Shadow, it can for the numbness for sure. Well, I guess you have to tie together the fact that decreasing SERT would desensitize 5-HT1A. But then you can see the dopamine connection and it all falls in line. I'd also add that Serotonin is deeply rooted in all things that we are. Serotonin is so...

I guess the other thing to keep in mind is that we can basically tie anything to anything in the brain because it all is so connected. Some studies show SERT up if it's only in a specific condition, while others show it down. It's really just a web of connections and that's super hard to keep...

SERT is essential becuase it is one of a few things that we know from the literature that SSRIs can decrease. PSSD being alkalosis is conjecture, and that's not really the consensus of the community. Yes, it's a theory, but if we'd have figured out the exact cause of PSSD, we wouldn't be here...

I’m intrigued by the mineral part of this theory, and I’m excited to talk about it when I learn it more, but let’s start with 5-HT. That’s my comfort zone, as is PSSD. As mentioned above, PSSD is often caused by Lexapro/Citalopram, which are nearly identical. Lexapro is the more potent...

A question that I do have. Chicken or the egg? High Prog or Low K+? Which comes first, and I honestly don't know enough of this literature to say yet... Does K+ decrease Prog receptors? I thought I had read that here? The study above seems to paint a different picture: that lowered K+...

I'm getting more and more interested in the K+ theory because it appears to be tied to Progesterone. Modulating Progesterone has been a long-term goal of mine becuase I think that it's sufficient to cause the downstream SERT density decreases and 5-HT1A autoreceptor desenitization that I still...

Hello all. I didn't see a dedicated PSSD thread so I thought I'd make one for PSSD research. I'm quite biased because I made it, but this site has a lot of PSSD info for people to get started: https://pssdlab.wordpress.com/ Another community is the PSSD Forum (A lot of crossover with the...

I made a full listing of PSSD recoveries that I found for over the past decade or so. Please send me (PM or email ([email protected])) any new leads, and I'll get them up there. https://pssdlab.wordpress.com/success-stories/

Thanks for the welcomes, everyone. It's been a very busy semester for me, but I am still working. I've been doing better the past month or so with a mix of Ginkgo, Magnesium, Zinc, Potassium, and Fish Oil. I'm also eating about 150g of spinach a day, and that has a lot of Vitamin K. I am...

Hey all, Ghost (PSSDForum Admin) here. Thought I'd join so that I could get to know some people here and see what is going on. I'm 21, PSSD for 3.5 years. Lexapro 5mg for 4 days. Bio/Neuro major graduating this spring. My full intro can be found here...
