IMO ... if you like sex then paxil is not the drug for you.
At least it wasn't for me. My doctor prescribed paxil for me as a preventive to stress. I'm in throws of a very nast y divorce at the moment and high does of stress triggers my diverticulosis, which in my case is quite severe and requires constant mangement. Well, paxil certainly did the trick. I just breezed through the day not giving a shit about anything. It wasn't until I heard about the death of a friend that I realized something was wrong. I had no reaction. I didn't grieve, I didn't cry...I cared... but had no physical response! I then switched to celexcia ... it was fine but as the days went on, I would forget to take it and eventually I just stopped taking anything. But like Sorcha, I too feel I suffer from SADS, this summer has been great, all this lovely west coast sunshine!

Now for the best part... lately, I have been feeling better than ever I remember...why?...I QUIT smoking! My body is sooo happy with me.. all this wonderful oxygen! I can breathe..I have so much energy now... and because I don't smoke, I don't drink ! (well, not very much!) and that has worked wonders as well! This winter I plan to get a special lamp and I think that will do the trick.

Anyhoodles, for what it's worth... that's my story!
