Yes, Gil, and don't feel that you're sex obssesed; I just came out and admitted that I dumped the SSRIs mainly because I want to have a sex life, dammit, with my fiance whom I love dearly, and there is nothing in the world wrong with that.
That's why I suggested you consider what has worked for me: no SSRIs at all and instead a small dose of klonopin which is a cousin of xanax. Like I said, .125 mg (1/4 of a .5 mg pill) three times per day does not mess with my Mrs. Happy and in fact the sex life is superb; I'll keep it to that and spare the details because this is a public board... and the panic attacks are nowhere to be seen.
So mention that option to your doc and it just might work for you. You were possibly taking more klonopin than you needed in the past. My doc says that there is an amazing range of response to klonopin such that some individuals respond well to what sounds like a tiny dose.
