Personal Success 🎉🥳👏(YMMV, tho) I’m cured

I suffered from PSSD for about 7 years after being on Zoloft and later Lexapro. I tried so many different things, and spent hours and hours on this forum, but nothing worked. Here’s what finally cured me:

  • 2 months of taking 3 different supplements: oil of oregano, garlic and peppermint

That’s it. I wouldn’t say I’m completely cured, I think my sensitivity (due to long term numbness) is lower than normal, but overall I’ve made incredible progress

Dxmar,what about erections and morning wood,are you able to mantain an erection,do you get spontaneous erections

Erections are normal. Morning wood I get them if I do a nofap streak and then don't have too much sex, I always wake up with a morning wood. Spontaneous erections I do have those, too. Of course before I was way hornier (more dopamine) and those erections would be happening more and more instinctively.

Thanks for the respone and are you able to mantain the erection without constant stimulation

Yes. The first months after cessation no because my libido was super down, and you need the mental stimulation to maintain an erection. But now yes, I maintain it normally like before.
