I've already experienced one permanent side effect from it which is where my concern lies. Like Austin Powers I lost my mojo, tho since I'm so socially awkward anyway it's not like it was doing me any good, still I'm only 33 so maybe there's a chance I might meet someone one day. Having that possibility forever or possibly forever taken from you is kind of a bummer.
Do tell me how it goes. I am also going to ask my doc about this med on Thursday. Unforunately the symptom you speak of is common with a variety of psych meds. I am not a male but I am around males where I live and it seems to be an issue with them. I only know because I am friends with sime of them and they have told me.
