I totally understand what you guys are going through.
I have tried every AD and crazy elixir that claimed to relieve depression without sexual side effects. This includes the "fringe" stuff like St Johns Wort, L-Tyrosine, Gingko, Phosphatidylserine and NADH....and they ALL gave me sexual dysfunction to various degrees!!!!! Not to mention your standard "call me droopy" ADs (like you Gilbert, including the ones that aren't *supposed* to give you that problem).
This has been going on for ten years straight and now I am seriously considering ECT in order to escape sexual dysfunction. Obviously it has it's own set of problems too. And I am seriously wondering whether I will get sexual dysfunction from ECT. That wouldn't surprise me at all.I really hope that you guys find something that works before having to choose between celibacy and "riding the lightning".
It is a bummer of a choice!Thrud
