5ht2A antagonists for med induced sexual problems

Posted by Jimmyboy on February 8, 2009, at 11:31:53

Has anyone had success with using 5ht2a antagonists to get rid of med induced sexual dysfunction. My med/supp. combo works pretty great for mood/anxiety but it has caused a gred reduction in libido. The desire is just not there anymore. Could taking trazodone, nefazodone, etc. get rid of these side effects without effecting the efficay of the combo.

Plus, since I am not taking these for theraputic reasons what would be the minimum dose to achieve sufficient 5ht2a antagonism? Thnaks for any advice on the matter

Hi JB,

Not sure if the same follows for guys as the girls...

I have moderate succes with adding low dose Trazodone (25 mg). I take Seroquel (75 mg) and 2 Ativan per day... Trazodone has bought back some libido. Besides that, take Selegine (1.25 per 2 days) and find this enhances libido even more...

Just a hunch?

My best,
Maria
