np, I think I misread what you wrote, since now it after rereading it seems like the sexual problems stops when you discontinue the drug? So it doesn't sound permanent. Although some change has occurred to you where the drug now causes SD.
I agree with what the other poster said about discontinuing slowly. Thats probably the best idea otherwise you could be facing rebound anxiety on top of any returning anxiety you might have. This will just make getting off the drug harder to do. Hopefully there is a way of getting by without drugs since the benzo are addictive and the SSRIs can cause sexual dysfunction.
Post-SSRI syndrome: iatrogenic anhedonia, memory and concentration problems, sexual dysfunction. [NOTE no sadness or anxiety]
