Pharma has the laws, politicians, and congress on their pockets. This is not an accident, this was planned. In 2000 USA congressman Bart Stupak son was killed by isotretinoin (accutane) used for acne (it is a cancer chemotherapy drug!!!). He spoke on the congress about this. There are RUclips videos of him talking about it. Be damned the RUclips spam filter that deletes commentaries with web links so you can see what he said from the old official USA congress web site. What happened after this? Nothing. Pharma still reigns supreme, doing whatever they want, paying very small settlements when they do some damage and are caught. No one goes to jail. Pharma has all the drug health system links infiltrated with employees or funded: academia, control organizations like FDA or EMA, research, medics, DEA, law makers, supposedly prestigious medical magazines. Millions and billions of dollars against a community of persons damaged by drugs that very few believe in. Even many close to us don't believe us. Many lawmakers have received millions from pharma or are big shareholders of pharma. We live in a very corrupt world. I think it's very naive to think they can be easily lobbied or influenced. This is a very difficult war to win. Best wishes.
I know first hand how bad going without any sleep can be..... During my Benzodiazepine taper .... I went through many, many nights of zero sleep for almost 2.5 years. Days and days in a row with absolutely ZERO sleep only to be followed by a night with maybe 2 or 3 hours of terror filled toxic sleep and back to zero sleep. All the while wile suffering with all the other physical and mental effects caused by the drug. ...now at about 5 years later I am completely back to normal. I really don't know how I survived that period. BUT I DID!!! Praise God!
Thanks again for another PSSD interview, Andrew's story is very similar to mine: - 8 months on Sertraline - a persisting loss of libido - emotional blunting Thank you for bringing these stories to light.

Hi Dr Joseph. Greetings from New England (USA) Love your you tube posts.. I got Androgell transdermal Testerone Gell from my Gp Dr. Works Excellent My Erections are hard as they were At 17. Best wishes to you From New England USA (Connecticut). Trans dermal Testosterone by passes the first pass over the liver So no side effects Keep up your good work 👍⭐️⭐️🌈🇺🇸🏳️🌈💜✡️
So with most of the videos I have seen that you’ve done they’ve all had a good response to this anabiotic for the sibo and SSRI are well-known for destroying a lot of the gut Microbiome. It would be a very interesting and amazing video if you would interview Dr. Robert Morse on this. He knows a lot. Sibo is hard to get rid of and comes back. I first noticed a difference when I drank grapefruit seed extract everyday 3x a day with a very restricted low food map diet. GSE is a very strong antimicrobial. I’m currently doing an experiment on myself to see what happens. So far akathisia is gone because of it.
Mirtazapine gave me the best results but the full effect was only temporary. The first day I felt so relaxed and felt tingling down there. My theory is PSSD is related to the body's stress response.
serotonin receptors have been clogged by the SRI's. One might assume some of these meds are serotonin antagonists. In that line of thought one could assume that a serotonin agonist with a stronger affinity for the serotonin receptor might knock the receptor free. Also, assuming the receptors are clogged then that might caused elevated serotonin syndrome type side effects. I would be curious if MDMA therapy could provide relief.
As serotonin increases, the blood vessels narrow and the excess serotonin binds to dopaminergic receptors, which reduces dopamine and at the same time prevents us from using the existing dopamine.
I just wonder how a doctor gives you an antibiotic for a whole month to try to heal pssd. how did u get them ? I'm from Germany and I would have no clue to try that out.
It could be worth trying DHEA, a testosterone precurser. Its safe and bioidentical to natural DHEA found endogenously in the body, but boosting dhea availability miight do something
It sickens me to hear that trazodone is being prescribed to someone who suffers from permanent sexual dysfunction. In my case it was trazodone that induced pssd in the first place. I've come across at least 15 other people who experienced the same symtoms and some ended up commiting suicide. Please keep in mind that trazodone still acts on serotonine and shares a lot of similiraties with SSRI antidepressants.
I have been on seroxat 10mg about 10 years for premature ejaculation and it helped me, also it seems I can’t stop it because whenever I Go off the PE gets back, although I have tried many methods with urologist and nothing worked for me, so it seems SSRI medications are the only option for me, however PSSD stories scare the hell outta me, wondering if PSSD is something to worry about or not, it’s so frustrating
intermittent fasting and eating clean vegan - will with time and perseverance help a lot recovering fully into natural and normal undrugged human emotions. manmade chemotherapy chemicals are monsters beyond belief
53:04 Bro doesn't even know what's "risky" about TRT. He clearly never informed himself properly about that topic. Instead he takes clomid.. Very ironic
man please tell me that I am not crazy but I think all of those guys are experiencing this because they are obsessed with it ? I had the same shit and almost lost my life, and when I started not thinking about it and started Zoloft again my mood, emotions, sex drive and everything else came back better ?
u are wrong. why on earth would we get back on an ssri when it gave us genital numbness and emotional numbness/anhedonia??? none of us had any of those symptoms until we took the ssri.@@stevanmatic5680
Seems men talking about their issues but no partners talking about how it effects their relationship. How do wives feel? Sad that it effects young men. It is one thing to be an older man with this problem due to health problems.
@@joetz1 9 days? What’s the longest you’ve gone without caffeine etc? I used to take Adderall and only lasted 60 hours the most I ever did. 9 days…no way.
Yes I went several days at a time with no sleep then I'd pass out from sheer exhaustion for a couple hrs until the absolute hell of akathisia woke me up again, I'd doze off here and there during the several days for 10 15 minutes, I wanted to cut my legs and arms off crawl out of my skin stick my head through the wall anything to stop the horrifying feeling of feeling like a gas pedal stomped to the floor and I'm in park! I can sleep now but still have horrible akathisia all day ,for some crazy reason it lets up about 7 in the evening, my legs still go crazy at night but nothing like they used to. I don't know how I'm still alive, I only weigh 100 lbs from 140 as my stomach is so destroyed
Not to try to discredit the individual in the video, but not sleeping for 9 days naturally is not possible. I kno meth users who can't make it that far with their drug. Then he doesn't even mention hallucinations or paranoia which you would surely have after 5 to 6 days. Idk tho just seems odd is all.

I'm currently experiencing pssd and pe since I tapered off them I didn't have a problem until I did
how long since you expierence pssd and tapered off the meds?
Mirtazapine gave me the best results but the full effect was only temporary. The first day I felt so relaxed and felt tingling down there. My theory is PSSD is related to the body's stress response.

As serotonin increases, the blood vessels narrow and the excess serotonin binds to dopaminergic receptors, which reduces dopamine and at the same time prevents us from using the existing dopamine.
Taking an antibiotic for a month is a very long time. I wonder if the dose was proportionately lower?
My doctor scoffed at my SSD and my PSSD -- even though I was not even helped by her meds.
I just wonder how a doctor gives you an antibiotic for a whole month to try to heal pssd. how did u get them ? I'm from Germany and I would have no clue to try that out.
It could be worth trying DHEA, a testosterone precurser. Its safe and bioidentical to natural DHEA found endogenously in the body, but boosting dhea availability miight do something
I can’t lose, only win, I’m so used to feeling bad
I wonder if testosterone hormone therapy would help men with the after affects?

Don't
If you become pssd, it's no different than ending your life.
I wonder if men on SSRI'S who get women pregnant if it effects their babies.
there is no way that it doesnt. thats the reason why we cant fulfill the children wish with my wife. fuck meds
That is very plausible. For the Anti-Convulsants, it's documented that it will negatively affect the viable foetus/miscarriage/etc.
