Possible PSSD symptoms

Unfortunately this does sound like PSSD. People have reported developing it from 5HTP. And indeed, its very difficult to get a doctor to even hear you out. The first step is to get a physical examination by a urologist and a hormone panel. You should also start seeing a therapist. If you can say you have tried all of these, other doctors will be more likely to help you. After that, see a psychiatrist. In my experience, the only way to recover from PSSD is with more medication. Wellbutrin and buspirone are both helpful in treating PSSD, and some people benefit from SSRI reinstatement.

I would agree anything that messes with 5ht1a I would assume can cause same things. Definitely check hormones and make sure everything is in line. Some improve naturally but unfortunately it’s usually with extended time. I’m at nine months. Buspirone and wellebutrin each both helped me some temporarily but positive effects went away. We are all hoping drs start recognizing and finding fixes for what is happening.
