> It is just so totally typical of ADs. Only Wellbutrin seems to maybe add some revving to the sexual motor. Al the others have a tendency to affect it some way, usually dampening some aspect of drive and completion. But please, it's not all that makes you human. Many fine human beings have a low sex drive.

> But I know what you mean, we all like to be sexy and attractive unless we're ordained. So maybe you can try a few things. I already told someone about a book that helped me, called The Antidepressant Survival Guide, by Dr Hedaya, and he is very sympathetic about sexual SEs caused by ADs and some possible ways to help rejuvenate. The other thing is to really build up your confidence in other ways, and to think and dress a little sexy (even if alone at home), just trying various ways to keep yourself sexy.

> Millions of people have suffered this with ADs and come through--so will you, most of us do. And there's no lasting effect. Also it's possible the effects subside overtime. And I also heard that we're all so unique that Prozac might dampen my sex drive but not yours, whole moclob in high doses might do that to you, but not me. Hope it works out soon.
Thank you very much for your empathy and advices. I'll try to find the book; still I don't think dressing sexy will help me: if I feel sexy I feel sexy no matter what I'm wearing, and if not.... Anyway, thanks a lot. Did you try moclo?
I asked my doc about Wellbutrin, and she said that when it's prescribed here at all it's
only as a drug for thouse why want to quit smoking. :(
