I feel you on the emotional blunting, it's also rough... But can't be sad? Now that's interesting. I'm often taken over by frustration and sadness when i think about my pssd.

Yes nothing can makes me sad in real life only if I dream sad scenario it sometimes makes me sad, Dream effects more than reality I'm sure of it

I wasn't know anything about PSSD first, I was thinking I have a Urological problems because I wasn't use pills for 2 years and I never feel depressed. When I search for Emotional Blunting (Because it was showing all of my symptoms) I found PSSD and I'm here

Hey guys,

I'm new here and hope, anyone can help me because I'm not sure whether I have PSSD or not. I also want to say, I'm aware that PSSD is a terrible condition and if I have it I think I'm not a severe case so I don't want to disrespect anyone who has bad PSSD. Keep in mind, my knowledge of this topic is also limited, thats why I ask for help here.

So I took many SSRIs in the last 10 years but only single pills because I did not tolerate them at all. Sexual dysfunction happened while on them, but went away immediately after stopping. Why did I try them? Because doctors experimented with several medications, because of my OCD and Depression. I took Luvox for 2 days years ago and nothing happened. I have tried it again 1 year ago (I switched psychiatrist and he wanted me to take it) and I took it for 5 days (25mg). While I took the Luvox I found out about PSSD and I totally freaked out and immediately stopped taking them.

Now my story begins: after stopping them I could not think about other stuff than PSSD and I felt like my dick was more numb. I also noticed I feel less joy and pleasure. But here's the thing I have OCD and my mind is so powerful, it can create real physical symptoms for me and I'm not sure if it is real PSSD or just my OCD and Depression which got worse. Since the Luvox my mental health got worse. This year I had phases were I felt really good and I felt joy and pleasure again but right now I feel like I have PSSD again because I'm depressed and I don't feel joy from masturbation, libido is also lower.

So to sum it up, my symptoms right now are: low libido, can't get that "rush" from masturbation anymore and sometimes I feel like my dick is a bit numb.

What is important is that I also have phases were it's basically gone, where I'm really horny and I masturbate 4 times a day. Thats when I feel good mentally. I'm still watching porn daily and jerking off daily. Even when I stopped the Luvox I could always get an erection while masturbating and orgasm, to this day. When I take any kind of drug, mostly alcohol and cannabis basically all the symptoms go away and I'm very horny. There is a clear Connection between my symptoms and THINKING I have PSSD/ knowing that it exists. Because before I knew it I took all kinds of SSRI and nothing happened.

Do you think this is PSSD or rather a mental problem? Thanks im advance guys!
