ISSM Webinar on Post SSRI Sexual Dysfunction

This ISSM Webinar is on Post SSRI Sexual Dysfunction.
The webinar will be opened by Annamaria Giraldi, ISSM President (Denmark).
The webinar will be moderated by Alan Shindel (USA) and Marco Gonçalves (Portugal).
Topics:
Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction (PSSD): history and relevance - David Healy (Republic of Ireland)
Explanatory Processes and Diagnosis of PSSD: what do we still need to know? - Yacov Reisman (the Netherlands)
Q&A Session led by the moderator

💎This is the most important discussion that needs to be seen by MILLIONS of people. PSSD is destroying lives and there needs to be a solution as soon as possible. Nobel prize is waiting.

At least it’s being talked about. That’s a start

Thank you ISSM and excellent presenters for this webinar and focus on an under researched problem. Great to hear how ISSM is working to educate. Appreciate these excellent webinars.

So let's break this down a little bit.
1. Still, as has been the case for years, Healy et al do a great job of talking about the condition. Which is where it ends. Healy and ilk are not running active trials on real people, executing combinations of safe chemicals, to target theoretically downed neurotransmission. This is a problem. Which is a great segue to..
2. If we leave this up to the establishment (IE: pharmacologists, mere writers and speakers, and others that play largely an observatory role), the condition will remain as it is, all consuming, and painfully elusive solution wise.
3. Some of what was said here is wrong, and bad advice. As an example: downed auto-receptor function, and thus, a ghost train of serotonin. This cannot be true. Berberine, a chemical plenty in the community has experimented with, should be close to resolving the issue, IF the auto-receptor theory is correct. Berberine would activate the 1A autoreceptor at the first stop (somatodendritic), and inhibit post synaptic 1A and 2A receptors. It does, actually, but yet, the problem remains.
In the many PSSD forums, scores of men have experimented with both Berberine, and a modified BCAA regimen to inhibit serotonin synthesis, and alas, still get next to no results, and some, get worse. Neither of these are remotely close to a solution or treatment for PSSD.
Mirtazapin (Mirtazapine) is touted as a treatment in this video. Or a way to positively augment the condition. When in reality, Mirtazapine itself has caused non-SSRI PSSD in many people. I have proof of this and would go on the record any day about it.
4. And again, what we have here are people in the scientific community doing much of what they know how to do, (talk in circles about PSSD, with no real routes to solutions) obviously lacking what we know they can't do: put boots on the ground to achieve persistent, significant symptom relief.
5. Many of us that are actively working with real people to solve the issue (because this condition will only be solved outside of the establishment, not IN the circle that created it), have reached out to the establishment behind this video, only to be scoffed at as if we don't have the expertise to tackle such a task. In no uncertain terms, that is harmful to the community of sufferers. I cannot make that any more clear.
6. The sensory organs spoke of, as if the issue lies or ROOTS within them, get their signaling from the spinal chord and brain. This is neurotransmitter signaling gone awry. Not some nebulous deficiency in sensory organ function. The pure registration of these signals takes place in the brain.
7. There is usually next to NO discussion about acetylcholine, one of the most important neurotransmitters in this dynamic.
8. Serotonin itself is observed as the enemy, when in reality it is not. No regular man, with normal sexual function, has some deficiency in serotonin signaling. This is just untrue, prevents the community from moving forward, and is harmful, at best.
And plenty more I could go on about for hours.
The condition is solvable, if people are looking in the right place. Which is OUT of the pharmaceutical medicine dynamic, and deep in the depths of self/guided experimentation, with compounds that are addressing the more LIKELY chemistry behind PSSD.
When the establishment catches up to the work that some of the pioneers of PSSD resolution have done, then we'll be making large scale progress. Until then, we'll continue being reduced (at least from these inputs here) to mere discussion.
What this video tells us is, that the groups behind the discussion here, have made precisely zero advancements in solving the condition.

Very interesting webinar, great discussion.

Mirtazapine caused my PSSD even though it's not an ssri

[@ajax700]

*Mirtazapine caused my PSSD even though it's not an ssri*
Yes, it's only "less likely to cause nausea and sexual dysfunction than SSRI" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirtazapine
How many months/years did you took that drug? Did you took other drugs?
Doctor David Healy mentions this many times, that many drugs cause persistent damage:
finasteride, roaccutane, tricyclics (1st generation so-called antidepressants).
Have you seen these?
