I have read and also seen a study that claimed that Luvox had the lowest incidence of sexual inhibition of all the SSRIS. I tried it earlier this year and can confirm this...my sex drive was through the roof... unfortunately it caused bad insomnia and I had to stop. Now I know not everyone will experience this effect on Luvox , but I am convinced it contains some property that causes less sexual side effects. So far I have found it lacks the 5ht2a binding or much less than the other SSRIs, and this may affect dopamine levels..ie Luvox may not decrease dopamine levels like other SSRIs.
Does anyone have any insight into the possible mechanism for its relative lack of sexual side effects and is there anything one can add to an SSRI (im on Lexapro) to restore sexual drive?
Thanx!
