Most of the SSRI's cause a sexual problem that most men would love to have: delayed ejaculation.

SSRI's are a treatment for guys with premature ejaculation. A very small percentage of guys taking SSRI's will become anorgasmic.

That's just a sugar pill. Research shows a placebo exerts just as much of an effect.

Buspar is an antianxiety drug nonbenzodiaepine. It's short-term use is to relieve symptoms of anxiety due to motor tension, apprehension , automonic hyperactivity. Increased/decreased libido, delayed ejaculation are some of da side effects along with dizziness etc.. Up to two weeks may be required before beneficial antianxiety effects are manifested. It should be taken with food to avoid nausea. Over the counter meds and alcohol should be avoided.

I'm on Buspar, It use to delay my ejaculation (when I was having sex with another person.. that is) many times I didn't finish which started many arguments... The upside at least i didn't get her pregnant!! I couldn't imagine her in my life anymore.

My brother used that for a while, his face broke out really bad. Then again , it could have just been puberty

I am a certified nutrition consultant and I used Buspar years ago, anxiety and depression issues can be resolved with 2 supplements, B-complex as it is responsible for your central nervous system. 2nd one is called GABA and it is in capsule form at GNC in 750mg, my 14 yr old uses that especially during exam time. It works in about 30mins. If you need immediate results, open capsule and put in juice and drink it down. Good luck, C Allen, PSL, FL

I was unable to find studies to support either of your claims that B-complex and GABA help with anxiety. Can you please cite some references?

GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter. Benzodiazepines (Valium, Xanax), alcohol, barbiturates, etc. all stimulate GABA receptors through different pathways.

It is theoretical that GABA supplements can cause mood suppression and a calming effect. However, there is NO evidence that GABA is absorbed after oral ingestion. In fact, I'm sure pepsin and many other proteases will degrade it in the stomach.

shall I go on? I am not trying to scam or harm anyone, I have over 5 yrs of research and 2 yrs of education and I am a certified nutrition and wellness consultant. Not everyone needs meds, people can be just deficient in B vitamins, especially if under stress, which isn't everyone. And Gaba does help with anxiety...it is in every one of the books I indicated.

I agree, benzos are the way to go. I was on a low dose of ativan and i liked the instant effect it gave. And with me anyway and the sexual sides, i didnt take it every day so that helped.

I meant scientific, peer-reviewed studies.

Sorry for the delay in response. Been overseas for a few weeks.

Merry Christmas to you swatdoc, sorry to annoy a fellow New englander where i lived most of my life, what book references by known doctors and my nutrition books written by doctors who work at tufts are not good references. Sports Nutrition and Performance distributed by American fitness Professionals and associates in New Jersey, to who I studied to become a certified nutritionist. Look, I come on this website to help others through my experience and have helped several clients with this problem so that is all i try to do...I wish people would lighten up and these ratings of people kharma wise. I am in negative #s but that does not matter, I am trying to help others not to bs anyone. MERRY CHRISTMAS!
