In reply to sex and ADs?!?! okay, honestly..., posted by iforgotmypassword on June 24, 2005, at 10:32:03
> this is NOT directed at anyone in particular, but why is sex such a big issue with people taking antidepressants? if you find something that works, isn't that a hell of a lot better than some useless sex drive or ability to have an orgasm/erection?! day to day, i can only function minimally and i have to pull teeth to get any doctor to take me seriously. how come people who can function well enough to care about their sexual performance/desire are taken so much more seriously than i am? i'm sorry to sound abrasive but do i have to kill myself in order for a doctor to take me seriously? i guess this is just my self-pity, but can you make any more sense out of this than i can? thankyou.
i used to feel totally the same way. Now that I have found something that works, I am almost ashamed that I barely remember what depression was like. So of course once you feel 100%, you start focusing your attention on other things.
Again, even if I had zero libido, there is no way I'm going off my anti-depressants. YMMV.
