Zillhouse, yes-try the Buspirone for sure. Buspar doesn't have sexual side effects...according to many users.
Scott: "you might try Effexor. I think it has less liability to produce sexual side effects"
Please don't give Effexor a good name in the sexual department (unless you like taking 2 hours to climax if you can at all)--it is the worst of all the xxRIs for sexual side effects! I know I'm not the only one who thinks that. It can be negated by Wellbutrin for some people.
I'd def. tell everyone to try Buspar. Of course--that's what I take. lol. No, really, I like it because I get almost no side effects at all and it doesn't feel like I'm on a drug. I have to augment w/Xanax at times though. But for me, I don't think it would help with the sexual side effects with an SSRI/paxil, though I read someone's comment here that buspirone can increase libido, it did not do that for me. I doubt it, but you never know i guess.
I have GAD and wellbutrin never caused anxiety for me. I'd get anxiety, however, with thoughts of having to take something like Paxil...
