Guest guest Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 To review my story very briefly, I was put on over 20 different psychiatric medications for the span of almost a decade and was given many different psychiatric labels. I experienced PSSD from Prozac and it got worse with the addition of more psychiatric medications. I have verified brain damage from the psychiatric medications from a SPECT scan done approximately 6 months ago. I have been off of all psychiatric medications for approximately one year and it is clear to me now that psychiatric drugs are responsible for causing the majority of the mental illness in the world. I have made some significant overall progress with sleep, emotions etc. I have made some decent recovery in terms of PSSD. The main issues are still lack of libido, lack of arousal via visual stimuli and only able to get 90% erection. I attribute the minor recovery to an immersion in a variety of social activities that have broken me out of my comfort zone, eating better, exercising, as well as stopping dwelling on the fact that I have things wrong with me because of psychiatric drugs. I have a long way for recovery and I may never recover fully but things are much better than they are this year than last year so I have to be thankful for that. I have not really been reading posts. Has anyone else had any full or significant recovery? Has there been any new research done for PSSD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Zant, that's great news. Considering how long you were on different drugs and that you've only been off them for a year, I think that's pretty amazing. Congratulations. So you think the social environment might be restting you brain? Similar to biologic's " social dominance " theory?

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 I think the only way to truly recover is to follow the documents from the Withdrawal and Recovery group has. I remember saying that lots of protein is needed to heal the brain. Also try to immerse yourself in all sorts of different activities that you have never done before. They don't all have to be social activities but many should be. Also, I think you really need to find someone who cares about you, understands your problem but is willing to stay in a relationship with you for a long period of time. I unfortunately do not have the last thing yet but will work on that this summer. > > > > To review my story very briefly, I was put on over 20 different > > psychiatric medications for the span of almost a decade and was > given > > many different psychiatric labels.
