Antidepressant and Super-O ?

It depends. There are antidepressants which do not affect the libido and erections that much. One is wellbutrin for example. But the question is if wellbutrin would also help you with your anxiety.
If you switch to a different drug and then the side effects are gone but they don't work for anxiety then this would also suck. I suggest you talk to your psychiatrist about this. You could also try a combination of a SSRI & wellbutrin. This is pretty common.

What do you think about "St. John´s word" aka hypericin? Does this alter the sex drive and ability to have super-o´s? Its natural so this could be the best choice.

I had this problem too. Awfull. It made me more depressed so I stopped. After a few days, I was erecting again and the reawakening of this eased my depression. I think the loss of desire and pleasure was just too high a price. I was happy to be "living " again!

What Antidepressant did you´ve take? And how did you stopped it? Cold turkey or tapered off?

Just curious, but why not take something specifically for anxiety instead of an antidepressant? Not a doctor or very knowledgeable about this, but I thought medications like Xanax are for anxiety. I know you aren't supposed to take these long term, but it may be better to take these occasionally when your anxiety becomes unmanageable than to take an antidepressant everyday if you aren't depressed. Even better would be to try out a more natural route that is sold otc or making lifestyle changes.

@DarkOrb, the combination of wellbutrin and celexa had the least effects on my libido and arousal. Zoloft had the most, almost like castration. I'm told wellbutrin is not an SSRI so maybe that's why.

However, every one of them suppressed my emotions too, good and bad. It wasn't acceptable to lose these parts of myself so I stopped taking all of them a while ago. I stopped abruptly and had an unpleasant reaction, weeks of crying and other emotions on top. Don't stop abrupty! I'm over it now that I've learned to accept my emotional reaction to everything. Psychotherapy helped.

You can insist that the medications not affect your emotions and libido. They will try different meds and combinations of meds to control your anxiety. That's their job. Are you having psychotherapy too? That plus the right medication is supposed to be the most effective route. The idea is to explore where my anxiety is coming from in psychotherapy.

I've recently noticed my underlying anxiety. It helps me to discretely shake my body and allow my teeth to chatter when I notice that I'm anxious. Don't know for sure why I'm afraid, maybe some near death experiences from my birth and first year.

After stopping the antidepressants I tried St Johns Wort but it had no effect on me. But others swear by it. I really wish you well in your pursuit, I know how debilitating anxiety can be.

I'm taking a SSRI (escitalopram) for anxiety (namely OCD) and it hasn't affected my libido nor erection. What it does affect is ability to orgasm, in that it takes much longer to reach orgasm; some may view this as a positive while others negative. Other bad side effects I've experienced include disrupted sleep e.g. restless sleep, and it is much harder to wake up. But I have taken other medications for anxiety before and this one seems to have the least severe side effects.

Hello,

I just want to say that ive discontinued my antidepressant and my libido and errection are coming back. I couldnt be happier right now.
