> > I've been taking Prozac for a year now and it has really helped decrease my depression. I am dxed with double depression (that's MDD and Dysthymia) since about 18 years ago and have had intermittent responses from Paxil, Effexor, MAOIs and Wellbutrin. In the interval I was diagnosed with HIV (gratefully healthy on meds) and started abusing stimulants which I have also stopped.

> There's a lot to google in our archives but here's a start...buspar, ginko biloba, stimulants such as ritalin,,dopamine agonists etc..I have had sexual side effects with Effexor XR and am now slowly trying to reduce my dosage. My Dr. is trying Buspar as a substitute because he claims that it has less sexual side effects. I have cut my Effexor from 300mg to 150mg and am now down to 75mg and am taking 40mg of Buspar. It seems like I have less sexual side effects on this new dosage but have had increased anxiety and depression.
