I too had a sexual addiction. About two years ago my p-doc put me on a SSRI (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors). The med she chose for me was Lexapro which has the least side effects of the SSRI group.

According to the website www.crazymeds.org (http://www.crazymeds.org) "# SSRIs are notorious for killing your libido, which in turn can be counterproductive in dealing with depression. Especially if you're in a relationship. Most especially if you're in a relationship with someone with bipolar hypersexuality, but no point in opening up some of our old issues. Of course the only thing I liked about SSRIs was that they dealt with my bipolar hypersexuality by eliminating my libido. Sometimes they'll leave your libido alone but interfere with you in other ways, like render you impotent or unable to have an orgasm.

Paxil (paroxetine hydrochloride) and Prozac (fluoxetine hydrochloride) are the worst offenders when it comes to this and Lexapro (escitalopram oxalate) seems to have the least problem with it."

As for me personally I've went from a rampant, sexual driven animal to a productive, happy, dad & husband. With a double shot of Viagra I can still barely get a hard on (just enough to keep my wife happy) and I would consider myself pretty much chemaically castrated. Basically SSRI's have left me impotent.

If that's what you want talk to your p-doc about it.

Hope that helps!
