SSRI injured. Living with neurological damage from an adverse reaction to Citalopram.

[Arvid @void_prison]

Before SSRIs:
Not a single health problem

After SSRIs:
Tinnitus
Neuropathy
Visual snow
Emotional blunting
Cognitive impairment
Prediabetes
Weight gain
Incontinence
Erectile dysfunction

All of this and more when i was only 20 years old.

Needless to say, SSRIs ruined my life.

Antidepressants cause PSSD, and people with PSSD are more suicidal than people with depression. So where is the cure for PSSD? #zoloft #ssris

@Sheldone @Louthewarrior @BlackshepSusan They never said that. It was a personal anecdote.

[Arvid @void_prison]

@Sheldone @Louthewarrior @BlackshepSusan Do you not understand how side effects work at all? Do you think every listed side effect happens to every person who takes it lol?

[ThePOTSPostman @ThePOTSPostman]

It's actually pretty crazy what people with chronic illnesses eventually learn to live with.

Symptoms that would send someone else straight to the ER become things we barely mention anymore.

We just get so used to feeling terrible all the time that it becomes our normal.

Following Bobby Lee on today's @AskDrDrew:

Vanderbilt senior Lauren Friedman says an antidepressant left her with Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction (PSSD), a condition UK regulators now warn about while the FDA has not.

Americans for Ibogaine CEO Bryan Hubbard @w_bryan_hubbard speaks on Texas's $50 million ibogaine trials, and what Stanford's research on veterans with traumatic brain injuries shows about the psychedelic.

@eyebaws1 Thank you

[Arvid @void_prison]

@eyebaws1 Genital numbness is one symptom we bring up a lot because it can't be blamed on depression or whatever. The damage is a lot more widespread than that. My skin is burning all over my body. I can't think, can't feel normal human emotions. I feel like a lobotomozed castrated zombie.

[Arvid @void_prison]

@eyebaws1 Why make a post if you don't want engagement? Who said anything about genitals?

[Arvid @void_prison]

@evilfeudallord @kinabalu123 @author_hs31181 Typically cognitive impairment, severe emotional blunting and anhedonia and also genital numbness and other sexual problems

[Arvid @void_prison]

@evilfeudallord Few days after the last dose.

[Arvid @void_prison]

When will they stop this garbage gaslighting narrative? Just say you have no idea what the drugs did to our brains. None of those bullshit explanations can explain why PSSD patients can rub chili powder on their genitals and not feel a thing.

[Psychiatrist.com @PsychiatristCNS]

Not every physical symptom after stopping an antidepressant means the drug is still in play — and treating it that way can mean missing what's actually going on. An ASCP Corner commentary in JCP draws a sharp line: acute discontinuation symptoms (dizziness, nausea, vertigo — the "FINISH" cluster) are real, physiological, and well-established, typically resolving within 1–2 weeks. But symptoms that are delayed, protracted, or unusual often don't fit that pharmacodynamic picture — no known mechanism explains physical symptoms arising long after a drug has been fully eliminated. The authors point to non-pharmacodynamic contributors worth considering instead: residual baseline symptoms (up to 80% of "responders" still have some), nocebo effects (~17% of patients on placebo report discontinuation-like symptoms), somatic symptom disorder, and trauma-related symptom vigilance.
Takeaway: validate the patient's distress regardless of cause. For delayed or atypical symptoms, screen for relapse of the original condition and for somatic symptom disorder, rather than defaulting to either "it's still withdrawal" or "it's just psychological."

@evilfeudallord @kinabalu123 @author_hs31181 What are your symptoms? Same as PSSD? I think there are many drugs that can cause this.

[Arvid @void_prison]

@evilfeudallord @kinabalu123 @author_hs31181 The truth is that very few people fully heal from it. Depends how severe the damage is in each case. Some people recover partially. In my opinion we probably have chronic neuroinflammation that prevents the body from healing.

[Arvid @void_prison]

@kinabalu123 @author_hs31181 The poison has already left our bodies years ago. The problem is the lasting damage that it caused to our nervous system.

[Arvid @void_prison]

@grok @t_rkish @superpower When will it hit the market if all goes well? How much would it likely cost?

[Arvid @void_prison]

@masami777777 @BB_ninja_ghost They do feel pain. All animals do. They all suffer. So don't cut off its legs while still alive. It hurts a lot.

[Arvid @void_prison]

@FinnIsBack @orchifae They blunt your emotions and cause sexual dysfunction. It can also last permanently in some people.

[Arvid @void_prison]

@Etanarachel @treasonoustris Yes, that's precisely right. Looking at a naked attractive woman is no different from looking at a tree.

[Arvid @void_prison]

@BlackshepSusan @cwestonclark @markhoro @awaisaftab That's what i think as well. Suddenly they will all be very aware of persistent sexual side effects and seen it in quite a few of their patients.
