Guest guest Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 About 4 months ago I was suffering heavy psychological distress and went into psychologists and psychiatrists. A psychiatrist prescribed me lexapro. I bought it, but before I took it I went on to check its side effects in all my sources of information (I'm a med student, almost finishing graduation), when I read about PSSD on wikipedia of all sites... It raised a level of suspicion so I kept looking in and found a few (very few) articles that discussed the issue. I decided not to take any risks so I didn't use the medication. I discussed it with my psychiatrist (and professor) who had never heard about it and gave him a couple of articles (which admittedly are weak articles) forhim to take a look. I haven't had the time to talk to him ever since, and see what he thinks about it... I'm still dealing with my issues, one step at a time...Anyway I thank the community for raising awareness of the question, maybe I could be another victim, but I wasn't. For that I'm truly grateful... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
