I am on Paxil for a Generalized anxiety disorder, this has caused my sexual desire to slip into the unkown. I am getting very frustrated because I want to have desire and to have a sexual relationship with my wife, but I don't want to change my meds. Is there anything I can take (herbal remedies) that will help to increase my desire and get my love life back on track? Please help if you can because we're trying to have a baby, but without desire the process has completely stalled out. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Answer:

You got some sensible advice and I can only second them. If you need to have decent libido and erection for baby making, you need to get the meds adjusted. Talk to your doctor. If that doesn't help, wean yourself off Paxil and then take alternative treatment options for your anxiety. Best wishes.

Oh no I had the exact same thing on Paxil, I stopped taking it and immediately felt better. Paxil is famous for doing this!! I have the same thing you do (generalized anxiety disorder).

Tell your doctor you need to get off Paxil and find something else. There are a number of other choices for you to try. I found my perfect combination on Xanax combined with Wellbutrin, but everyone's different so you have to keep trying until you get your personal right combo. By the way Xanax has totally stopped the anxiety 100% but my friend tried it and it made her feel like a zombie.
