Open original source ↗
The PSSD came on over a period of about a week where I suddently become extremely numb in all facets. It felt like my head was completely empty and I could not hold a rational thought in my head for more than a millisecond... an empty shell of who I once was.
Cause
PSSD onset over ~1 week (specific index drug not in fetched snippet); later tried TRT then Zoloft+nortriptyline+Rexulti for remission
Duration
tried staying off all meds up to 1 year (TRT at month 8); still not off-med recovered at last snippet
Recovery notes
Snippet-level (Cloudflare blocked full HTML). TRT/high-dose testosterone: no effect on numbness and anhedonia. Zoloft+nortriptyline helped depression/anxiety not executive function. Rexulti credited for attention/planning and restoring stimulant euphoria ~2 weeks in. Wants full recovery off meds; does not see how without more suffering. Treat as snippet-verified like case 17.
