Hello I suffer from Dysthymia although sometimes with acute anxiety and darkness. Over the last 10 years or so I have tried almost every SSRI on the market - everyone except Wellbutrin (made me way too anxious) which I consider an aphrodisiac. Some anti-depressants were better for me than others, but I couldn't take the anorgasmia. I now take Cipralex (Lexapro) and with 10 mgs I had the best orgasms I can remember. My husband is pretty peaked about this too ;)
I went through a particularily pronounced slump the other week though, and after being on 10 mgs for about 5 weeks my psychiatrist suggested trying 20 mgs. Immediate anorgasmia. I am now at 15 mgs, and will give a few days and my husband and I will have high hopes...otherwise I'm going back to 10 mgs and give it more time. No side effects either, a great choice for me. I also take 2 mgs of Clonazapam.
