In reply to ANY REMEDY TO HELP MY MALE SEX DRIVE ??? I HOPE, posted by Nefazodone Boy on October 17, 2005, at 9:40:23
I can feel your pain, Nef. Boy. While my trial of Serzone was not as long as yours, I can speak as someone who has tried a lot of different meds and the common problem is almost always some degree of sexual dysfunction. For example, I started Celexa - years ago - and my mood and sex drive went thru the roof. 6 months later I was making sad excuses to my girlfriend about why we weren't having sex anymore.
I could give more examples, but bottom line, I've found that meds that have worked also increased my sex drive only temporarily - and as the med stopped working, so did my sex drive. I don't think doctors - or the meds industry - are willing to admit the extent to which AD's can negatively impact a patients sex life - the meds that don't cause negative SEs are by far the exception and not the rule.
I am currently trying a low dose of Lexapro ( 2.5 mg) along w/ Adderall 10 mg per day. I think that Lex has pretty much killed my sex drive, even at that small dosage.... and my current girlfriend ain't happy.
Anyhow, good luck...
