Thanks Jim! I appreciate your reply. Yes, the only problem I have is the anorgasmia - no decreased libido, no erectile dysfunction. If there was ongoing anorgasmia I don't believe the benefits would outweigh the costs. I'm on 10mg, and generally have a better sense of well being, though I can still be whipped up. I guess you could say that Lex takes the edge off.
