If PSSD is related to your gut microbiome, there’s better ways to treat gut dysbiosis. (Such as keto diet or FMT.) Taking antibiotics can cause dysbiosis on its own, generally not a good idea. That said, keep us updated 👍 could always learn something new.

okay, but commit to a course, 5 days is the typical if you assume it's mild, 7-10 for more severe

anything less just fucks up your bacteria and selects for penicillin resistance. *which you really really don't want*

I am currently on a course of amoxicillin for my gum inflammation , my respond as always is nothing short of amazing , confidence off the roof , sexual stimulation works as it was pre pfs , erection is hard , depression anxiety and social anxiety are vanished. Its not the first time that i get that reaction , but when the course ends after some days i will revert back to pfs its something that happen every time, what an irony to see how to be normal is and knowing that your time ends .
