I took Paxil CR for about 5 years and then switched to regular one(1year). While I was on the CR version, I've only experienced delay in orgasm and maybe a slight reduction in libido. Not bad at all. Then when I switched to the regular one, I had some difficulty orgasming at >10 mg. I figured I can lower the dose if I wanted you know.

I saw in many forums people complain of their SSRI use and how it causes them low libido, genital anesthesia, etc.

I thought they were experiencing what I did which was Not bad. Now after taking Brintellix, I've realized what people meant and how severe of a problem it is.

Starting Brintellix (have been on it for a month and a half now) even at low doses as 5 or 10, the SD is very severe. I forgot something called porn, dating, etc. I forgot I have a clitoris. Doctor said Brintellix does not have any effect on libido. Not so for me. I'm extremely desperate. I long for the days pre med when my sex drive was GREAT.

Please help. I can't live my life like this. Sex is very important for me. Which med doesn't cause SD?
P.S pdoc refused prescribing Wellbutrin as it aggravates anxiety, irritability. He suggested taking Pristiq instead.
