Tags: Anxiety, libido, psychiatrist, wellbutrin

Every time when I am about to have sex I panic.This problem is destroying me, I am thinking about it all the time.Can medication help, like Paxil or something , or does that and other similar drugs have bad influence on my libido or potention?

Try having a glass of red wine. Red wine is very calming. If that doesn't help, talk to your partner and maybe see a therapist as a last resort.

Paxil and other SSRI's lower your sexual drive...

There are medications like Wellbutrin which is not suppose to have sexual side effects...same with some other newer meds that are out. Check with a psychiatrist for the answers. Best to you..
