If so are you aware of the $100k prize available for a cure of the sexual side effects that remain after the use and withdrawal of these drugs?
"The problems affect both men and women and cause genital numbness, pleasureless or weak orgasm, impotence, loss of sex drive and other difficulties. They can start after only a few days exposure to these medications and in some cases persist for decades.
We want to change this.
On September 12, 2017, we launched our campaign to raise $100,000 for a Prize which will be offered to anyone who finds a cure for PSSD, PFS or PRSD. This could be a doctor, a scientist, a drug company, a member of the public – anyone."
There has been a number of suggestions that are worth following. Seems like there might be a link to Vit D or anandamide to reduction of symptoms.

It's not my prize, I just thought some on Researchgate may not have seen the offer of a prize so put it up here. You are welcome to forward the info to her.
Your understanding however, appears to be too small. You say "during the period of SSRI intake" but these "difficulties" commonly remain forever. In other words, someone may take an SSRI for a short period and NEVER return to any sense of normality. Doesn't sound like a drug I would want to use and makes me weep for those who were conned into using them and suffered this fate. This was my reasoning for putting this post up.
I worked on adverse effect of SSRI (paroxetine hydrochloride) on sexual and reproductive functions and amelioration of these effects with an indigenous plant using animal model
Omowumi Kayode Thanks, did your animal model show effects on sexual functions after cessation of the SSRI. Did the plant solve these problems? If so you could be well on your way to winning that prize! Think what you could do with the $100,000.
Thank you too Jacob Simons. Yes my plant was able to ameliorate the biochemical alterations caused by paroxetine to a large extent. I trust God for favourable considerations!
Have you applied for the prize on https://rxisk.org/prize/ ?
The prize is nothing to do with me. I posted it on Researchgate for the benefit of those here in case they had not seen it.
