Hi everybody, i need some advice. I been on paxil for 7 years. I just got married and Im really tiredof dealing with the sexual side effects!!! I want to be able to know what a normal sex life is since I started paxil before I was sexually active. Does anybodyknow of another prescription that works with social anxiety but does not have sexual side effects? I'm so ready to move on from paxil! but over all it has helped me a whole lot! Thanks a lot

SOME ANTIDEPRESSANTS ARE ADVERTISED AS NOT CAUSing sexual problems but i dont think anyone should be on an AD for 7 years without quitting to see if its still needed
