Question/Comment:
I've been on paxil for over ten yrs. As aresult I'm now able to leave the house & i don't cry at the drop of a hat but my sex drive is GONE & so is my husband & my last boyfriend. I would love to get my libido back so i can have anormal life. I've tried adding wellbutrin but it didn't help.
