Hey,
I kind of got scared off of SSRIs after my experience with Celexa: wieght gain and complete loss of orgasm. It's the sexual side effects that were most troublesome. Other than that I felt really good. I've since been trying out various other meds that are supposed to not effect sexual function (and to a lesser extent weight).
I'm on a trial of Lamictal (+low dose BuSpar) right now, but depending on how this goes, I'm thinking that I should go back and try an SSRI again. I think that Zoloft might be a good choice for me for a number of reasons.
I realize that sexual side effects are likely with all SSRIs. I'm wondering if, based on the collective experience of the male posters on this board, one of the SSRIs seems to do better than the others in this regard. I realize that such a beast might not exist, though.
I would particularly be interested in hearing from males whose sexual function was *not* affected while on an SSRI.
Hopefully,
