Listen Later

In this episode, Benjamin shares his journey, the onset of his symptoms after taking Cymbalta, and the profound impact it has had on his life. He discusses the challenges of finding medical validation, the loss of libido, and the mental and emotional toll of living with PSSD. This candid interview sheds light on the realities of PSSD and offers support and insights for others affected by similar conditions.

Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction (PSSD) is the current term for a rare syndrome characterized by devastating physical, neurological, and sexual side effects that persist and progress even after stopping SSRIs.

PSSD has a disastrous impact on patients, their families, and their friends. It often leads to disability, isolation, and even suicide. Every person is valuable, and everyone deserves to make a fully informed choice about their health.
