I was wondering if anyone else has had this issue or know of someone who did and what they did besides going off the med's to bring it back?

Obviously I'm a female and can't use Viagra but any help would be appreciated.
Yeah, when I took Paxil I had the same sexual side effects. Fortuanately I don't take it anymore. The side effects went away when my doctor switched me to mirtazapine, which by the way has no sexual side effects. See if you doctor can switch you to a anti depressant that doesn't these kind of effects.
