Got an email from a guy, thought my response to him might be interesting here.
Hi Chrissy. I was wondering if you started on the "anger medicine" and what
it's called and how is it working. Did not have success with prozac(sexual
side effects) or wellbrutin or serzone. Looking forward to your reply!Hello Peter,
Right now I am on Prozac and Topamax. Topamax Keeps the anger spurts away definately! but has it's own drowsey side effects that I'm hoping will go away. But I'm also losing weight on it! Peter hate to say it, but ALL of these medicines are going to give you those crappy sexual side effects. ALL of them. After a while sometimes a long while I think your body adjusts, and you find that you just get used to your new self, and you can have the same wonderful orgasms as usual! Well that's how it is for me anyway! I remember definately how it sucked! I remember saying I just can't come anymore!!! Or that it's sooo hard to! My husband still sometimes jokes that he needs to get a jack-hammer ...LOL But most of the time now I have pretty much no prob. and even have multiple. Just learn about your body a little more and give it a little more effort and patience. I've been on quite a few different meds, but always come back to prozac for depression. For people who really need it, it is amazing, with the least amount of side effects. What it comes down to, is what is more important? Your sanity? I think in the beginning the sexual numbness freaks everyone out so they want to abandon ship on these meds. But like I said, they're ALL pretty much like this and your cheating yourself on what could be a great thing for your depression. IT DOES GET BETTER! Your body will adjust.
