Hello.
I’m from south korea 26 years old man.
I had PFS since 2018 january from now on.
2018 september, My suicidal thoughts and depression is very very high, so i took vortioxetine(AD) about 7months and got a good results.
2018 november, i got hair transplants to make hairline and make density in my front head.
And then got a scalp tattoo on my head.
Hair transplants is just for scalp tattoo.
But after 7months, my head sensation(recipient are) is not perpect(normal is 100% but that area feels 70%).
Very disaapointed from that situation, So i took
AD once again. But after 1 pill, i got tinnitus.

Now my mind is get more and more depression and anxiety.
And i have many problems…
PFS + sensation down in my recipient area + tinnitus.
I know the science is devloping very rapid speed of light. Genetic part, stem cell part etc…

In this time… Acceptance is very good choice.
I know. But very hard time living with these condition.
Everyday i wish and dreaming about future.
Old, but very healthy with happy mind and body.
But that situation is far from now.
But i have to survive from these disaster.
I want to live my life, i love my family, i love my friends.
My depression return to my mind because of head sensation down.

Sorry to make scatterous story.
Anyone can give me adivce on this situation
And other AD to treat my mind?

I know AD is very dangerous for PFS, but 9months ago, it really helped me with my sucidal thoughts and depression.
Ah, i will participate survey now.
Thank you to listen my story.

It sounds like your depression is very debilitating. Maybe Wellbutrin might work for you? Other members try it here and some have libido improvement. It isn’t an SSRI.

Wellbutrin? Okay i’ll consider it later.
But Now, i want to beat these hard time with on my own. AD(vortioxetine) is very helpful but i’m a little worried about using another AD again.
But thank you!

I see. Besides ADs, my first recommendations would be to meditate, workout, watch your calories, and cook your own food. Easier said than done when depressed and fighting PFS, but if you nibble at these slowly, perhaps your symptoms and mood may improve.

Keep pushing!

Try cold showers in the morning and meditate twice a day for 20 mins, also do positive affirmations in the morning. You will improve with this.

I know people who got much, much worse with wellbutrin. Just want to warn people about this. It doesn’t have to be an SSRI to cause damage.

Thank you everyone.
My tinnitus more better today! Or delude myself?
I don’t know exactly.
I think AD drug remains as 35% in my body
considering half life.
But i can endure tinnitus with my own.
And don’t want to take AD.
In the future we can be a normal person?
Far from now… But i want to believe power of science.

I think so. I’ve had a few days where I’ve been back to normal.
