So I'm on Effexor XR 225; added 30 mg Buspar last year as an augmentation strategy. So far, so good. But now that I'm having sex (or trying to have sex), the delayed orgasm side effect is becoming increasingly frustrating.
My T-levels are mid-normal range (33-year-old man). Having tried Androgel briefly (friend's leftovers), it seemed to improve my motivation and energy. I'd like to try it long-term, at a moderately high dose, to see if it helps with libido and orgasm too.
I'd be curious to know if anyone has had testosterone prescribed specifically for AD-induced sexual dysfunction, and particularly for delayed orgasms. Pointers to relevant studies, personal experiences, non-wild hypotheses -- all welcome.

In reply to testosterone for ssri/snri sexual dysfunction?, posted by Kreedi on April 4, 2006, at 1:22:33
I was never perscribed it but I did take DHEA which is turned into Testosterone in the body and that did help. I am femaie but both men and women began to lose this hormone as we age. It's over the counter....try 50mg. Just my .02

> JHI was thinking about DHEA, since it's OTC (therefore easily available but almost certainly much less potent than the "real" stuff). So, to ask again, anyone use DHEA/testosterone for sexual dysfunction? Specifically, all you horny guys... once the depression cleared and you were horny again, did DHEA/testosterone/something else help you with maintaining erections and getting to the finish line before your partner fell asleep out of boredom or tiredness or impatience?
This is the end of the thread.
