> No it is not a personal opinion. I read an article (can't remember where or who wrote it though!) where a researcher tested several ssri's on men- and flouvoxamine had the least sexual dysfunction side effects- my doctor also commented on Flouvoxamine in relation to the little sexual side effects it produces.James here...
Don't beleive it...every AD likes to report this and all SSRI's have always been proven to have sexual side effects.
To me you are asking a car to not be a car. It seems that sex function/drive and seritonin are linked, though this does vary by person so some are less effected. Study subjects are carefully chosen and statisitics can be weighted to give whatever results. Every new AD wants to say it dose not have these side effects.
So if "Joe" takes Prozac and has no sexual side effects it does not have any bearing on what would happen to me (taking Prozac) unless I like "Joe" and he is gay, then I might ask him out on a date !
It is better to pick a med and try it, and then see if it has these side effects, then try another.
