Ok, Here is my personal coctail for the past 2 months:
40mg Celexa
150mg Wellbutrin SRSex is so much better on this combo than it was on Effexor XR 150mg/day. I can at least have feeling down there now.
The trouble is that it takes forever and a day to climax. This is not a problem always and can be an asset sometimes. Yet it is a hell of a lot of work for the both of us to make me have an orgasm now. This was not the case before meds.
I also have diminished sex drive. This is OK but my partner is highly sexual and I'd like to be able to keep up with him a little bit better. Before meds I had greater frequency and enjoyed it.
The trick is that this combo seems to work well for my depression and my compulsion. I do not feel as much anxiety anymore.
I am taking ginko biloba and ginseng to attempt to increase sex drive and to make it easier to have an orgasm.
I've seen several posts on alternative meds that may or may not inhibit sexual relations. My pdoc suggested Serzone before if the Celexa did not work. Will Serzone be as effective as Celexa in treating my depression/anxiety and my compulsion?
I've read about Remeron too. It seems to aid sexual function too. Yet I've also read that it is a very weak SSRI too.
Could my pdoc give me something else to help me out sexually? (Not viagra, I'm terrified of it.) I'm seeing him this afternoon and I would like to be a bit more informed on what other people have done to be able to treat their depression while having a good sex life.
