> > The title says it all. I am off xanax and klonopin make me semi impotent....what a bummer. I have been through all the ssris except zoloft. Went to the doc's and he suggested low dose zoloft....said that I could probably still be functional if the dose were kept low enough. I have tried tryciclics, beta blockers, benzos...which worked but I needed more of them lately so I heeded the warning cuz I am an ex addict, and all the new antidepressants includung remeron, trazadone, serzone all for panic and agoraphobia. So any sugestions....I just don't have much faith in low dose zoloft.

> MitchFor me it's all a matter of comparison . . . when I'm on a higher dose of Zoloft, being on a lower dose is MUCH better libido-wise. When I'm on nothing, being on a low dose of Zoloft is still significantly worse. I'm currently on a low dose but increasing (again). I read somewhere that Ginko Biloba (60 mg./day) can help with the sexual side-effects. I'm trying that but haven't been taking it long enough to notice a difference.
Good luck!
