Life destroyed by antidepressants - please help me

Hi guys, I'm a member of 7 years here. I've been inactive quite a while here, something very tragic happened to me over 1.5 years ago.

After work related stress and insomnia I got prescribed Trazodone and later Venlafaxine, an antidepressant to help me sleep better. After a few pills I had an adverse reaction and was left mentally disabled with permanent sexual dysfunction and chronic fatigue. This is called PSSD (Post-SSRI-Sexual-Dysfunction). Althought his is quite rare, it happens. No doctor could ever help me, they mostly do not know about it or deny this could happen, and research or a cure is years (if not decades) away.

I am left with chronic anhedonia, unable to enjoy anything, I can barely watch TV, not engage in conversations, my mind and thoughts are blocked. Before this I was working as a software developer and had a side business and it completely destroyed my life. I tried many many therapies and supplements and nothing ever gave me relief.

Something very similiar happens in the Post-Finasteride-Syndrome, caused by the hair loss pill Finasteride, many suicides were caused by this condition.

Since this happened to me I've been using my left over brain power to think about ways to potentially gain more visibility for these issues. I thought I have been doing alot of SEO in the past, and remembered my account on BHW.

Im my opinion this is a crime against humanity, doctors destroy lifes with their prescriptions, and pharmaceutical companies are very aware of these side effects yet do not warn about it on the label of their drugs.

Please, if you have any idea how you can help me (SEO, strategies, viral strategies, etc).. let me know.

I thought I could SEO the rxisk.org site, which is fighting for awareness, there is even a $100k price for whoever finds the cure for this life disabling condition. It is currently ranking on page 2 and page 4 for keywords like "antidepressant side effects", "antidepressant sexual dysfunction".

There is also youtube videos like this, that need FAR MORE attention, please let me know if you have any idea how I can spread this on the internet.

I used GSA SER in the past, I thought about doing a generic comment blast about PSSD / PFS across the internet, im not sure how effective that would be though.

If you can help me in any way, please let me know.. I'm in complete hell for 1.5 years already, I am 23 years old and my future was destroyed, im left as an asexual castrated zombie, justice needs to be served..
You have symptoms similar to Mental block, this is a very difficult psychological state, you need to overcome this state of mind, you may need shock stress, you have problems communicating with people you need to try to enroll in acting courses, it may help you overcome depression

Thanks, this is no mental block though, this is a neurological block. Neurochemistry went wrong as a consequence of SSRI intake. Sad but true. You can not meditate yourself out of this state.
 
Thank you, I am in a safe spot, however I've been trying to fix this shit for over a year now and every day is just more hopelessness. I want to rank the rxisk page which is run by an actual Psychiatrists.



Good idea that you didn't go to a doctor. In my case the doctor killed me, after I got prescribed this shit after 5mins, and was so naive to take it. Therapy would have been right for my issues.
When there is a will there is a way, right?
 
I looked up this rxisk site, amazing.

It's very sad how most doctors DGAF about the consequences.

I hope you will get better soon!
 
When there is a will there is a way, right?

Well, yes, but this is just something that could probably be not fixable. Also I am 23 now and got this shit when I was 21, I am losing my whole life because of some stupid fucking pills. I need to rank this rxisk.org page for every keyword relating to antidepressants to have any chance of getting real research done.
 
You should use natural supplements / or nootropics.

Sometimes when i get stress, i take l-theanine or Ashwagandha. Some people reported has stopped taking xanax and move to l-theanine(green tea base).
No more sluggish, brain fog, or crazy withdrawal.

Another supplement you can try is rhodiola rosea .
Spend a few days, doing research first before you start taking it.

Don’t forget todo excercise, quit soda drink, sugar. It mess up your hormones and making you more stress.
 
This is a real neuro-endocrine issue, its not psychological. Trust me.
Thank you, Anhedonia itself makes it hard to focus on anything, I even am weaker in gym etc. its 24/7 hell.



For many diseases there is no cure. Especially neurological ones..



Yeah, all of them, in fact I lost response to them. I ingested huge doses and got barely any reaction, seems like my neurons or 5ht2a receptors dont work somehow.



