Streetvibes: Despair takes a young man’s life

The Streetvibes Newspaper had featured the above article of a PSSD sufferer from Philadelphia, PA in 2010. The sufferer had graduated from Penn State University, and went on to live in Philadelphia where he was then placed on an antidepressant for anxiety. Before experiencing PSSD, he was given antipsychotics which induced Tardive Dyskinesia. After some time, he discontinued the medications which resolved the symptoms, however he was then tried on Lexapro. The sufferer described the beginning of taking Lexapro as an LSD trip, which then went downhill afterwards. Within two weeks of using the drug, the sufferer began to experience sexual dysfunction and emotional blunting, prompting him to discontinue the drug. These side effects persisted for the remaining 9 months of his life, PSSD.
