Dr. James, PhD

I'm a research scientist at a well known university in Canada.

There is a serious problem in the modern world of science. If academia continues to accept the publication of financially motivated positive results and the suppression of negative results public safety is at incredible risk. We risk losing science as a credible institution.

@lololizzle @theisabelb @elonmusk My first reaction to seeing this wasn’t pity. It was genuine surprise.

It’s been 11 years since this happened to me. Hard to believe this is still going on. That academic science is aiding and abetting this human tragedy... and will continue to do so while it remains lucrative.

[Emily Grey @EmilyGreyPSSD]

God. Yet another one.

I try to block out thoughts of it to get by day to day but sometimes it hits me all over again.

It’s unfathomable that this is happening to people. That this happened to us.

Dr. Goldstein has previously been published on the topic of PSSD in the Journal of Urology (American Urological Association)

@Gil_Shortland For NHS in Britain i would imagine it is free. Here in Canada I am confident it is free as well, and will look into getting this done when I have the time.

@ThiefDreamer Saving the world one person at a time. An immeasurable amount of suffering prevented just like that. #PSSD

@FinasterideInfo Thanks for posting. Good paper!

[Dr. James, PhD @docJamesPhD]

@michaeljknowles Yes! #PSSD

Thank you for speaking up about this.

For the millions of us that have had our lives devastated and our sexual and reproductive health permanently impaired/ruined by SSRIs, we are truly grateful that you are bringing attention to this epidemic that no one speaks of.

[Michael Knowles @michaeljknowles]

Might our pandemic of sexual dysfunction have something to do with the strange phenomenon that 1 in 8 Americans regularly takes SSRI drugs, which can permanently disorder users' sexuality?

How is virtually no one talking about this? https://t.co/DVsRrZbWWp

@RCPsychScot I wonder what percentage of Scots value their sexual health?... which they will be giving up possibly for life (whether you tell them or not...) when you start cheerleading them onto SSRIs. #PSSD

[Dr. James, PhD @docJamesPhD]

@jordanbpeterson @TorontoStar @JustinTrudeau Fair point! The irony is overwhelming.

[Dr. James, PhD @docJamesPhD]

@lizctucker @PSSDSimon @DrDavidHealy Thanks Liz! Would mean a lot to us. Many people have been devastated by this.

[Dr. James, PhD @docJamesPhD]

@pssd_awareness @martyrmade It says a lot about the fall of our society when Fox News is the only mainstream American news outlet covering #PSSD and taking a critical look at exploding antidepressant use.

Made these to celebrate all you badasses with PSSD who got up this morning and went about your day. Legends

[Dr. James, PhD @docJamesPhD]

@lizctucker @DrDavidHealy I was prescribed Prozac for insomnia as well. I took it for 4 months 8 years ago and have had total sexual dysfunction (#PSSD ) and devastation to my reproductive health ever since.

#PSSD is a prison that follows you wherever you go.

[Dr. James, PhD @docJamesPhD]

@pssd_victim @PieAreSqwared Yes! Best depiction of #PSSD I've seen. That edit really hits home the point.

[Dr. James, PhD @docJamesPhD]

@pssd_victim @PieAreSqwared I disagree. It should only be black and white for the woman trapped in the box. Beautiful colour for everyone else.

[Dr. James, PhD @docJamesPhD]

@shvogt @MHRAgovuk @FDA_Drug_Info Yes, that's eerily similar to how it started for me 8 years ago. Almost no improvement in that time. I'm always left wondering what the implications are for risk of reproductive types of cancer. Nice to know that doctors simply don't care about us...
