Re: PROZAC DESTROYS DESIRE PHASE

Hiba--I hear you, totally. I feel the same way. It
scares me to think you have not regained your sexual self
even after stopping the drug. I've been on prozac and had
the same thing happen, but when I quit the drug, my sexual
self comes back...I had a friend who had a situation similar to
yours, but she was on Paxil...it took awhile for her sexual functioning
to be restored to normal...like it slowly came back over a year's
period...so there's still hope, even as awful as a year sounds, it's
better than never.
I struggle with the "is it worth it?" question a lot myself. My sexual
self is a big part of who I am, and even a spiritual part of me...so to
lose it is like chopping out a piece of my soul...but then depression renders
me a pretty hollow soul too, and a lot of times I'm not even fit to be in
a relationship if I'm depression--so who am I going to be having sex with
anyway? I don't know. It's a real painful issue. I'm surprised more people
aren't upset about it. Maybe they've just given up, resigned to it.