Yeah, doctors are misinformed mostly.



Yes, my problems aren't psychological now though. They were before, now I have a neuro-endocrine disaster.



Yeah, this is where the root of this problem lies probably. Just impossible to reverse. There was a study where many genes were hyper/hypomethylated from citalopram, how do you reverse hundreds of changed genes in different tissues in different regions of the body?



I agree, I fucked up by not changing anything and taking the stupid pills. I'm trying to raise awareness but its hard. Do you have any idea how I could accelerate this?



Thanks, this is something I actually want to try, I tried DMT itself, but Ayahuasca has does more than DMT, it also upregulates the serotonin transporter etc.. because of the MAOis in it.

You are very wrong mate, neuro - endocrine problems and all that also dealt with mind. Antidepressants just suppressed the problem and now you thinkk you are cured and have no mental probelms, but its not. If you didnt deal with the psycho issues experientially and didnt release the emotional charge, it will still affect you in all the ways, neuro endocrinally etc, to each cell of your body. Especially you say you dont feel your body and its numb - it is the indication of emotional blockages which also cause anhedonia (the energy flow in your body is compromised). There are numerous cases when people with such problems went through such therapies like body oriented threapy or holotropic breathing, and got rid of their problems which other doctors couldnt resolve.

in order to treat neurology, you need to understand the psychological state of a person, you need to get rid of depression and your body will recover
 
Sorry to hear this. Hope the responses here help you.

Dudes, you need to understand, yes it was previously psychological, back when it was only depression, but now the anti depressants have fuxked things up a whole lot more and things arent just psychological anymore. It's not just a matter of meditation anymore.

That may be hard to believe for y'all but it's true, not everything can be cured by taking a long, deep breath.

Why exactly meditation ? Anti depressants cant cure the root cause of mental problems, they dont cure anyting related to psycho so the problems remain, you cant just shut it down like that. He needs to feel back his body and reveal all the material which was supressed by adepressants.
 
you need stop antidepressant

i have a Friend like you

his doctor give him antidepressant xanax i think
now after five years he can not stop that medcin
 
Good info.Thank you

Try to accept yourself and live with what you are now

No one in this world is normal, you can change your perspective, if you are able to write this you are able to write anything, wich practically means you can achieveve whatever you want

Antidepressants are hell on world
 
I can't reply correctly I've had one hell of a day, the sun is out and I've drank far too much already..

OP someone mentioned earlier a 800kal diet. If you want to do something that extreme look up "rice diet" if you want I can find my old meal plans I used to follow that diet when fighting back in the day.

As for the sexual disfunction have you tried taking steroids - if you can't get them from the doctor just see if you can source locally not advocating anything but might help get your testosterone a small boost if that works then I would look at high protein and weights workout / diet plan try and get your system back to normal.

Either way I would start with a HARD detox and then look to build yourself back up with a decent gym and vitamin plan - just take it one day at a time.

I know you said everything has been tried but your still your 23 I think you said? I think you need to give your body a good flush almost like a reboot and build yourself back up.

I can't help further without giving you diet and workout plans. Good luck man

Exactly.. this is the problem. Thats why I need your help to rank rxisk.org with me.
 
You can google about chakras , the first 2 are responsible for physical energy and sexuality . If they are blocked , you feel exhausted whole day and have no interest in opposite gender . U just need to exercise so u believe it , in current state ur mind doesn't accept this .

man i had a monstrous neurosis, was taking Mianserin for 1 year
in short, ive improved my condition after 2 water fastings, 21 days and 12 days and raw vegan diet
that was a single way to improve something, pills was the way to nowhere
 
The guy doesn't want your help, he wants you to help him rank his site for free.

No, I know that nothing can help this except real research, do you think PFS sufferers have been trying nothing for 15-20 years? This needs real research, and for that it needs attention. Im just here to gather ideas on how I can bring these issues to the wide public, be that with ranking this site or not, im trying to find a solution for thousands of sufferes here, and I thought I could do something with my SEO knowledge.

