PSSD stole my adult years

Age: 36–45  ·  Duration of use: Less than 1 month  ·  Current status: No longer taking
Symptoms: Emotional blunting, sexual dysfunction, insomnia

Took Paxil for 4 weeks and stopped after experiencing side effects like low libido and emotional blunting. It has been about 9 years and nothing has changed since. I don’t know how I keep going everyday, but I’m grateful to still be here.

Has a prescribed medication affected your life?
