Hi MARTY,
I am also suffering from SSRI withdraw syndrome, I have tried wellbutrin with some positive sign but it only last when taken and goes always when not taken. are you still on wellbutrin ? if not, even after stopping wellbutrin after 6 month period, is your libido , sensitivity, etc back to normal and consistent?

It seems that in my case taking Wellbutrin about 6 months (after 1 years of problems after stoping paxil) help to regain my normality, including getting rid of the genital anesthesia.

I've even had a small amount of testicular shrinkage. This is happening to more and more people, although it is still rare. If you want to be safe I would consider switching AD's to something without sexual side effects if you can, because as far as is known now it could happen to anybody. Take it from me, ssris have pretty much ruined my life by taking away all sexual feelings and much of the associated emotion. You don't want to go through the devastation I and many are others have suffered and still suffer indefinitely.
