I have started taking an antidepressant (clomipramine)after being off all meds for two months. The suplements I take help me quite a bit, but I still need to be on an antidepressant. However, I hate the side effects that come with antidpressants, particularly the sexual disfuction. I am a male and the meds just kill my sex drive, much to the chagrin of my wife. I can't reach an orgasm while on clomipramine. Helpppppp. Are there any supplements that could help me. I would have to be very effective to offset the impact of clomipramine - it's a sex killer.
Thanks for your thoughts.
JPA

Theanine boosts my libido. It also aggravates my mitral valve prolapse, unfortunately. I took clomipramine briefly in the '90s and it's one of the worst libido-numbing drugs I've ever taken. I doubt if theanine would be able to counter its effects, but it might be worth a try.
