I consider a fecal transplant from a healthy donor as the most reliable means of choice for the treatment of patients with PSSD.
I have taken antidepressants myself for roughly seven years during the course of which I developed severe sexual dysfunction. After five subsequent years with profound PSSD I was eventually able to completely restore my sexual function by undergoing a series of fecal transplantations (FT).
I am a biochemist by profession

it was a good friend of mine, so someone that I knew well, who offered being my donor (Studies suggest that family members a good donors, but in my family there was no one who qualified for it). Since I suspected that one treatment might not be enough, I told him from the very beginning that over the time I might need more than one sample and he kindly approved. I reasoned that it is probably more efficient to use a sample in small amounts over time rather than using one whole sample in one treatment; For that and various other reasons I chose to freeze my samples whenever I obtained them. That made the handling much easier and pleasant and I could keep the specimens stored for as long as I needed to; In fact, I still keep some in my freezer, just in case.
Whenever I took a sample I experience an instant, but short lasting improvement in sexual functioning during the first and second day, which always subsided during the following days. I performed several FMT over a duration of roughly two or three month. The PSSD symptoms did not really improve gradually. Initially nothing happened for a while. Then it took on a rather oscillating pattern; I began having improved performance for couple of days, which was followed by several days of dysfunction again. And then after a while the recovery lasted. About a month later, I remember eating a lot of honey and I suddenly relapsed. The next few days I took some more samples and my performance turned to normal again.
