Female on Paxil, Things have changed
 

A girl I have liked (even convinced myself I am in love with, probably) for a long time, but who has been through a few sour relationships, keeping me as a "Best friend" the whole time, has recently (6 weeks?) gone on Paxil.

She is now "considering things" at her own initiative, not mine, between us.

SIIHP is not really that much of an option, there are too many emotional strings involved here.


Has anyone here known this kind of thing to happen? How much of it is Girl, and how much of it is Paxil-Girl?

Re: Female on Paxil, Things have changed
 

Paxil can interfere with sex drive and arousal, even in young women. However, I'm confused--you say she has kept you as a "best friend" throughout the whole time, which suggests that your relationship/friendship has never been about sex.

So, what's changed?

Re: Female on Paxil, Things have changed
 

It's now possible that it could go that route. She is considering going along with my always-been-open offer of a romantic relatipnship, which was not really a possibility made known to me in the past, though now she's making it pretty obvious that we could be very close to taking our relationship to a physical/etc level beyond being extremely close in intangible aspects.

You have no chance. [censored] her mouth and ass, post about it, with pictures. What?

Re: Female on Paxil, Things have changed
 

the paxil is having the opposite effect on her sex drive, she has told me numerous times she can't "get off" (in quotes to seem less crude lol) now due to the paxil.

I laughed... loud

I stopped taking Paxil and told my psychiatrist to F off when he acted like my greatly diminished sex drive was a side effect I should deal with.

Paxil can seriously ruin your sex life.

Wait...you're saying that since she has been on Paxil she is showing more interest in you sexually?

Re: Female on Paxil, Things have changed
 

Yes sexually and just in terms of being more than "just friends". Both were explicitly brought up.

Re: Female on Paxil, Things have changed
 

I have never heard of Paxil increasing sex drive, and I know a lot about it for a laymen.
