Hi,
For some people the sexual side effects of SSRIs are persistent, DO NOT GO AWAY AFTER QUITTING THE DRUGS, and can last a long time.
There is a new Yahoo discussion group for men and women with such long-term side effects, which include low libido, absent, delayed, or dulled orgasm, emotional blunting, erectile dysfunction, and secondary depression.
http://health.groups.yaho o.com/group/ssrisex/
We would like to discover the reason for this persistent dysfunction and find a cure. In some men and women, it appears as though low testosterone is a possible cause. Disturbances in dopamine and other neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine, GABA, and oxytocin also appear to be causative.
We discuss supplements or medications that may facilitate recovery from these conditions, and share our experiences of them, but such discussions do not constitute medical advice, and all drugs should be taken under a doctor's supervision.
