Question:
Sexual disfunction… your right!! I hate that problem…
It’s one of the great drawbacvks of many ADs for many (not for everyone though). A *drug holiday* may work – don’t take the AD for one day. Hopefully you won’t experience withdrawal symptoms and be able to have sex (consult the doc first!) Apart from Buspar low dose Wellbutrin might help too. Or *Gingko Biloba*. Ask the doctor. Don’t try *Yohimbine*. Philip – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Is there any harm in adding buspar to cymbalta or effexor? I am going to talk with my doc about this on tuesday. I know there has been extensive testing on adding buspar to ssri’s, but I am just not sure if there are any potential issues with adding it to cymbalta or effexor that I am unaware of. Thanks so much. Jamie Why would you want to add Buspar? (The only reason I can think of is that once in every blue moon you hear it may alleviate AD-induced sexual dysfunction.) AFAIK there’s no problem in taking these together but that’s what you have your pdoc for (and if you want to be 200% sure ytou can ask your pharmacist).

It may cause high blood pressure and heart problems, it is contraindicated with depression and interacts with a number of meds (although OTC meds). I would ever use it without consulting a pdoc wirth his salt. But people *do* take it and is can be rather effective or so I’ve heard. Taking a med = taking a risk. Everybody must decide that for himself (*with* a doctor). Philip – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Sexual disfunction… your right!!

I guess the real question is, does it really help that much that it is worth any risk at all? It may cause high blood pressure and heart problems, it is contraindicated with depression and interacts with a number of meds (although OTC meds).

Encephale. 1996 Dec;22 Spec No 5:35-41. From *inducers of panic attack* to neurobiology of panic disorder
Bourin M. Groupe de Recherche Neurobiologie de l’anxiete, Universite de Nantes. Various provocative agents, including sodium lactate, carbon dioxide (CO2), caffeine, *yohimbine* and cholecystokinin (CCK), have been utilized as *panicogenics* in studies on healthy volunteers as well as in panic disorder patients. Most provocative agents are lacking in specificity, limiting their use in identifying neurotransmitter systems involved in panic attacks. CCK appears to offer several advantages over other challenge strategies since it is a putative neurotransmitter in the CNS, with its own neuronal pathways and receptors, and reliably provokes panic attacks in a dose-dependent manner. It is important to clarify the relationships between CCK and other neurotransmitter systems in order to further understand the neurobiology of panic disorder. The possible roles of some of these neurotransmitters in panic disorder are discussed in this review.

I don’t know the answer to that. AFAIK it works for some and not for others, like everything… P.

Dear Jamie, Of course only your doctor can tell you whether buspar would be good for you or not, but as far as I know, buspar is not contraindicated with either med. Why do you want to add buspar? In my opinion, a better way to handle your increased anxiety is to work on your thoughts and personal issues, such as your relationship with Amy. Sometimes we expect meds to do too much for us.

Honestly, I am getting sick of some of the side effects of the anti-depressants, and I read some studies that showed that buspur not only helped somewith anxeity, but it also reduced the side effects of anti-depressants, and it enhanced the effectivness of anti-depressants. Yes, I am deffinatly going to keep working though these issues. I do have the problem of limited availability of healt care professionals at this point however, but I am still working on it. Getting everything out, and wrtten down was a good first step for me, it got all that crap out of my head. jamie
