Dear Lybrate user
Yes therapy has provided great results in any kind of addiction. Addiction is psychological and thus psychotherapy is supposed to be taken. I have had many clients who have got rid off their addiction. As there are some causes for any addiction and until and unless those causes are not resolved the addiction will not go away. Thats the reason many people get addicted again after they come back from deaddiction centers.
You can contact me for more information.

1) Nicotine replacement therapy. Nicotine gum, patches, inhalers, sprays, and lozenges are nicotine replacement therapies. They work by giving you nicotine without the use of tobacco. You may be more likely to quit with nicotine replacement therapy, but it works best when combined with behavioral therapy and lots of support from friends and family.

Hi lybrate-user. I understand your worry about the possibility of this side effect. But antidepressants cause erectile dysfunction will be very gross and generalised statement. Though sertraline, the drug you r taking, has a risk of sexual dysfunction in some patients, it is not as common as you think and you need not worry about it as if it happens, it is not irreversible. Treatment can be supplemented with drugs like bupropion which will reverse sexual dysfunction or even on changing sertralin...more

Dear lybrate-user,
erectile dysfunction is common with paroxetine. Please discuss your sexual problem with your doctor. Either he may switch to another antidepressant or add viagra kind of tablet, if you don't have any medical contraindication.

Hi, I can understand that there is a dilemma between getting adequate response from medication and getting relief from sexual adverse effects. I believe you have already discussed this issue with your psychiatrist and buspirone might have been added for this reason. If you want to stay on paroxetine, then other potential options are either decreasing dose of paroxetine (provided your depressive symptoms are under control) or adding a different medication such as bupropion or mirtazapine etc. Ins...more

Dear , since you are overweight for your height. I suggest you try different antidepressant instead. Paroxetine is linked to weight gain and dry mouth.
I suggest you ask your psychiatrist if he can give you other antidepressants that actually help reduce weight such as bupropion, fluoxetine etc.
I wish you all the best.
