Hang in there Sparky, Lex has been wonderful for so many people - but it does take anywhere from 5 to 9 weeks (according to all the people who post here). There are plenty of side effects that will diminish over time - just have to be patient. The sexual s/e's didn't go away for me til after a few months (I'm female), but there are plenty of guys on this site that maybe could give you advice in that area. I know it's hard the first few weeks, but it WILL get better! Talking to a therapist is worth a try. Many people find the combination of meds and talking to a professional to be very beneficial. Good luck!

Ok...so day one I was so darn angry after reading all the labido side effects I wasn't able to have the O. I slept for an hour and a half that night, got up, watched tv, surfed the net, and then just decided to go into work early. Like 5 am early. Fortunately, I left by 1 pm, came home and crashed.
> Of course I blamed it on the Lex. - I did get some good honest advise from some of you out there. To you...a sincere thank you.

> Day 2, I was less angry. The parania was milder and things already started to feel a bit better. (Could just be my imagination running amuck again.)
>
> Day 3, I felt some peace of mind, but still had concerns about my labido obsession here. Concerns were put to rest... I think this may be cure for Pre-mature Es.

> Day 4, good day, but I noticed I'm a little quieter than usual. I guess doing more observing than participating. My mind is not racing as much. The anger is more of a curiousity now.

> Today I woke up late, but there was just no rushing me. Did my deeds, but felt a little self consious about being me. ????? I guess I'm in the right place.

> I'm contemplating talking to a shrink. My wife seems to think I need it more than we do. Although it concerns me, she's probobly correct.

> My appetite is lower than usual. This is a good thing for now being I could use to loose 20 or so pounds.
>
> My cotton mouth is annoyoing. Cigs taste nasty, maybe I could quit now.

> I've been told all SSRIs effect everyone differently. So far, I think it's helping. I know it's going to take 4 or so weeks before I really feel better, but this is a good start.
