Pssd hell

Age: 36–45  ·  Duration of use: 5+ years  ·  Current status: No, have stopped
Symptoms: Sexual dysfunction, Cognitive impairment, Insomnia, Anhedonia, Vision issues, ED, Constipation, Nerve damage, PVD in eyes/floaters, Numbness/loss of skin sensation, Genital numbness

I took Zoloft for 20 yrs without issues. I began having GI issues and insomnia, and my doctor suggested I increase my Zoloft to 100mg from 50mg. Upon doing this I noticed anhedonia, insomnia, and lack of libido. I then decided to taper off Zoloft completely.

During the taper, I started having worse symptoms that consisted of: sexual dysfunction, insomnia, anhedonia, vision issues, cognitive decline, ED, constipation, nerve damage, PVD in my eyes, floaters, lack of feel on skin, genital numbness… It's been 10 months with no improvement.
