YOU ARE NOT ALONE - A companion online community discussion board for The Mental Illness Happy Hour podcast with Paul Gilmartin

Ok so my partner already has difficulties on pristiq with ending things, won't lexapro make this worse? Add to the trouble his doc says I'm on the wrong meds and would be fine sexually if I had the right pills but I don't know how I'm going to get off seroquel and still sleep. I can't do it.

Should we both see a professional sex therapist in this instance? I know we'd both feel a lot better with more intimacy but I struggle to get aroused and help him get to the end as well. I was going insane a few weeks ago and just attacking him but that's all worn off now and I'm back to disinterested.

Side effects don't always occur, please do as the doctor advises. "If" after you switch things up things are not working, then go back. Please don't discount their advice before you take it. Remember that doctors have some knowledge on pharmacology and they are advising you on an alternative they think will be better for you.
