I had a brief period on SSRIs and I would take the bat shit alternative every day. Each to their own of course.

[Teddy - PolyBackTest.com @Bitcoin_Teddy]

“I’m 23 years old… and my clitoris is completely numb, like the back of my elbow. I can’t orgasm. I can’t feel love for my own mother. I can’t even enjoy music anymore.”

That was Laureen Friedman’s raw testimony at a recent Safety Advocates on Mental Health Care panel.

She lives with PSSD — Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction. After taking Zoloft, she woke up one day with total genital numbness, zero libido, permanent inability to orgasm, and a sudden emotional numbness she describes as “chemical castration” and an “emotional lobotomy.” What used to be a deeply emotional, empathetic, songwriting young woman now feels disconnected from the core human experiences of love and pleasure.

She says she was never warned this could happen even after stopping the drug.

Millions are prescribed SSRIs every year, often without being told about rare but potentially permanent side effects like PSSD. People deserve full informed consent about what they’re risking.

Have you or anyone you know experienced lasting sexual or emotional side effects from antidepressants?

I expect BBC bosses changed the BBC Radio 2 news jingle just to stop @LizaTarbuckUK from going off piste😂 #smarttrousers

Couldn't have said it better myself. My Saturday nights will never be the same! And I'm not even a nurse!

@MartinSLewis @PrivateEyeNews I remember working at local paper in the summer holidays as a teenager in the late 80s/early 90s and two common phrases were "don't let the facts get in the way of a good story" and "make bull**** believable"

@MartinSLewis Groupon offers where you think you're getting X but in the end you get spivved to purchase Y and Z as well because X turns out to be pointless and you are over a barrel at that point especially if you travelled to use the service etc.

why is Radio 4 speeding up clips?

[Nicky Tate @NickyTateWrites]

@Mike_Batt @londonsymphony I found it very moving even though it's just a snippet. The project is a good one, in every sense: its intention and your drive and the skill and the results emerging. Chin up!
