Has anyone found a way to deal with these side effects (female)...without going off meds?

It's a salviary gland stimulant. It'll produce saliva. I take it 3-4 times a day. I have terrible dry mouth otherwise.
As for Sexual Dysfunction, you can try adding wellbutrin to your antidepressant, or switching to it if you're taking an antidepressant.

Hi utopizen,
I hope you are doing well:-)
Can I ask you what you meant by 'As for Sexual Dysfunction, you can try adding wellbutrin to your antidepressant, or switching to it if you're taking an antidepressant'
Does Wellbutrin have less sexual side effects??
Just getting ready for my doc appt tomorrow-getting all the experiences I can muster up:-)
Thanks, Kristen

Hi all- I take 60mg Gingko Biloba for the sexual dysfunction. It seems to be helping in that area. Any Gingko from a drugstore. I have done a lot of research on that subject! My doctor gave me Wellbutrin to take with my Prozac. I personally didn't like it. The Wellbutrin is supposed to get rid of the side effect when taken with the med that causes it. Good luck.
