> Hi,
> has anyone, male or female used herbs to counter act the sexual dysfuntion of being on antidepressants? and has anyone found relief? i just ordered some liq. herbs over the net for this and just started taking the stuff today and it is the worst stuff in the world!

> any advice would be wonderful...
> T~I've tried most of them. For the most part they were not effective in any way. The only one that is effective, in my experience, is Yohimbe. A good strong dose of it a couple hours before anticipated sex, or regular small doses daily with a booster dose before sex.
The problem with Yohimnbe is its own side effects. It can cause anxiety and insomnia. For the dose to be powerfull enough to do what you want it to do, you'll definitely feel like you're on something. It's a very powerfull herb. It is effective. But you have to be prepared to be 'wired' for a few hours after taking it. The sex part is great. But the couple hours before and after is a little weirdish.
