As a test I recommend google image searching for bareback+bear.

This is a fairly common side effect of SSRI's. Have you tried Wellbutrin yet? It can have the opposite effect for some people.

No but I might try the switch. My girlfriend has been really pissed at me recently because she swears that I'm not attracted to her anymore since I can't stay completely hard during sex. Any kind of quick remedy like a dick ring, or an otc medication that can at least alleviate my sexual problems for a bit?

I think this is nature's way of guaranteeing you don't reproduce, sort of like 'survival of the non-cutting fittest'.

My experience basically, re: prozac ---> wellbutrin. I'm looking to switch again though. Good luck op.

Had this problem with Prozac. I could get started, but there was no finish. [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

No such problems on Lexapro or effexor. Talk to your prescribing physician.

Ditto. If anything it increased my sex drive because I wasn't so depressed all the time.
