Ask your doctor about a new a/d called Celexa.
Its brand new in the US..known as citalopram in Europe. Its supposed to be an effective a/d without the sexual side effects. I have no personal knowledge..I'm on Prozac. For me, the side effect is tolerable. At any rate, I know it isn't for a lot of people.
