Great you are feeling well Ace! SO many drugs and trials with may side-effect and junk, but finding something that *works* (even if it takes decades) is great. One word of advice...I know you have this positive attitude which is great..but also make sure you slow down, take time for some peaceful things in your day. Along with feeling good, that inner-peace I think can be a lifelong blessing.
About the sex side-effects. Ugghh..I hear ya! I am on Prozac/Clonazepam/and take Zyprexa PRN. My doc gave me a sample pack of Viagra today..but man this stuff is expensive! (5 bucks a pill Canadian!) I know of folks who take it everyday with their other psych meds and it, with some changes and such in thinking about sex and it's enjoyment, and get benefit. It doesn't increase libido, but the trick being having sex a bit more...(with or without a partner ;-)..on a regular basis. I saw some research about that, that shows regular sexual activity has positive effects on the brain, and feedsback into increased libido and such.
Anyhow..just a personal take...let me know if anything else works. :-)
Peace,
Jay
