Life Altered by Lexapro: Grant’s Journey with Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction (PSSD)

In this video, Grant shares his personal story of living with Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction (PSSD) after taking Lexapro. He discusses his experiences, the symptoms, and how they have impacted his daily life. Grant talks about emotional numbness, lack of libido, and the challenges he faces while trying to lead a normal life.

Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction (PSSD) is the current term for a 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.
