's a good idea as it would downregulate 5HT1A receptors too much. Are you off of all drugs now?

You might be interested in raising SERT and increasing 5HT1A autoreceptors' sensitivity. Cannabigerol (CBG) is a 5HT1A antagonist. Berberine and Evodiamine upregulate SERT, but Berberine has 5-alpha reductase inhibitory effect. Aside from these, there are research chemicals that work the same but more selectively.

In my opinion, it was the Trazodone inducing your symptoms, not the Bupropion, since SRI reinstatement benefited you a little.
What research chems would you recommend to antagonize 5ht1a and upregulate sert, and do you have a site you recommend?

Hi,

Berberine works on 5HT1a receptors right? After use this my erection is worst It's not full. It's chance to reverse this?

It will reverse. What about your response to ALCAR?

I didn't check it. I feel even worse emotionally. I'm afraid it's not going to get better.

I crashed from a 5ht1a agonist too and never recovered. What are your symptoms? Do you have any worsening cognitive symptoms?

Berberine is also 5a-inhibitor...
But I also think I crashed from Rodhiola Rosea and worsened. I was like 4 months after the beginning of PSSD so hard to say if it was the desease by itself or the Rodhiola...

I feel more tired and depressed. Erections are very weak after this.

@Impermanence, Rodhiola increase 5ht1a receptors. May can help for this.
