Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction (PSSD) | Interview with Simon

[@Yiahi65]

PFS sufferer here. Let’s get rid of this terrible disease for us all once and for all

[@Vgeyshbsvshshbvvss]

How?

[@ajax700]

_Let’s get rid of this terrible disease for us all once and for all_ They make millions with psychiatry and all the drugs. It is going to be a extremely difficult battle. They have almost infinite billions to fight. They regularly spend billions in marketing and most people is, sadly, indoctrinated by the lies they say. Best wishes.

[@lisablount7578]

This is called an iatrogenic problem. Not a disease. This is a medically caused physical huge problem. This is such a nice person. Such a normal great guy. And this drug is pharmacological sexual assault on this great guy with his entire life ahead of him. What a courageous guy to help us beware of what can happen. To protect us. Thank you to him. A really great person to share this. For us.

[@andreasbergem3011]

Thank you Simon and Dr Josef for this interview. Living with PSSD is horrible, and we need more awareness.

[@bryngilwern5766]

[@TheMelissaWasHere]

Thank you to Simon for coming forward and Dr. Witt-Doerring for using his platform to raise awareness. We need as many eyes on this issue as possible.

[@ajax700]

These evil damaging drugs cause dry mouth when on the drug, very known adverse effect. It's on the drug leaflet. As you lose the protective effect saliva, cavities prosper a lot. And your teeth rot. Psychiatrists should know. Which is what you suppose when you deposit your trust on one of these health destroyers in a moment of need. At least you are showing a little humility and ask the victims. Best wishes.

[@user-sf3qr6jt9j]

I’ve given up hope. I had a terrible reaction to fluoxetine and am left with sexual dysfunction (erectile dysfunction, genital numbness,pleasureless orgasms) and anhedonia. I initially had akathisia but thankfully that passed and went away. I don’t think I’ll ever have my sexual functioning back or the ability to feel pleasure from things I used to anymore.

[@ajax700]

The amount of damage psychiatry and bad psychologists (psychiatry usual accomplice in crime) did to my life is beyond measuring. And beyond believing. I have many more new trauma instead of solving or finding relief from previous trauma. Think Christopher Walken on The deer hunter. The so called mental health professionals leave a trail of empty shells of persons instead of helping. We live in health / medicine stone age and mental health is even worse. Best wishes.

[@martinez4560]

How long have you had this injury from meds?

[@user-sf3qr6jt9j]

@@martinez4560 I don’t really think it’s an injury but a year and a half.

[@L37777]

Big thanks to you Simon for your testimony and thanks Witt-Doerring Psychiatry to makes theses interviews

[@Cheesygarlicccc]

Just checking in to give this a like and a comment in hopes that the KZbin algorithms move these videos up

[@nicolelambic]

Yes! The driving in silence!! I've experienced this in polypharmacy withdrawal myself.

[@fleshedexperience]

This is so refreshing to hear. Thanks for doing these interviews. We all deserve informed consent.

[@niksy4]

Thanks on this videos but unfortunately no solutions for treatment this condition 😢

[@Spiikew]

Thanks doctor!

[@colleenc4621]

Thank you. I would like to address this very issue with my significant other and right now I’m just trying to figure out how to introduce this topic. This is so helpful. Thank you 😊

[@blueelisa17]

I was thinking about doing psychiatry residency and seeing all this videos I am not sure I want that anymore haha

[@Kalley_Kavia]

So many people get their lives ruined because of trusting psychiatry.

[@liamgordon4007]

Can any one tell me about the medications being researched or on the horizon Simon speaks of that are in the trail phase at present which may help?

[@garthqueen]

Never knew Keanu Reeves became a psychiatrist...

[@adamscaife6931]

Dr, have you heard of ppl treating with cyproheptadine. What do you think of this as a treatment?

[@ajax700]

Cyproheptadine messes with serotonin, it lowers serotonin. It has a giant adverse effect list. I would stay very far away from this drug. Why are you asking? Best wishes.

[@1MNUTZ]

Why would more pills help with something pills caused?

[@chocolat654]

Very interesting video. But I wish the interviewed persons had better cams and more important: headphones. 🙂

[@TodorokiShoto9891]

Having penetrating sex with genital numbness is the same as putting on a strap-on and having sex. In both cases you don't feel nothing, just a foreign object down there doing some motions.

[@mo87m]

Can someone please tell me the link between pssd and emotional blunting. What has sexual dysfunction have anything to do with emotions?

[@Snowflake1374]

I have both, off SSRI after long term use. Dont know. Have something to do with blunting.

[@גלשונק]

What about fasting for 30 days

[@simonwright6163]

And dying a slow and painful death?

[@גלשונק]

@@simonwright6163 you can fasy for 40 days

[@simonwright6163]

@@גלשונק Why don't you try 50 days and let me know how you get on

[@גלשונק]

@@simonwright6163 dam dude you are one sarastic negtive person, good luck with that

[@ajax700]

Nobody tried 30 days fasting that I know. Who knows if it helps. Most desperate damaged by drugs communities members try a lot of drugs and/or diet supplements. Many of them have little effect on some, and cause worsening of symptoms on others. Why do you think 30 days fasting would help? Best wishes.

[@masudahmed6029]

Allopregnanolone. The neurosteroids are missing

[@faranume3021]

Do you believe Allopregnanolone could be the cure? Roberto Melcangi has suggested this as a cure but can it reverse genital numbness , anhedonia and all aspects?

[@ydrogba]

These goddamn drugs the doctor gave me as if they were prescribing candy, fuck the sertraline, it ruined my life.

[@belovedintexas9213]

Has anyone tried dietary changes ? Keto or carnivore - fat is so good for baby brains and b vitamins for nerves.

[@HomoSapien-z5q]

Maybe I'm just very tolerant but I've never gotten withdrawal, needed to taper or had any of these scary side effects having taken 5 different anti depressants over 6 years

[@Dabne5587]

Long term use of these drugs causes disasters

[@HomoSapien-z5q]

@@Dabne5587 Not for everyone. I take my prescribed amphetamine and it's fine, it depends on the person and situation
