Aw, DEl...that's awfully sweet! I'm seriously tempted.

Back to the subject at hand, Demeter, one thing you can see is if the medication you're on has a controlled release version. I'm on Paxil CR (Controlled Release) and for some reason the timed release lessens the side effects. The sexual side effects usually only last for two or three weeks for me, but everyone's different. You could also see if it's possible to decrease your dosage. Finally, I'll jump on my "exercise!" soapbox - exercise alone is clinically proven to be as effective as most antidepressants at regulating depressive symptoms, and might let you lower the dosage sooner or even get off them altogether.

Good luck, hon.
