Occurs more often than not, not to scare you (I experienced it mildly mostly about once every few months but continued to take the drug for a while) -- although if you're younger, you're probably likely not to be in too much danger of such a situation.>>
yxibow,I guess I am one of the lucky men not to experience priapism, not that I want to, as I have been on Traz at least 6 months and have noticed my dreams are very vivid, but not nightmarish.
The combo of Cymbalta and Traz seem to have sped up my metabolism and have lost 30 pound with the help of high protein/low carb diet for 6 months.
Although I have only been on Cymbalta almost 2 months, I was on Lexapro and Traz previously for over a year. When I briefly switched back to Rem last month, I started putting on weight even when my diet was the same.
As far as the anorgasmia is concerned, it seems to be subsiding, although I still have to work extra hard. I am male and 54 years young.
