Hello to all 
I have registered in this forum because I have been suffering from severe PSSD for over 5 months now. My psychiatrist at the time prescribed me the antidepressant Deanxit in the fall of 2016, which consists of a tricyclic antidepressant and a neuroleptic. This against my generalized anxiety disorder.
Already at the beginning of taking it I noticed that the antidepressant brought me about 20% less performance in the sexual area. I had never had any sexual problems before. However, at that time I could live with it. The drug also dampened my emotional perception. But I could also live with that at that time because the effect against my anxiety disorder was very good.
However, the longer I took the medication, the more these side effects bothered me. I was able to reduce the medication considerably, but my anxiety disorder came back. In the summer of 2019 I was so desperate that my anxiety disorder did not improve, that I unfortunately started taking St. John’s wort along with my antidepressants. As a result, I had a large surplus of my antidepressant for about five days, because the St. John’s Wort prevented the breakdown of it.
Fortunately I recovered well from this incident at first. But a few months later, in early November 2019, it suddenly felt like a switch had flipped. I developed the same symptoms that I had when I had an excess of medication in the summer. At first I still had a few days and hours when I felt better. Since the beginning of this year these have completely disappeared. These are the following symptoms:
- Massive anhedonia / numbed emotions
- 100% anxiety-free (to the extent that it is no longer comfortable)
- The CNS seems to be completely inactive. I no longer feel any excitement.
- Sexually, I have all the symptoms. On most days I would describe myself as 100% impotent. On some days I manage to get an erection and orgasm, but these moments are more like an ordeal than a joyful act.
So far I have not tried any treatment options because I am aware how dangerous some attempts can be for us. However, I will probably start doing so soon, because my condition has been so bad for a long time now.
I am looking forward to reading from you and will possibly use this thread to provide updates on my situation. It always depends a bit on whether I can motivate myself to deliver updates, especially since nothing has changed in my condition for quite some time.
Best wishes and get well soon to all

PS: I still have to take 30% of a tablet of Deanxit because I can’t tolerate further reductions very well. All the symptoms listed here get worse when I try to reduce the tablet. Since my medication is a tricyclic antidepressant (+ neuroleptics) and I am still taking a fraction of my medication, it may not be possible to speak of PSSD to be precise. Nevertheless I am sure that what I am experiencing here is PSSD.
