I am a 28 y/o male. After going off of Zoloft for about a month, my anxiety came back as a wrecking ball. It is debilitating and extremely difficult to handle for me. This is the third time I stop Zoloft (with medical advice and not cold turkey), and the first landed me in the hospital, the second almost. I decided to take the risk again and changed it for Lamictal as my Dr. suggested. However, I am regretting my decision so much.

I have decided to go back to taking it. Third day, and currently have the normal nausea and dizziness that happens when I start it, but my main concern are the sexual side effects that I know are coming. Last time I was on it, 6/10 times I was unable to orgasm, libido was low, and the last couple months erections were weaker. However, I have realized that  just cannot function without this medicine, and I what is the point of functioning well in bed, if I am unable to function in any other area of my life without the meds.

I know many people have experienced this nasty side effects, but I was wondering if you can share any advice on how you handle them and if there is anything that allows you to enjoy sex at least to a level close as before the meds. Is there any advice you can share? (by the way, I have tried wellbutrin for the side effects, doesn'thelp me).
