Ok here goes...I guess I may have to start taking meds Again! ArGH!
For those who havent read any of my other posts, here is a bit of related info...I have these symptoms with my depression: cannot focus, no motivation, cannot function want to sleep or Veg all the time, cannot sleep well, and also get very self hating.(Thoigh I will add here I have Never entertained suicidal thoughts. Tried that once a Very Long time ago and NEVER Again!)
I have been on WellbutrinSR...worked ok, but then I went on a 5 day crying jag after being on it for about 12 weeks. Been on Paxil, did nothing except to take away my libido and ability to achieve orgasm without an act of God. Celexa, started it and after about 10 days had the Crying Jag thing going on again, got off that one Really Fast! Prozac was wonderful at 20MG per day except for the again...not being able to achieve orgasm with out an Act Of God...to explain a bit hopefully without offending anyone....my normal sexual response is usually within about 10-15 minutes. With the ADs, I take over an hour...nice at first but then not so nice...and it is actually *work* for my hubby. WHich leads to guilt and all the yucky feelings that come along with that.
As a side note I have tried all of the Herbal and Natural remedies except for SAMe...which I simply Cannot afford.
So...any suggestions as to where to start with meds which may have less of an impact on my sex life? I have realized I cannot continue on the way I was *Trying* to with no meds..I cannot get ANYTHING accomplished...and I simply Have to be able to cope.
Blessings,
Rhainy
