“Symptoms: low/zero libido, blank mind, massive depression, anhedonia, anxiety, general low dopaminergic activity, constant feeling of inflammation Decided to try a gluten free diet not too long ago. The first two weeks were very rough in terms of depression but after that, I experienced 30-40% improvement in my symptoms. This lasted for close to a month but now currently I have reverted and almost feel worse off than before. Has anyone experienced this?”
Cause
r/PSSD first-person OP u/onfolk (post 1vqbev3): PSSD (subreddit; causative drug not named in this post). Clear BOTH blank mind + numb/anhedonia/no emotions. Unused; logged via blankedonia_db live hunt 2026-09-13.

Recovery notes
Temporary window only. Gluten-free diet: first 2 weeks worse depression, then 30-40% improvement for close to a month, then reverted and almost worse than before. OP comment 2026-08-20: gluten-free helped sexual symptoms (sensitivity not the issue; libido mostly low/zero). Not a lasting recovery of blank mind or anhedonia.
