> Some patients and i have found that Wellbutrin, Remeron or a Tricyclic antidepressant (except clomipramine) have very few sexual side effects. Of course we are talking about antidepressants here.Soory to jump in this conversation ... may I ask you what TCA did you try in the past and what were the sexual side-effects ? I have tried clomipramine in the past and it killed my libido. I have just started taking desipramine and I'm concernced with the sexy side of the thing.
> Personally i can't stand the side effects of Wellbutrin (anxiety) nor a TCA (global side effects are high).
and ... which non sexual side-effects did you have from TCAs ?
> So i'm taking Remeron 45 mg die with Zantac 75 mg bid to counteract the weight gain and it works perfectly.
I'm going to start Remeron in the next days. Never heard of Zantac but I'll keep in mind for the eventual weight gain.
> But if you want absolutely playing around with an adjunct, take a look for a stuff which blocks the receptor 5HT2A. That is the key.This is interesting. Which are the adjunct that block the receptor 5ht2a ? Sorry for all these questions, hope I'm not boring you.
