I just found a curious picture of comparison antidepressants and drugs. That's why LDS and other drugs don't cause emotional numbness and don't kill internal monologue, unlike antidepressants.
Your ideas how to do backup?
I have an idea:
Low-tryptophan diet with bcaa, it competes with tryptophan at the BBB. And later use lsd to reactivate mental flow. Has there been anyone who tried this scheme?
If you have anhedonia or ever had bright windows, please check the table below and answer which column relates to you more?
I just thought what if that people who think they have PSSD but have bright windows actually have DPDR?? Imho it may explain presence of bright window - wrong diagnosis. Your ideas?
And people who have PFS (not PSSD after SSRIs) and feel anhedonic, actually have DP/DR as a severe stress reaction on the fact that their genitals don't work. In other words, if we communicate in professional terms like "anhedonia", without being professionals, we deceive ourselves and those around us.
Some people even get DP/DR after one take of anything (even a pill of magnesium lol) as an hypochondriac or hysteric reaction.
There are also many other manifestations of conversion (dissociative, hysterical) symptoms, such as: numbness in the hands, loss of visual field, double vision, pseudoparkinsonism, pseudoparalysis, brain fog, and more and more... There are lots of variations.
Anhedonia (PSSD) after antidepressants is: I don’t see bright colors now, all smells are grey, all food tastes like rubber. No more sleep cue, no more hunger cue, I don’t see the world brightly at all.
Dr. Powers, do you have any ideas about it?
For 6 months I'd had DP/DR. Had issues with inability to sleep. Came to te doctors and they gave me mirtazapine plus imovane. So, now this sh*t happened. F***.
What do you mean when you say you have "Anhedonia" after Finasteride or SSRIs?

Hello everyone. In the summer of 2025, I started suffering from a broken sleep schedule. And I never had anxiety or depression. I heard that a classmate from my language courses had been prescribed antidepressants to help her sleep. In short, I fell for it too. I tried amitriptyline (borrowed one pill) and then in 5 days i tried sertraline (my aunt were taking this and said they do nothin) and my life changed.
Before taking these damn pills, I had been tracking my sleep schedule in a journal, and out of habit I continued tracking how I felt after starting the medication. Overall, I recorded my condition almost daily (especially at the very beginning after the first symptoms). Here is Google Table xlsx with my track.
I hope this will help in discovery (to find patterns) and get closer to discovering the cause. I'm already in despair. This is my first post on Reddit.
Have you tracked your symptoms? If yes, share too.
