My GYN has recommended that I take 80mgs of Ginko Biloba 3 times a day to conteract the sexual side effects of Pristiq. (Yes, no matter what the drug company says, it acts just like every other SSRI I've been on.) Anybody have any experience with adding Ginko?

I haven't heard of Ginko helping with sexual side effects. I did try it myself, 60mgs 3 times a day, for help with cognition/memory, but it gave me headaches. I take Lexapro and Lamictal. herpills

trials were mixed. its worth a try, though generally id say more evidence for bupropion/selegiline; pde5i; and 5ht2 antagonist
