If I had known the risk in 2004, I would have never taken Citalopram. It’s good to see that manufacturers have been adding the info to their leaflets (however obliquely it may be worded) following a 2019 recommendation by EMA.
But that’s not helping anyone affected by PSSD and honestly, with plenty of other options being available, the medication is just too unsafe to be sold at this point, IMHO.
What your doctor will not tell you is that for some people this side effect never goes away. Even after they stop taking the medication.
Fuck SSRIs.
Oh, and Ladies first is a principle that’s served me well, in bed and elsewhere.
In my experience, that is definitely something the doctor tells you. And it is on the paper with all possible side effects.
I’m sorry if you’ve had bad experiences. But honestly, many people are very grateful they exist
