Bob:
Somewhere on the Dr. Bob site (Psychopharmacology Tips, I think?) there is a discussion of buspirone's use in countering the sexual s/e's of ssris. Here's the link:
http://www.dr-bob.org/tips/split/SSRI-sexual-dysfunction.html

As you see, the reports are mixed, but at least back in the 90's, pdocs seemed to use it to treat anorgasmia on ssris. Again, this is just anecdotal information from my personal experience, but I did find that buspirone augmentation (once I settled with a dose) increased desire though it did not touch the ssri-induced delayed/extentuated orgasm. But then again, this is an ssri s/e I am glad to have!

Regardless, it is worth a try. I have always regarded the serotonin bliss-stupor to be a major factor in the sexual inhibition with ssris. Buspar really seemed to modulate this effect for me.
