>I can orgasm easily on all SSRIs, but have low libido. If I stop the SSRI I orgasm with almost no stimulation (like a rebound effect) but my libido is still quite low. If you're not used to thinking about sex it takes a while to start thinking about it again I suppose.
That's a real problem for me, but there may be a physical reason for it. I've taken SSRIs on and off for about 7 years and have noticed a definite rebound in libido after stopping them, but that soon fades and I reach a level not much better than on meds. I suppose my libido *may* have declined anyway since I was 17 but not that much.
Have you tried dopamine agonists to treat the low libido Ed or does it not bother you? I had success with Solian (an unexpected bonus), but I wonder if the elevated prolactin level it often causes may cause sexual dysfunction itself long term? I would like to try cabergoline, but how do you rate my chances with a pdoc hostile to all possible euphoriants in the UK?
I think bromocriptine, and the antihistamine cyproheptadine have also been used successfully to treat SSRI sexual dysfuction? GP would not prescribe bupropion off licence.
