"People might be skeptical about the existence of PSSD and they'll wonder how this side effect has only gained attention in recent years, but this is because PSSD is a source of embarrassment for doctors, regulators and pharmaceutical companies." @taperclinic on PSSD prevalence.

"Despite many regulators updating their labels, many prescribers still are not aware of this risk, because they're not spending time reading through the most updated drug labels." Dr. Josef 🇺🇸 explains why many prescribing physicians aren't aware of updated warnings for PSSD.

Sophy: And does it last forever, is it permanent? Shabana: You have to keep taking the medication. UK Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood MP's answer is incorrect. The planned chemical castration for sex offenders uses SSRIs, which can cause permanent PSSD.

Thrilled to be able to report that there are now grant opportunities available for students at Canadian post-secondary institutions looking to investigate Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction! shapehub.ca/shape-trainee-…

Secretary Kennedy NIH That’s great! When will the NIH fund research into iatrogenic conditions, such as Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction (PSSD)? The government allowed pharmaceutical companies to harm patients and then escape all liability for this undisclosed harm. x.com/PSSDNetwork/st…

"One person looks at, like, a thousand reports a week, so when they see, you know, sexual dysfunction from an antidepressant, they look at the case report and they just go, 'I don't really have time to follow up on this one'" @taperclinic on why the U.S. FDA misses rare events.

"You halt the drug, you try to withdraw because you want to get pregnant, but you lose your ability to function sexually for the rest of your life—this is Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction." @samizdathealth speaking at the U.S. FDA Expert Panel on SSRIs and Pregnancy on July 21st.

"I think the PSSD folks—the Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction folks—have brought in more attention to that, the sort of chemical injury that we're seeing." Adam Urato, MD, Chief of Maternal-Fetal Medicine at MetroWest Medical Center, at the U.S. FDA Expert Panel on SSRIs and Pregnancy.

"Up to about 20 to 25% of patients may have some sexual dysfunction associated as well" Dr. Kay Roussos-Ross, Director of the Perinatal Mood Disorders Program at UF Medicine, gives an inaccurate overview of SSRI side effects at the U.S. FDA Expert Panel on SSRIs and Pregnancy.

"They kind of market this sort of doubt—which is what people used to do with cigarettes, what doctors used to do when we would defend cigarettes" Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring (@taperclinic) on how pharmaceutical companies rely on academics to influence the opinion of doctors.

"On top of that, these drug companies would also engage in something called astroturfing [...] they're trying to create, almost like, a fake grassroots movement" Dr. Witt-Doerring (@taperclinic) on how drug companies fund sympathetic patient groups, such as NAMI.

1/ THREAD We would like to thank Professor Professor Ahmed Hankir for making a video about Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction (PSSD). He did a great job using information available in the academic literature, however some of his suggestions are contradicted by the experience of PSSD sufferers.

"Unlike tobacco, doctors make a living out of these drugs, so they haven’t been quick to jump in and find the answers, unlike doctors faced with lung cancer, who were the people that did the research" @samizdathealth on why doctors are reluctant to admit that SSRIs can cause PSSD.

TOMORROW, Saturday August 9th, we are meeting again to file FDA reports together. I will show you how. It’s not as hard as it seems and helps us put our pain and grief SOMEWHERE. We are supporting Antidepressant Coalition for Education’s (ACE) push to get more reports in as

For a very sensitive piece in a woman’s mag, I'm looking to speak to women who are on/have been on antidepressants about how it affected their sex life, whether good or bad. Did it decrease libido, or is sex easier after anxiety/depression lessened? Can be anon #journorequest
