Can Cyproheptadine relieve SSRI-induced sexual dysfunction? Anyone have any personal experience or knowledge? Thanks

Good question! Well, yes, I've tried it. Many, many times. (It's available OTC here in Canada) But, absolutely NO luck. It seems to work for many women, though. Even so, I'd guess and say give it a shot.
Best,
Jay

I haven't tried it, but Levitra and Viagra worked for me (I am female).

So Periactin works sometimes for women; it that the take-away answer?

The only way you'll know if it works for you is to try it. It's dirt cheap, and as benign as a medication can be -- just an old-fashioned old-time anti-histimine, after all.
It's worth giving it a try if you're having trouble. If it doesn't work, there are other options you can try which are more expensive and rather less benign, but if it does work -- well, we all know how good that will be. :-D
Good luck

Racer,
Just for the purposes of this topic, are you M, F, or rather not state? Thanks.
