> You may have already addressed this in an earlier thread, but have you had your thyroid checked? Also, sometimes it works to use two meds (or more) so that you do not have to take so much of an SSRI that causes sexual dysfunction. Ritalin has helped me (I also have double depression) as would other stimulants, I suppose.

> Unfortunately, this is still very much a trial and error process, but at least you have a lot of options open to you.I have tried yohimbe for med-induced sexual pro blems. The good news is -- it worked -- right away. The bad news was that I had to take it at a dose that gave me side effects (dizziness, etc.) The dose that gave me side effects was quite small -- I am sensitive to "drugs." But the dose I was on might not be bad for other people.
Also --- it turned out that the yohimbe helps with my depression -- at a small dose --it's a stimulant. So -- it's been a good experiment (I am now going to try ginkgo for the sex problems.)stephanie l.
