Also the sexual side effects of SSRIs get better over time as your body gets used to it in my experience. I think other men here will back me up on that. It's not a good reason not to take meds if you do need them.
Hope you start feeling better man - exercise can help a lot if you don't do that already.

Thanks for the reply. I'm on a very low dose of Wellbutrin, and I just don't think I'm on enough of it. (150mg) I've read in a ton of places that this particular med usually takes around 8 weeks or so to level off. I dig the motivation this one gives me in terms of workflow and just tackling life, whereas the Celexa I used to take for a while did the opposite…was essentially numbing, which is no good for producing art. I'm gonna go back to the doc in a couple weeks and deal with this.
Definitely need to start working out again. That all came to a halt about 8 months ago. The Wellbutrin would probably really help me there too. Thanks again man, hope everything's good with you!
