Well, girls, things have been going pretty well lately. I've been on paxil 5 months now and have been able to wean off ambien and only take a half dose of Ativan 2-3 times a week. My conern now is that I have no sex drive. My husband and I used to have a very exciting intimate relationship. Now, I force myself to go through the motions every week for him. I feel so guilty leaving him high and dry, but there just isn't any desire. Have you had similar problems? I did have this issue with prozac a while back and tried wellbutrin. It worked for a while, then I started fainting alot so my doc took me off. Any suggestions would be reatly appreciated!

Hi, Candace! Sorry to hear about these problems. When I was on SSRI's I had difficulty achieving orgasm. It was frustrating, but I worked around it by allowing more time for foreplay. Also, I wouldn't find enjoyment if I was feeling pressured, overworked or had the racing thoughts. My partner was understanding about that & didn't pressure me. Here's a recent link that might be of help: http://messageboards.ivillage.com/n/mb/message.asp?webtag=iv-bhpanic&msg=21267.1&ctx=128

I have noticed the same thing with Zoloft.
