hello

i had a recent deathh in the family and started taking paxil 20 mgs per day for only 6 days

(not the controlled release kind)

i was shocked at the sexual side effects, i'll be frank because i'm over 40 and am concerned: no orgasm after hours with my wife
so i stopped today, because it simply isn't worth it

if this is what happens i might as well take natural anti depressants like st johns wort

and im on a tribulus regimen of natural herbs to increase Testosterone

i read an article that these sexual sides can happen after only a few days of taking an ssri like paxil ...i put the link below...

the article continues that the sexual sides can last for several years after stopping most SSRI (most anti-depresssants, an SSRI is another word for antidepressant), and sometimes be permanent! a

they even got a name for it PSSD and researchers say it was sort of discovered in 2006

how much is this a possibility? i was hydrated during sex with my wife, so even tho these ssri's cause mouth dryness and dehydration, it wasn't that.

so, anyone experience or have used an anti-depressant and then stopped, and then the sexual sides return?

im kinda of still new here so if u cant click the link maybe u can copy n paste it into ur web browser to read the article?

thanks for any help
