Hi,
Zoloft works well for my depression, but the sexual side effects are getting very annoying after a year of it.
I could try to counteract it with stimulants, but Wellbutrin gave me *horrid* agitation, and I did not even enjoy cocaine due to difficulty relaxing and muscle tension. Even caffeine agitates me, so this leads me to believe that stims just aren't for me.
I tried Remeron monotherapy once but the antihistamingergic properties caused some dysphoria AND the alpha2 antagonism caused the worst akasthisia of my life. Plus I slept 12+ hours a night.
Are there any other meds with which I can augment an SSRI to lessen the sexual side effects?
Serzone agitated me as well, so I am weary of norepinephrine increasers.
Anything out there that is a pure 5-HT2/3 antagonist?
George
