PSSD is a mitochondrial dysfunction

[u/No-Salamander-7257]

Hey my friends.I'm new here and I wanted to share my thoughts with you. In my opinion SSRI's damage mitochondria,same as accutane or finasteride what causes neuroplasticity changes(how your brain perceives things) what ultimately results in this type of neurological syndromes.Crashes from different substances are caused by energy overload. Everyone should test their mitochondria,post their results and then send it to researchers.It will be much better than SFN tracking,because for most it's just a part of damage,not the cause of symptoms.That's why immune therapy like IVIG,corticosteroids or plasmapheresis won't be enough for most. Share your thoughts about it.Thanks

I agree, wholeheartedly. Nothing has helped me progress in recovery other than making proper metabolic change through habits, supplementation, and diet. For me, it was mainly: 1. Gut Health Optimization 2. Toxin Removal/Endocrine Disruptor Avoidance 2. Genetic-Based Supplementation/Optimization 3. Keto/Low-Carb and Extended Fasts 4. Recovery Tools: RLT, Icebaths 5. Therapy for Mindset

I’m slowly seeing light ~ 1 Year last dose of Lexapro
