Hello Friends,
One of my doctors alerted me to the effect antidepressants can have on sexual function. I looked into it here are there highlights of what I discovered.
Antidepressants can cause sexual side effects in both men and women, including:
- Decreased sexual desire
Decreased sexual excitement
Delayed or diminished orgasm
Erection problems
Problems with arousal, comfort, and satisfaction
Delayed lubrication
Discomfort during sex
Decreased libido
Trouble maintaining an erection - Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are antidepressants that are most likely to cause sexual side effects, including paroxetine (Paxil), fluoxetine (Prozac), sertraline (Zoloft), escitalopram (Lexapro), and citalopram (Celexa). In one study, paroxetine had the highest rate of sexual dysfunction among SSRIs, with 65% of clients experiencing side effects. Other SSRIs, such as fluvoxamine (Luvox), also cause up to half of patients to report a decline in libido. Google
