Guest guest Posted June 6, 2008 Report Posted June 6, 2008 I had 2 major depressions 18 yrs. apart. First time was on imiprimine (pre SSRI era), gained a lot of weight and gradually came off it. No depression until I gave birth and 6 months later crashed. Ultimately Zoloft 200 and Wellbutrin SR 400 finally was the combo that got me away from railroad tracks and I became well after a year. I've stayed on both for 9 yrs. Was raising a daughter on my own after her father left at 1, so didn't have time for relationship and didn't find the right guy. Met a guy been in a committed relationship for 6 months and it is great. However either have been anorgasmic or takes forever. Gives new meaning to " are you there yet?? " (lol). My boyfriend is wonderful and very understanding. Very frustrating for me as my sexual desire is strong and can get aroused, just can't " get to the top " . In the past prior to relationship would masturbate occasionally and same thing, but wasn't concerned until now. I stayed on full dose for 9 years in fear of a relapse. I have agreed w/MD to gradually withdraw or lessen Zoloft. I'm on 150mg Zoloft and 400(200 2x/day Wellbutrin SR)Has anyone experienced return to normal sexuality just by decreasing? Also any success with natural enhancements like Maca Root? A Boston hospital is doing a double blind study w/maca root vs. placebo, so may be something to that. Quote
