I would seriously recommend Welbutrin instead. It has little to no side effects and studies show basically no effect on libido (sex drive). Also very effective on depression. I can also tell you from personal experience - NO sex while on SSRI's, TONS of sex on Welbutrin - best of both worlds!
Good luck!!

I've been on prozac, zoloft, paxil & celexa. I'm on effexor xr.
Welbutrin is my last resort & I think my psychiatrist was saving it in case nothing else works. For now its making sure I have KY handy (God, I thought I'd be 50 before I needed that, how embarrasing) and just dealing with the fact my boyfriend is lucky to get some twice a week when it used to be twice a day.
Thanks for all the responses. I don't feel so alone now.
I definatley can't tolerate this much longer...I'll have to ask my Doc to switch me.
