Thank you for your input, Mike. I fully agree with you that blaming depression for this problem is just a terrible excuse. I'm sure it will be an excuse that big pharma would use when faced with this complaint.
It is actually sad that people are using this excuse when the patient(s) clearly was not sexually dysfunctional prior to taking the AD. How could they suddenly claim that it's a cause of depression, if the patient has been depressed for years, but was always sexually functional?
And in the case of my friend, he wasn't even depressed to begin with. All he had is OCD--not depression or sexual dysfunction. After Remeron, he suddenly is "depressed"? And that is causing him "sexual dysfunction"? Makes no sense.
Anyway, thank you so much for posting those links.
I was especially shocked to see the babble discussion of 7 months ago, which discusses exactly what we're discussing here. People with this problem seem to be multiplying, and this needs to stop.
I wish there was a way, but there clearly isn't. And some kids are so depressed that they either take the AD, or live depressed, which is just as bad, or worse, than having a permanent sexual problem.
The SSRI will eventually poop-out on them and they will be both, depressed again and sexually screwed, so the solution is short and painful. Unfortunately, seems like it's the only solution out there today.
Thanks
