> My guess is that is Jamie is right about the SSRIs. I did Prozac for a year and felt very empty, non-sexual. Cocaine was the only thing to bring back any passion/libido to my life...so you can see where that was leading.
It's interesting that pot makes you get off sexually. Only on Prozac could I tolerate pot after years of herb making SUPREMELY nervous, paranoid, and almost psychotic. Its anxiety attributes seem to counteract the anti-anxiety of Paxil.
As far as Remeron goes, you'll have to see for yourself, but I took it for one day (at 30 mg), and could not stay awake (despite five cups of coffee) nor could I stop eating. I would have gained ten pounds by the end of the week had I not stopped. They switched by to Serzone, which, after 11 days, seems fine. Sex drive is great, appetite is slightly lower (it can be nausiating). I don't know yet whether it will make me empty or if it will work with my intense social anxiety/focusing. Jamie seemed reluctant to suggest it (I'm surprised he thought of Remeron first). If you're out there, J, perhaps you could tell me why...:)
