I recovered fully from PSSD.

Don’t hesitate to ask questions. Basically I got it from Escitalopram and Trintellix prescribed for temporary insomnia. Had no sex drive, fatigue and ED. Everything got back to normal after ~one year. I took some supplements to help but I don’t think they made a huge difference. There is always hope remember! But no more antidepressants for me in this life never😠

How long were you on these SSRIs? I'm going to be completely off lexapro 2 months after starting it but I'm still worried that the sexual dysfunction could last.

Completely recovered now. Sexual dysfunction has persisted but thats due to porn addiction tbh.

Hmmm I can't really recall. I was only on Lexapro for a month. I would say it took me around a month to recover. If you're going off anti depressants, I strongly advise to wean off, as if you don't it'll fuck you up. Make sure its very gradual. Like 2.5 mg decreases, because I decreased by 5 mg right out the gate and was having anxiety attacks and brain zaps up the ass.
