Ed, I took my first SSRI paroxetine at 17 and the anorgasmia scared the hell out of me. I found an email from a guy who had withdrawn and six months later could still not ejaculate. He was asking the manufacturer GlaxoSmithKline when this would correct itself and they totally blanked this question in their reply. That was enough to make me throw the rest of my Seroxat in the bin.
Have you ever withdrawn from them to test your responses or is that not worth the risk? It seems they have had a permanent dulling effect on my ability to feel pleasurable sexual sensations. This ruined the sex life I had when I did finally get my first sexual partner.
I feel a little angry when I think of this since in a way if SSRIs are responsible for this then they have caused permanent (?) harm. Have you heard of 'Post SSRI Sexual Dysfunction?' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_SSRI_Sexual_Dysfunction.
