    GAD meds and Sexual Dysfunction

    I have general anxiety and recently went to my doctor and he prescribed Paxil. I had a problem in that I couldn't (pardon me here) ejaculate and we're trying to get pregnant. So I went back to the doctor and he put me on Wellbutren. I've been on it for less than a week, but I'm wondering if this doesn't work, what next? I would like to get your input as to what medication you might suggest with the least chance of the sexual side effect and if you have had a problem with a med and sexual side effect, please let me know what to stay away from.

    Thanks

    You're not alone, I also want to know about this; any advice appreciated! I've been taking Citalopram and find it virtually impossible to climax, even 'though I'm on a low dose. I'm a girl, so it's not just the guys who are suffering here! I'm wondering at the moment whether to broach the subject with my Doc, I've been having some other probs with the Citalopram but to be honest I don't think my Doc knows that much about the different types of meds and their side effects.

    Some side effects are really horrible ....... some not too bad!!!!
