Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction (PSSD) and Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder (PGAD) are both characterized by unwanted changes in genital sensation and can both be triggered by SSRI use. More info here:

this is literally so embarrassing lmao but has anyone that's ever taken sertraline/zoloft ended up with PGAD? i started taking them again after a couple of months being off and these last two weeks have been actual torture. it's not enjoyable at all😭.

Great article on NPR by Emily Corwin @emilycorwin on PSSD and other antidepressant adverse effects

The symptoms can include nerve pain, emotional numbness and sexual dysfunction and can last for years after stopping the drugs. Patients are pushing for recognition and more research.

I would really appreciate it if people could write in/message and thank Canadaland for airing this episode. They are likely to get pushback for daring to talk about this topic. Could we show them how much this means to us?.
I woke up one morning and instantly knew something has gone terribly wrong, something's wrong with my body, and I quickly realized I'd lost all sexual sensation in my body. -Emily Grey, co-founder of the Canadian Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction Society.

On PSSD prevalence.
@nanoalkhalili Saying it’s rare is speculation based on anecdote, ie “I haven’t encountered it before so it must be rare.” There hasn’t been sufficient data collection to speak anywhere near definitively on prevalence, and the current data which does exist places the risk anywhere between 0.46%.

“But PSSD is so rare.”.
@eroticacid SSRIs are such an enormous problem I've met at least 2 people with permanent sexual dysfunction from them. It's shocking there's not more discussion about the role this plays in the shift of attitudes towards sex in younger genz, dropping birth rates, etc.

Glad to see more professional bodies recognizing PSSD.
Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction (PSSD) .College of Sexual and Relationship Therapists."You may be the first person with whom they feel safe enough to communicate openly and truly be heard.".This sentence struck will strike a chord for many patients harmed as a result of PSSD.
