Hi Kim,

Well 'success' is may be overstating it, it's probably better to say I had 'the least' sexual dampening effects from an anti-depressant called Tianeptine (Stablon). However, this increased my anxiety about 10-fold so this was no option.

Only one anti-depressant so far has perked up my sex drive: Remeron (mirtazipine). Technically speaking this is not an SSRI but a NaSSA (Noradrenergic and Specific Serotonergic Antidepressant). Trouble is, for many people Remeron causes huge weight gain. However, for sex drive and depression it's was the best, IMHO.

> So far the meds that have caused sexual side effects for me are Prozac, Effexor, and Anafranil (although I only gave the Anafranil 2 days- as soon as I discovered the anorgasmia I quit). I suspect Paxil would have had the same effect if I had stayed on it, but it made me manic. I am thinking of trying Celexa next... I really need something for my OCD.
