It’s been a while since I’ve posted here but I feel like everyone who is prone to PFS should hear this.
About 2 years ago I posted here about possible PFS and my subsequent recovery.
Everything was once again fine and I had a good life.
Cue to 8 months ago when I took a single dose of fluoxetine and it completely killing my sex drive 3 weeks later.
For those following months I became completely asexual, it’s not even close to what I experienced what I had after taking finasteride (also a one time thing). A complete lack of any shred of sexuality.
The good news is it came back in full force after 8 months. Like the flip of switch. One day I was just there again.
I don’t think I’ve ever had full PFS. Just that I was extremely sensitive to the drug. I’ve recovered from that and I’ve recovered from this.
Both finasteride and an SSRI (fluoxetine) crippled me for several weeks/months and I’d urge anyone experiencing PFS to stay the hell away from any SSRI.
I do not know what they have in common but I do know both drugs gave me similar side effects. Please stay away from them.
