I tried bupropion but since I have PSSD any stimulants, SSRI, Alcohol, Marihuana, Coffee cannot affect me anymore, since there might be a receptor shutdown or damage. I cannot feel any Effect from it.
My Urologist says the meds are out of my system, it cannot come from the pills. He advised me to go to a Sex Therapist. My Psychiatrist doesn't believe me either, he says it comes all from my depression.
I tried so many supplements to cure this, but nothing really helps. My last try is Naltrexone which i just ordered. If this won't work either i will order my SN.
Hey, man. I don't exactly have PSSD (since the main symptom is sexual dysfunction and that's literally the only thing that got resolved after I stopped my SSRI) but I have SSRI-induced brain damage and a progressive neurocognitive disorder aka dementia. I've got blank mind, severe cognitive impairment that's worsening rapidly, depersonalization and derealization, emotional blunting, nerve damage, debilitating fatigue, all kinds of headaches, vision problems, literally anything you could think of and I'm just falling apart as we speak. I've been living in this hell for almost 4 years now.
I'm mentioning that just for some context because I can really relate to you. I'm also pretty sure my receptors have been damaged in some way because substances don't affect me. Like coffee (which I haven't drunk in years now since it's useless), alcohol (tried it only twice), energy drinks, even different medications like painkillers, supplements don't do anything for me either.
I get the same reaction from doctors, if I go to a neurologist they refer me to a psychiatrist claiming it's just anxiety/depression no matter what I say and psychiatrists don't understand shit about the meds they're describing so they push the same stuff "it's just the mental illness" or "it's just in your head, you're imagining it" and can only prescribe me more SSRIs. Tbh I could write a whole essay about my godawful experiences with everyone in the health system and they still tell me stuff like "you just gotta trust the professionals, we're doctors for a reason, don't read things on the internet too much". They push me even more towards suicide. I truly sympathize, buddy.
I'm sorry that I can't be of any help. Could I ask you if you had any side effects or just effects in general from the Bupropion outside of your sexual function like maybe on your cognition or your emotions? A dumb question since you already said it didn't affect you but I still feel like I should ask.
