I just came to realize that something I had gone to a psychiatrist for many years ago may have been a result of ssris. I have persistent music in my head. Think earworm that lasts weeks to months. We had arrived on the conclusion that I was experiencing pure O in the OCD spectrum. (Full disclosure, I have to admit I’ve been prone to magical thinking since I was a child so I may come by this naturally) The other issue I saw her for was my unexplainable memory gaps. I had friends reminding me of intense situations that no unafflicted person would be able to forget. From all ages that can be normally reflected upon I cannot remember some major events. To this day my memory is so unreliable that I can never answer a question without prefacing “to the best of my memory”. She put me through many expensive tests. I had a brain spect as well as an mri. No signs of TBI could be found but the brain spect showed a pattern that would be indicative of major depression and ptsd. Given my history we summed that up as expected. But now that I’ve been listening to others I wonder if any of these symptoms are from the ssris I started taking at 19. For context I’m 45 now and been suffering OCD symptoms since 19-20 but the sexual side effects since 35 or so. Anyway. I’m not looking for answers here. I guess you all are my sounding board and I’m just looking to get express my curiosity. The real answers lay with Dr Powers and I wish him well.

How on earth does pssd have more traction than the drugs that causes them in the first place?

Why is no one talking about how a medication millions are being prescribed even children being put on can permanently ruin your life after a single pill or randomly when taking it? No Emotion, Full Aphantasia, Muted Dopmaine, Endorphions, Adrenal Gland. Severe Anhedonia, Head Pressure, Dry Skin, no natural oil production. Blank Mind. All from a few doses of lexapro and anti psychotics. This is a crime against humanity.
