You could ask your pdoc (or pcp) for an antihistamine - I've heard they might work (temporarily); there's something called Periactin (spelling?) that is also supposed to help - not sure what kind of med it is.
The other thing I heard is to take a "med holiday" meaning don't take the med for a few days, but with PAXIL this could spell disaster because of its immediate withdrawal effects.
Good luck.

I'm taking inderal for anxiety and high blood pressure and I've noticed a marked increase in libido. It's the exact opposite of an SSRI on that part of my system.
Inderal is a beta blocker and not for everyone but it tends to ease the SSRI side effects although I've given up on those AD's and just take inderal alone for now.

Hi Verne,
I too noticed an increase in libido, when I took inderal with sulpiride although sulpiride wasn't causing any lack of sexual desire. It was like an aphrodisiac for me. Are there any in this forum with similar experiences on beta blockers?
And to Verne, what is your inderal dosage? I took it 10 mg four times daily in the past.
PLS

I'm taking 60mg per day in the long-acting, time-released form "inderal LA".
Unlike most drugs that create problems with sex drive and the urinary tract, inderal is just the opposite.
I much prefer the inderal LA to the regular inderal. The time-release is like a blanket, whereas the old form was often like a bad throw rug.
