In terms of supplements, I have had a lot of success using maca and especially tongkat ali in a strong form (1:200 Pasak Bumi extract from Indonesia). The tiny doses you see in health food store versions are not sufficient. I'm sure we aren't allowed to post commercial links here, but if you look around you should be able to find this for about $60 for 100 300mg capsules at this strength. Fish oil (pharmaceutical grade) is also useful.
I am now almost done with my second week of the new ssri Viibryd and, as promised, it does not seem to have any of the sexual side effects of the older ssris (I was on Celexa for a long time and found it numbing, which is why I started using the herbal supplements I mention above). In fact I am having difficulty concentrating at times due to sexual thoughts and sensations now! Have also gotten morning wood for the first time in ages. So if you are still on an ssri that is causing numbness you might want to try Viibryd instead.
