Huh. Well, my (new) pdoc says that I shouldn't just *assume* that I will have sexual side effects from *all* SSRI's, only because I've experienced them with the (only) two I've taken (Effexor and Leapro). I'm having a hard time believing that. What do you guys and gals think? If these two ADs cause sexual side effects for me, should I just keep trying all the SSRI's available? Have I erroneously (or too quickly) jumped to the conclusion that *all* SSRI's will affect me this way, based on the experience of just two SSRI's?
I should have asked him (I always thing of these things when it's too late) whether he's ever actually treated a patient like me, who miraculously found the one perfect SSRI that didn't cause weight gain or sexual side effects, after being on a string of them that did. Personally, I think he's handing me a line, but at least he didn't say, "Gee that's strange, Lexapro isn't associated with weight gain" like my last pdoc did.
