Hi gpznos,
As far as the negative sexual side effects go, my guess would be it's the Nortrip. I honestly don't know a lot about Valdoxan since it's not approved here in the US, but I just read a quick bit about it on wikpedia, and it doesn't affect serotonin, so it's less likely.
So if you're concernted about sexual side effects, definitely stay away from any SSRIs, they are notorious for causing these problems, and I believe the TCAs can cause problems too. And the SNRIs.More and more it's seeming to me that maybe you should give Wellbutrin a try. It causes no sexual side effects, and is a very good antidepressant; the only major problem with it is that it can cause anxiety in some people. But if you're one of the lucky ones, and don't get anxiety when taking it, it should really help with your depression, without giving you the undesirable sexual side effects.
Good luck, and keep us posted!
