Cause: r/PSSD first-person OP u/EstablishmentFew5058 (post 1wgyuvo): 3 doses of escitalopram (Lexapro) in April 2021, followed by a month of 5-HTP. Since then anhedonia, blank mind, cognitive dysfunction, full-body numbness, emotional blunting; heavy alcohol use as a coping strategy plus ~5 antibiotic courses in the past year; worse over the last 4–5 months with new whole-body burning/tingling nerve pain.
Duration: ~5.5 years at posting (onset April 2021), progressively worse
Recovery notes: No recovery; describes a slow worsening (milder 2 years ago, could still enjoy things and feel alcohol). Asking about small fiber neuropathy / MCAS; later posts about a 'Dutch test'. Mentions suicidal planning the day before posting.
