I was wondering what antidepressants you've tried and what side effects you experienced, specifically if you experienced sexual side effects (sorry if this is TMI... but I'm having a problem here!). Also, what are you on right now, and do you have that specific side effect or not?
Also - has anyone ever been on viibryd? I'd never even heard of it until I googled what ADs are least likely to cause sexual side effects. Also also - (sorry for so many also's!) I only can go on something that has a generic. For reference, this is what I currently take: Seroquel 400mg Loxapine 50mg Gabapentin 800mg x4 Lamictal 200mg Diazepam 30mg Propranolol 40mg Sertraline 200mg And topamax and metformin to supposedly help control my weight... HA! Whatever. Oh, and (editing raspberry coming in) - for ADs in the past I've been on Cymbalta, wellbutrin, effexor, remeron and trazodone, and none of those worked out for me. __________________ The darkest of nights is followed by the brightest of days. 😊 - anonymous The night belongs to you. 🌙- sleep token "I'm scared.

I took vybriid when it first came out. I was constantly nauseous but stuck with it because it worked. I was taken off it because I moved states.

I had short periods of lowest dose Prozac and it did not cause sexual side effects to me. Also, I have a male friend who has been on highest dose Prozac for years (he has an MDD and Prozac + TMS + therapy + a very high level of physical activity keep him in top shape. So, he does not have sexual side effects, either.

I noticed that when I switched from Effexor to Wellbutrin, I was more easily aroused. And I was on a tiny dose of Effexor (37.5mg).

I was shocked by how much gabapenton you are one. I must have read this wrong. It looks like you take 800mg 4 times a day. That is 3,200mg a day is that right? __________________ lamictal 2x a day haldol 2x a day cogentin 2x a day klonipin , 1mg at night, fish oil coq10 multi vit,, vit c, at noon, tumeric, caffeine Remeron at night, zyprexa, requip2-4mg |
