I quit my 20 mg of lexapro because of complete inability to have an orgasm. There was a silver lining of sorts, my wife would actually have to make me stop. That was nice for the ego but I like having orgasms too. Plus we are trying for another baby.
So I started desipramine and within two days total system failure! I mean sometimes you are tired or feeling a little sick or whatever, but holy s**t, nothing, nada, zilch. So I got some levitra samples from my doctor and they did the trick. That side effect seems to have gone away, but it was a very unpleasant surprise.
I seem to have the same experience as you, somnolence, apathy and anorgasmia are not side effects of SSRIs, they are the only effects. I guess low dose SSRI + Viagra/Levitra/Cialis might be worth a shot.
