>You should be OK with many urologists by this time. Despite all the hype, the sexual side effects of SSRIs are common enough and severe enough that many, many people are seeing doctors to get things checked out. Again, a lot of people are not told about the sexual side effects that are possible - and some of us are given wrong information. (I was told, for example, that only men experienced sexual side effects from SSRIs, so I wouldn't have a problem. Hello? Doctor, the problem ain't in the naughty bits, it's in the brain -- and women have brains, too...)
Good luck, Link. Some doctors out there really do get it that the loss of a sex life isn't a fair exchange for the relief a drug might offer.
