> I have tried amtriptyline, zoloft, paxil, effexor, serzone, imipramine, and trazodone. Zoloft and Paxil worked great, but eventually I lost all sexual desire and performance.

Well, there is kind of a hormonal viagra for men called Proviron that is available via mail-order. I have not tried it, but it reportedly is very androgenic and increases libido and function. It works by increasing your bioavailable testosterone and lowering your estradiol levels simultaneously. This is great for your penis, but risky for your heart. Continuous use will lower your good (HDL) cholesterol and raise the bad (LDL), so regular blood testing is vital. This side effect literally could kill you without warning if you don't monitor those lipids! Non-fatal side effects are hastening male pattern baldness, acne, and increased body hair. This androgenic steroid is not effective in growing muscle, and somewhat effective in hardening and defining muscle, so athletes use it as a minor component in their drug cocktails and mostly during a "cutting" phase rather than a "bulking" phase where testosterone injections are used.

Bad side effect profile for women.

Proviron is not FDA approved in the US, classified as an anabolic steroid, and illegal without a script. Arimedex and Femara are FDA approved, not steroids, and have some similar mechinisms as Proviron, but cost much more even taking 1/4 tab EOD, and have similar risks and less sexual enhancement.

I'm just putting the information out there. I hate the side effects of antidepressants too and hope to try JohnL's combonation for maintenance because its nearly free of side effects. Read some of his many posts.
