SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Re-Uptake Inhibitors) are a common class of antidepressants used to treat depression, anxiety and other mental health problems. Popular SSRIs include Fluoxetine (Prozac), Escitalopram (Lexapro), and Sertraline (Zoloft). Something well established about these drugs is that they have sexual side-effects. In fact, between 40 and 65% of people who take an SSRI are thought to experience some form of sexual dysfunction. What few people know, though, is these side effects can persist even after coming off of the drugs—a condition called Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction (PSSD).
This is more than just low libido. It can be a total loss of libido, genital numbness, erectile dysfunction, an inability to orgasm and complete lack of sexual attraction. Emotional blunting is also common, with sufferers describing a numbing of positive emotions, no romantic feelings, and difficulty connecting with others…
In the UK, 1 in 3 teenagers aged 12 to 18 has been prescribed antidepressants. In 2022 alone, the number of children aged 13 to 19 taking antidepressants rose by 6,000 to 173,000…
And increasingly before puberty! In the UK, antidepressant prescriptions for children aged five to 12 years increased by more than 40% between 2015 and 2021. Aged five! Before they’ve even had the chance to develop normally!
Online forums are already full of people sharing their experiences of puberty on SSRIs and now dealing with sexual dysfunction as adults. Stories of starting Zoloft at age 11 and never developing normal sexual sensation. Of being prescribed Prozac at 14 and not knowing what it’s like to have a libido. Of taking Lexapro for less than a month and still having genital numbness six years on.
Loss of sexual feeling, desire, interest.
And on top of that, tons of assurances from the Woke mob that having no sexuality is just fine. It’s a gender identity.
As opposed to a CHEMICAL DISASTER.
I went to Google and typed in “SSRIs loss of sexual feeling.” Here are the entries that sprang up:
NIH: “Sexual dysfunction in [SSRIs].”
Harvard Health: “Some people taking SSRIs aren’t able to have an orgasm at all. These symptoms tend to become more common with age…”
Mayo Clinic: “Effects on sexual function can include: A change in your desire for sex; Erectile problems; Orgasm problems; Problems with arousal, comfort and satisfaction.”
New York Times: “Doctors and patients have long known that antidepressants can cause sexual problems. No libido. Pleasureless orgasms. Numb genitals…”
So it’s no secret.
Except—how many doctors who are about to prescribe antidepressants to children tell their parents, “The drug can have serious sexual side effects”?
So there’s that. Widespread ignorance, because doctors keep their mouths shut about what they know.
And when all sexual feeling shuts down, a child is told, “Non-binary…asexual…gender…trans…it’s all fine…no problem…”
The kid thinks he’s on the cutting edge of a new society, a new culture, a new way of seeing male and female, a revolution.
It’s the drugs. THE DRUGS.
Chemical castration.
What is law-enforcement doing to the drug companies, the regulatory agencies that approve the drugs, the doctors who prescribe them?
NOTHING.
What are state medical boards doing?
NOTHING.
What is the medical profession doing?
Leading the way on redefinitions of gender, and backing up these new definitions with toxic treatments, plus the surgical mutilations of genitals.
