Sexual Side Effects Of Paroxetine

I have been on antidepressants since August of 2010. While taking Venlafaxine, Cymbalta, and now paroxetine, I discovered that it creates an inability to have an orgasm, and ejaculate. This causes much frustration, because I need the medications to help with my severe anxiety problem, but I'm also 26, and looking to have kids soon with my fiance. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on what to do for this issue.

Unfortunately, it's really just a matter of trial and error, you need to work with your doctor until you find a medication that helps you, without resulting in the sexual side effects.

For my ex-husband, it turned out to be Paroxetine and he was able to stay on it for many years.

You can find more antidepressant details and information here. That way you can see what your other options are, so you know what to ask your doctor about.

However, most of them are known to cause such issues as a side effect.

Are you guys still as playful in the bedroom as you used to be? A lack of that can contribute to the problem, regardless of how much you care for someone.
