I'm new here, recent SSRI discontinuation

[Guest guest]

I've been taking Lexapro and Risperidone since 2005. Sexual side effects began

in 2011, and after several attempts at finding a hormonal cause, I discontiinued

Risperidone in February 2012 and discontinued Lexapro in March 2012. So at this

point I've been off the SSRI for about two weeks or so.

Morning and incidental erections stopped completely in September 2011. Since

the Lexapro discontinuation, they have gradually returned. I do experience some

orgasm anhedonia, limited interest in sex. I have been hesitant to initiate any

new relationships while I've been dealing with this, but I suspect maintaining

an erection and interest during sex would be difficult / impossible.

Since I have seen some improvement since the SSRI discontinuation, I haven't hit

the panic button, but I've joined this forum in the hope that others have seen

some benefit from supplements and/or finding a general time table for typical

symptom improvement after discontinuation. Anyone has some helpful links,

they'd be much appreciated.
