We can get Periactin OTC, without a prescription here in Canada. I can buy as much as I want, and have. Of course I used it following it's normal precribing route, but found it reduced the anxiety and such of SRI/SNRI's. It doesn't seem to do much for sexual problems for me. I'd suggest *all* folks with anxiety/aggitation problems with SRI/SNRI's use Periactin regularly.
One of my next considerations is consistent daily use of Viagra. My doc has had amazing experiences with this, and has read research it also benefits people in depression through the positive, wonderful feelings of a healthy sex drive. (I'd agree, as that could also lead to more desire to socialize, and go through a positive upward spiral.) The only problem is the price of Viagra.
I'd say do some further research, and talk to your doc about it. Best wishes...
