“Main symptoms: … * Anhedonia … * Blank mind (Partially present before pssd) * No real response to positive emotions or excitement for activities (partly present before) * Blunted negative emotions … Substances and drugs barely have any noticeable effects anymore. They don't produce euphoria.”
Cause
r/PSSD first-person OP u/Lazy-Pen8198 (post 1qtxfoo): cannabis then several SSRIs/SNRIs for anxiety ~9–10y ago → lasting blank mind + anhedonia + blunted positive/negative emotions (unsure PSSD vs DPDR vs nervous-system shutdown). Unused cannabis/SSRI BOTH path (≠ davidzbonjour 302 Paxil/Kambo; ≠ 272 duloxetine cluster). Non-Invega.
Duration
~9–10 years at Feb 2026 posting (onset after cannabis + SSRI/SNRI period ~9–10y prior)
Recovery notes
Music enjoyment fluctuates ~40–80%; exercise slightly reduces anhedonia. Substances produce little euphoria. Still lost seeking regulation; core blank+blunting not recovered.
