"she used the polite "vous" form (in French ) in addressing me rather
than the less formal "tu" "I had the same, or similar, experience with the one who never answered my good-bye email, with my critique offer. After 20 years she would return my telephone message with "This is Dr. X", and called me "Mr. Y". I vowed that I'd call her replacement by her first name, but I never did it. She calls me by my first name, which is fine with me, but I just speak to her, never using her first name or Dr. X" I may bring that up the next time that I see her.
"it really embarrasses me so I try to come up with
another explanation for why I don't like the Zoloft or the Neurontin"Of course that's your choice, but it does make the rest of us who suffer from sexual side effects seem like chronic complainers, have hypersensitivity to these drugs, or decreases the accepted incidence of sexual side effects of these drugs. Maybe that's why the first reports on Prozac only listed sexual difficulties at something like 3%, when actually it may be more like 75%. But that's ok, you keep your modesty, while the rest of us suffer from under reported sexual effects ; >)
BTW, there are claims that some drugs eliminate these effects (you'll find references on the Psychobabble board, or elsewhere), but I've never had success with them. I'm taking 240 mg/day of Gingko biloba and 16.2 mg of Yohimbine right now, but I still can't come. They say it may take several months for these drugs to work. I'm seeing an Endocrinologist next week
You didn't answer, but I'm curious. Even though you don't think it's relevant, did your current difficulties start when the good looking Psychopharmacologist went on vacation?
