Re: Investigation into potential treatments for improvement (2017)
PSSD after 9 days on cipralex 10mg (escitalopram), July 2013.
Had sexual sides from the first dose. Developed full pssd after i stopped.
Slowly improved to 70% of normal within 3.5 years.
"Crashed" again on April 2017.
Severe pssd again.

For peoplethat have seen improvements, does this include emotional as well or strictly sexual? My biggest gripe with pssd is being an emotional zombie.Jones wrote:Absolutely sir.

I never faced any issues of anhedonia-zombiness.. just pure pssd. However, judging from various reports, anhedonia is usually the first symptom to subside and far more easy to treat than pssd.Juvo wrote:For peoplethat have seen improvements, does this include emotional as well or strictly sexual?

Re: Investigation into potential treatments for improvement (2017)
I'm kinda sold on the idea that this is an epigenetic change. Hence it being so hard to reverse. BUT...I still think there is a change in neuro steroids as a result: seemingly estrogen and possibly DHT.
So I plan on trying estrogen soon which is kinda scary but we've been too stagnant for too long here and somebody besides lost_soul needs to try it. DHT is a little scarier. I might wait for that one.
If those two don't work, I plan on trying shit tons of stuff that effects epigenetics. Like high doses of curcumin and ECGC. Or anything else that does the same job.

Don't be scared of DHT. Like I said, get some reduced DHEA (IML r-andro) which converts straight to DHT.Glitch wrote:I'm kinda sold on the idea that this is an epigenetic change.

If our HPTA is screwed up and as a result FSH and LH is under signaled, it's quite likely we don't have enough estrogen available.
Re: Investigation into potential treatments for improvement (2017)
And yeah I agree about the forum being stagnant. I kind of don't like theories for this reason. People subscribe to them like the gospel and in doing so either think nothing will work, or neglect to try something because it doesn't hit receptor X or receptor Y. People, these are just theories. No one knows what's going on. Do yourself a favor and try something anything if you have a hunch. The forum will benefit.Juvo wrote:Don't be scared of DHT.

Kudos for jumping on board and trying this.
Re: Investigation into potential treatments for improvement (2017)
Juvo, so you're saying that you think that it's just estrogen in the brain that's not as bio available? It sure seems that way, doesn't it? I've had my estrogen tested but I don't think a standard test is worth anything. This situation is pretty unique.
The only issue with the estrogen theory is that increasing estrogen in your whole body to increase it in your brain is a fucking mess of a situation. Hopefully, if I take estrogen for some time(and potentially DHT) everything will sort of reset itself. It's a shot in the dark but it's all I've got right now. I'm 31 and ain't getting any younger.
Today I was thinking about it - If I could flip a coin with one side having a 100% chance of killing me and the other giving a 50% chance of healing all that ails me, I would take the coin flip in an instant and it's not even a great statistic. It's not worth living when you're not enjoying it.
