“Symptoms: no libido at all, no anxiety at all, very low motivation, apathy, low energy, no appetite, no thirst, blunted emotions/anhedonia, insomnia (4h wake up) ; … Brain 4/10 (my inner fast thoughts are almost gone/state of blankness)”
Cause
Escitalopram ~6 months for trichotillomania; OP self-labels PSSD/PFS. Later many self-experiments (bupropion, rTMS, hormones, stacks). Live page Cloudflare-walled this pass; quote/cause from search-index OP excerpts.
Duration
On escitalopram 6 months then persistent blankness + blunted emotions/anhedonia cluster; later partial gains over experiment windows. Exact total years not pinned from available snippets.
Recovery notes
Not full recovery in available excerpts. Bupropion gains faded; rTMS helped anhedonia/pleasure somewhat. Later intake period described as almost complete success / semi-functional but libido and 'ego' desire not recovered. Full thread not re-fetched (CAPTCHA).
