I have had sexual side effects with SSRI's (every one that I tried as far as I can remember). I would either be unable to achieve orgasm, or no interest in sex, or delayed/diminshed etc. I was on Lexapro a week or 2 ago (and am now done with it) and it was horrible because I had interest in sex, increased...arousal/sensation (it seemed like) yet unable to achieve orgasm (SUCKS!). Serzone was kind of mixed. I was able to orgasm, but it was less strong, and the other side effects made it not worth it (found out about the liver problems after I stopped taking it). I don't have any problems with Wellbutrin, and maybe things would be that much better with um that new Wellbutrin...CL?? The other meds I have taken have not affected my sexual functioning I don't think, or at least not the recent ones (my memory is gettin worse every day I think). Soooo, hope this helps. Sex is a huge part of people and their lives and when meds cut that out, it's hard to accept, so I don't think talking about it should be embarrassing (although, I don't think I'll ever be able to bring up the probs with my pdoc...or even my female doctor). Good luck.
