Heads up on any SSRI's for downsizing sexual performance. It isn't just the infamous Paxil that will to it to you, but other anti-depressants as well. I didn't know this when I was taking Effexor.

On paxil, klonopin, lamictal and geodon.
Also added a bit of weight too...just wonderful
I cant stand to be touched nor even huged by my church member. freak out is understatement.
