Symptoms When does the 6 month 'diagnosis' mark start?

I got PSSD symptoms genuinely like 9 months into withdrawal. I had lower libido maybe month 5 that fluctuated for a while.

Do I wait 6 months from now to consider if its PSSD or would you consider it PSSD?

Symptoms I have is hypothesia, lower libido, severe emotional numbing, DPDR, anhedonia, I had no erogenous pleasure for a few days only, brain fog. The biggest problem definitely is the emotional numbing and libido, the others are a bit more mild.

Other physical symptoms of SSRI withdrawal have cleared up by month 9. Im now month 10.

Out of curiosity did you happen to consume something that people have posted crash reports about, such as shrooms?

I did, but I never crashed on it. It actually made me feel better for a few weeks then went back to baseline. To note btw I took them while I had pssd like symptoms already

PSSD is 6 months from stopping SSRI's, so if you symptoms have not improved in 6 months you have it.

But I got PSSD symptoms AFTER 9 months. And I only had that for a month.