Research is not everything.The majority of people won't execute real solutions which works if it's not by his doctor approved.I know what I'm talking about.
Also even the 800 kcal diet sounds so easy (please no rice diet but full vegetables diet so your body can clean) majority of people are unable to execute it for a period of 30 days.

5ht2a receptors dont work somehow
Sounds typically being poisened

Also an important note i know you are reading forum to find other peoples experience and i guess majority claims it can't be healed and to accept it.Reading something like that gets you depression and even suicide thinking to end the pain where you have no hope based on these comments.
I ve gone through it two times.
Once i had Tinnutus which was so loud i couldn't sleep at night and tried any crap they recommended like Chinese medicine,o2 injection etc .
All crap to get your money.They claimed if it won't go back after 3 months it will stay forever.I wasn't even able to hear TV properly.
The only 5 minutes a day where i had some silence was when waking up or taking morning shower.
However i did my own research tested a lot and the Tinnitus slowly removed itself.After 2 years the Tinnitus was gone.
Something what they claimed impossible.

Few years later i had neuropathy on both foots and fingers.Sleeping was a horror two because you always had the feeling like ants were moving over your feet.
I went to the doc to check and i had 320mg/l sugar in my blood.
I guess any diabetic can confirm this is a very bad stadium where you need to take tablets and insulin.
I refused taking any drugs knowing that it will only make it worse (Did anyone even read the info paper for tabelts to decrease sugar in blood ?)
Doc wanted me to kick out of his office for not taking these drugs.
I told him i will be back in 3 months and if it keeps so bad i will take them.

I started again big research on neuropathy reading that its caused by dead nerves which are irreparable.
I read all the horror stories of big pain and not being able to live a normal life anymore.
I paniced a bit since i have children and i want to support them as long as i can not just financially.
So i keeped digging and found out that the symptoms for alamgam poisoning are the same but that the nerves start working normally again once they got the amalgam out of their body.

Based on that info i asked myself how can it be that my nerves are permanent dead when the poisoning with amalgam proof they can work again.

Since i had diabtes2 (as successful webmaster you sit most of the time,have some overweight and drink a lot myself coca cola instead of coffee) i visited dabrowska in one of her very rare conference to make a healing plan for my diabetes 2 since i know her old vid from 1988 about healing diabetes 2 very long and also know she is not interested in profit but documentation.

At that conference she showed us the result of her 30 years long research based on her diet and also luckily explained what diabetes 2 neuropathy is and what is causing it and the solution to it.
It's basically also the diet you use for diabetis2 .

So a week after the conference i collected food suppliers with healthy food and started my 800 kcal diet for 40 days.
First 2-3 days were very hard because of your hunger but after that period you completely feel no hunger anymore.
Food not always taste best that's why you need to mix it much so you keep enjoying it .
After 3-4 weeks i had some bigger downs especially when smelling the food from the rest of the family.
After around 1 weeks sugar in blood went down from 280 to 100 and two weeks later it was moving between 80 and 150 .
After 40 days my sugar was always between 80 and 120 .
I took 1 week to get back to normal food and kept testing and sugar never went above 150 .

Back at doctors office he made a longterm test again and couldn't belive that my longterm sugar went down from 14 to under 6 with no medications.

Also forgot to say i lost a lot of weight.During that diet i lost daily on average 0.5kg from 121kg to 99kg.


Years later now i still don't take any medicine no insulin and eat like any normal human also coca cola and mc donalds knowing its garbage food and still have a good bloodsugar.


So don't listen to naysayers.
Your body is a great machine knowing and having self healing abilities.
All you need to do is trust your body and support it so it can start cleaning you from inside.
Your body knows best what needs to be done.

I really recommend researching dabrowska.She made so many great observations over the 30 years.
One of them is that she had a house near the woods and a garden with vegetables.
Animals were often coming from the woods and eating staff from her garden.
She noticed after some that animals were always eating the same vegetables were they left other untouched.
She made statistics and found out the most desired vegetable from animals is kale .

She made research on this kale why its being eaten so often from animals and found out that kale has the biggest inside healing abilities of all vegetables.
As you see animals are eating that vegetable to heal themself.

Keep fighting don't give up.
