Hi,
I have had complete anorgasmia on all of the SSRIs (except for Zoloft). This side-effect has always appeared from day one. Paxil was no exception, and in fact, one of the worst. However, I've been on Paxil CR 12.5mg for a week now and all I've experienced is what I would describe as slightly increased stamina :) I'm very confident that I can tolerate 25mg and who knows how much more -- I assume it will prove to be dose related. I'm not on anything now that would treat SD so there is no explanation other than that Paxil CR is kinder to me than regular Paxil was. I also took the lowest dose of Lexapro on these same meds and it gave me complete sexual dysfunction from day one. So I don't know why this is but I am very happy about Paxil CR! If anyone out there was happy with regular Paxil in the past except for the sexual side-effects I recommend giving Paxil CR a go based on my experience.
