A few usual ssri victim questions..

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I read the messages rather regularly but there are many various

topics and my command of English is not that good(I'm a Pole) so I

think that I might have missed sth important.

I know that still no cure has been found but what are the most

promising tips to cope with all this?

I took lots of supplements (Mg, Zn, proteins, fish oils) it was even

before I found out this site and the real reason for my symptoms. Zinc

gave me some noticable libido boost after few days of taking but just

for a day or so. Also had a chance to take nootropil and it was

similar to Zinc, also some short boost but then nothing. There were

some topics about particular amino acids or herbs, could someone

summarize substances

that were somehow promising with some people?

Also I have to ask although I almost know the answers:

Are any researchers looking into it? I have read the Csoka's case

study but is there some follow-up?

Has anybody got fully cured over time?

And the last one, do You consider founding some more social group for

this? I mean to get to know each other exchange experiences talk about

life in general and other stuff maybe we would then notice some

patterns some similiarities between us. I have good friends and family

but they are not able to understand things like depression and pssd.

Regards,

Dominik

Many people recover from PSSD, even after years of it. So keep your

hopes up,

Kavy,

I am sorry about your PSSD.

In response to your quesiton about other research,

I found two PSSD related articles in a recent search:

> Persistence of Sexual Dysfunction Side Effects after

Discontinuation of

> Antidepressant Medications: Emerging Evidence

> pp.42-50 (9) Author: Audrey S. Bahrick

> doi: 10.2174/1874350100801010042

> Also an article in The Journal of Contemporary Psychotherapy

called " Sexual Side Effects of Antidepressant Medications: An

Informed Consent Accountability Gap. This article gives more than a

passing mention of PSSD.

Thanks, I kinda got used to a thought that it could be permanent and it is bearable after all, I don't have depression anymore and I don't take any drugs and life turns out not to be that bad, although of course I miss my earlier more usual way of living.

In other post I think Kavy wrote about his ex-girlfriend trouble with having children and there were some other messages about it but could someone also summarize it for me? I'm single and rather not going to reproduce in the future, but I would like to know what is my position. Is it always dangerous for pssd people to have children? Has someone here managed to have healthy kids?
