Re: Incidence of sexual dysfunction associated with antidepressant agents

[Guest guest]

It's what i've always suspected, citalopram is the worst. With 72,7% .

This is the same working group that posted the study about PSSD, from

Salamanca in Spain. Perhaps this working group is independent and can

research freely without the pharmaceutical industry breathing down

their necks 24/7.

What study of PSSD are you refering to? They have never studied PSSD

deliberately as far as I know. As I mentioned in my previous post, Dr.

Montejo does not beleieve that PSSD exists, even to the extent of

refusing to accept what his own data is telling him. He flat-out

denied that PSSD was possible in an email exchange I had with him.

What does that say about his integrity, or ability as a scientist?

It's my bad. I misread the other Montejo study that was posted earlier

on as being about sexual dysfunction after discontinuing while it was

actually about sexual dysfunction while still on antidepressants.

Did dr. Montejo state that PSSD is not yet proved or that PPSD is

proved to not exist? The latter statement can IMO only be made

plausible in extensive longitudinal research.

What was the argumentation of dr. Montejo for his statement about

PSSD? His study on sexual side effects of SSRIs is very critical about

SSRIs, stating that there is a very high incidence of longterm sexual

side effects during SSRI treatment.

It would be great if he would join the discussions on this support

group. I respect your careful approach, but IMHO it is crucial that we

try to establish good relationships with the few scientists in this

highly specialized field of research.

citalopram has the longest half life of all the srris i think.

i only took it for about two weeks.

scientists are reluctant to stick there neck on the line, especially

when they are thinking who might commission there next line of

research!
