Q: is there a drug that can be used instead of paxil that has less sexual side effects
The answer, Lynda, is a definite yes!
I had written an article about this very topic and Paxil was found to be one of the worst as far as sexual side effects.
Wellbutrin has consistently been touted as one antidepressant which does not the sexual side effects of other medications. Please read my article for a full list of choices.
Please do discuss options with your doctor. Everyone reacts differently to medications so what works for one person may not work for you.
Thank you for your question.
