Hi, all. I am a 23-year-old male taking 20mg Paroxetine. I am having terrible sexual problems because of the medication, and it is very aggravating and depressing. I want to ask men who had/have these issues what they did to alleviate them. Switching medication is not an option for me because I have tried 8 different medications to treat my anxiety and came back to Paxil because it is the one that treats my anxiety best with the fewest side effects (sadly sexual dysfunction is the only major one, but it's a big issue). Anyway, what did you do? My doctor told me about some supplements I could try. I tried Sam-e 400mg twice a day for about a week. I think it was starting to help a little bit, but I stopped because it was irritating my stomach. I also want to try saffron or ginkgo. Please offer any advice. Thanks.
