hi, i know the answer to this question is out there but since the search is down i thought i'd ask yet again.
what meds are good to add to prozac for sexual side effects? i'm on 20mg prozac and it seems to be lifting my depression/anxiety but sex sucks!!
thanks!

Are you suffering from a lowered libido or difficulty orgasming, or both?
For libido, tribulus (an herb) or reboxetine/atomexetine (norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor), should help.
For orgasm, apparently some people have had success with cyproheptadine. Yohimbe could help too.
Good luck!

Hi. I'm going to check into the stuff fairynymph just listed because this is informative for me, as well, since I am also on prozac- But I have been taking a good brand of Maca for a little while now and it seems to be helping. Maca is supposed to be good for us women- regulating hormones and preventing menopausal symptoms, or at least easing them, if you start taking it premenopausal. Anyway, all I know is that I have noticed a bit of a difference. Damania is also supposed to help although I have never tried it.
