spectrum is on a distinguished road
Default paxil etc.

i tryed paxil after being told for years i needed medication by friends, co workers, my wife, etc...

i finally gave in and my experience was i was still depressed i just no longer gave a shit....switched to prozac for a little while and didnt feel so "numb" but still had some of the "delayed gratification" issues but at least i wanted sex again.

i'm sitting on a stack of wellbutrin now and been planning to try that eventually (depression has been a lifelong issue for me) and have heard it actually increases sexual function vs the decrease that seems to be the norm for all ssri's.
apparently wellbutrin acts on dopamine reuptake vs seratonin.
anyway-if the sexual sides are really a problem u might want to consider wellbutrin as one alternative.
