zant808 I think I saw one of your posts on another board some time ago, so I'm assuming your symptoms have been longer lasting than you initially expected. Most responders on these boards indicate or assume post-SSRI sexual dysfunction is a part of the SSRI withdrawal process and once that process is completed, or shortly thereafter, the symptoms disappear. That is not my experience and perhaps not yours. I have been off SSRIs for over 8 years, but my symptoms still persist. In my case, they include penile desensitivity & decreased response to sexual stimuli, extreme difficulty in achieving orgasm, muted orgasm, and difficulty in achieving or maintaining erection. To say this has had an effect on my relationships would be a vast understatement. So you're not alone in your frustration.
