Brain Fog From Just 1 Pill

all the progress i’ve made the past year or 2 has just completely vanished. All of my old symptoms are back but even worse. It’s a full on second crash from Lexapro and Buspar. The digestion stuff improved with time and wasn’t as much of a concern as I thought it was. Man I have just fucked myself completely again and am destroyed by this. I’m going on 4 years and have lost so much critical time. I haven’t had a relationship in idk how long and I just feel so fucking alone. I keep looking at guns online and ideas about where to buy pure fentanyl just to have incase I give up completely one night. To think that I was on the way to recovering and noticed tangible changes in my body, and for it just to be sucked away like that. I never even did anything wrong man. I’m not a shitty person and havent made shitty choices and ive just had my life crushed and taken from me. It breaks my heart so much and I can’t believe i’m back to square one with this.

I’m going to give it 2-3 months and if nothing improves, i’ll try HCG or R andro.

All the things written on here about SSRIs making you worse is true. Stay away from any of those kinds of medications.

Visit a doctor of psychiatry is nothing else as visiting the last crack house dealer. They only have their dirty drugs to sell. Only sometimes they prescribe a therapy. The therapy in a ward is nothing than throating pills like a polytoxicomaniem in most cases too. That what we need someone to cure our violated souls are very rare.

Penis is burning frequently, along with my hands and feet. I’m freezing cold all of the time again, and my skin is something out of a sci-fi movie, all over my body, including my scrotum and dick. Guys, I cannot emphasize enough to not touch SSRIs, buspar, or anything like that. It is unbelievable what Lexapro and Buspar has done and how much it has worsened me.

I’ve also developed total anhedonia - I’m not able to feel scared, excited, even anxious really. Mentally i’m completely flat, like some dull pressure or aching in my head. My muscles and skin have gotten worse, and I’m not able to fatigue my muscles really. I also am not getting very out of breath anymore. It is such a shitty and weird feeling.

Ten thousands of young men and I think thousands of elderly men have PFS. Therefore here is not much traffic on this platform. So mostly the typical suspicious answer to the posts. Hope you enjoy the solidarity.

Yes it was a big mistake to take the Lexapro after a girl blamed you. I reacted in the same way, emotional triggered doing the Finasteride shit. So shit we have a package with a dangerous poison there never taking it at normal state and than triggered by someone worth to think about and we and many others, taking poison in an emotional reaction. What a shit!

thank you

your cortisol seemed high in a test which was unremarked upon. Stress reduction might help, easier said than done I know.

There was a user basementdweller you may know with similar sides who said he got better via trt and hcg and a couple of other things.

How are you these days Damon?

I just had another full lab panel this morning. Waiting on results.

#202

I made the labor panels last year entirely.One doctor privat sent me a bill over 2300 €, the other payed the health insurance. One wanted to give me high Vit B Glutathione Infusions and hcg, the other high Vit D and later Testogel.

this crash is really, really bad. I’m losing weight rapidly and it hurts my achilles tendon on my left leg to even walk. My legs are so small. It’s made every single one of my symptoms worse. I cannot stay awake, I’m late to every one of my classes, I can’t feel the effects of exercise, or anything else really. I’ve totally fucked myself up.

Hi guys.

I hope you are all doing well. Without boring you with details, I made a giant mistake of taking lexapro for 4 days (after 3.5 years of PFS). It crashed me very hard, with worsening of physical PFS issues, and new PSSD issues. I now have shrunken, numb rubbery genitals and complete anhedonia. I cannot feel anything at all but occasional sadness and impending doom. It was such a massive mistake to take the SSRI. I remember reading that they can cause seemingly permanent worsenings in PFS patients. I should’ve listened. Is there anything that I can do here? I’ve tagged you here because I wasn’t able to send a group message.

Sorry to hear that you are not doing well @Dknighten.

SSRIs cause what appears to be a similar if not identical syndrome in patients. So, unfortunately, it is common to get worse on them as a PFS patient. As with PFS there is no treatment or way to limit the damage apart from staying away from this drug and similar substances. You will have to ride the wave and hope for the best. As you know, often people improve in time.

Good luck and keep us updated!

There has to be something I can try. Are there any reports of PFS cases getting worse from an SSRI but returning back to their previous baseline?

#207

Our condition is not currently treatable. People have been trying supplements, herbs and protocols for decades to no avail. Often times trying different things makes people much worse, as you have yourself experienced upon taking lexapro.

We have to accept that currently there isn’t a fix for this and move towards a scientific understanding and targeted treatment. It’s not what you want to hear but it’s the truth. The sooner we all accept this the sooner we get out of this.

Not sure if you realize what this exactly means and how long it’s going to take. If you sit back and wait for this targeted treatment to come out, you’re going to waste your life. It will likely be the better part of a decade, or even more, before anything at all is tangible to treat PFS symptoms.
