03 Nov 2014	Lofepramine gives me fewer unpleasant side-effects than most other antidepressants (and I have tried most of them). The only real problems I have are: needing to urinate frequently, impeded flow or urine, achey reproductive organs after ejaculation, and mild insomnia. —Posted by Aldeveron Respond Display Name: Email: (Required) Notify me of new comments Email me monthly survey results Sending...

24 May 2014	Not sure if I like it. its better in I don't feel so lethargic as I did with others I had tried, But the disturbed sleep pattern , trouble urinating , and low sex drive and erectile dysfunction is a problem —Posted by Anonymous Respond Display Name: Email: (Required) Notify me of new comments Email me monthly survey results Sending...
