> What a crock! I have been prescribed seven different ADs in the last couuple of years. MSome are effective for me - some are not. Trouble is that all those that have been effective have had unacceptable side effects too - I am currently on Celexa and it is the best for me so far in terms of effectivness and side effect profile. Still I have sexual side effects from it - bad ewnough that i often wan to tstop taking it. If i could get something that works as well without the side effects i would be one happy camper. I bet there are a lot of others like me. Saying that they shouldnt bother with this because it is "good enough" is silly. Yes they should work on novel approaches. But why shouldnt thet also make something we already have better?

Dave I could care less about SSRI side effects like sexual dysfunction. Severe depression already has destroyed my sexual functioning, no drugs involved. Id be glad just to be able to get out of depression fully and go back to work and not be disabled and be able to earn a living and be independent again. Screw SSRI side effects...Id gladly put up with some "SSRI sexual dysfunction" in order to get out of depression and go back to work. Of course SSRIs dont work very good for me, so its a non issue.SSRIs cause some sexual dysfunction in me. I could care less. I take them anyway. At least I can sleep on them and have some appetite on SSRIs.
