According to my psydoc Viagra is a wonderful drug for anorgasmia. There is plenty of research to support this in women, and at the very least that should indicate that men with this problem give it a try. As for efficacy, how long have you been on each med? A lot of us here do really short trials and give up - just wanted to put that out there. For example, it was found that many people taking paxil for social phobia were non-responders at 8 weeks but were responders at 12 weeks. Have you been on serzone alone? Might be worth a try. Or zyprexa in combination with the SSRIs seems to help some people.
Good luck,
Jon

> Thanks for the info. My psych. and I have discussed Viagra, but don't think it would have much benefit. I may try it and see. My libido is as strong as ever, and while getting it up takes longer, that really isn't a problem (although they are not as hard as they used to be). It's the severely delayed orgasm, going for well over an hour most times. Do you know if Viagra helps in restoring the ability to climax? My psych's worry is that it will give an erection, but not add to the ability to orgasm.
