Hi,
For some people the sexual side effects of SSRIs are persistent, DO NOT GO AWAY AFTER QUITTING THE DRUGS, and can last a long time.
A new Yahoo discussion group is for people with such long-term side effects, which include low libido, erectile dysfunction, absent, delayed, or dulled orgasm, emotional blunting and secondary depression:

We would like to discover the reason for this persistent dysfunction and find a cure. In some men and women, it appears as though low testosterone is a possible cause.
Disturbances in dopamine and other neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine, GABA, and oxytocin also appear to be causative.
