Anyone here ever notice that one doesn't feel like having sex on antidepressants? I wonder if its because the sex drive is part of the sickness and gets cured or because of side effects?
Actually for a girl its true too ... not the erection part .. but getting aroused in general. I tried them for a little while and yeah, my boyfriend was getting frustrated so I stopped taking them.
that is not totally true, i have been on an antidepessant for about 5 years now and have never had any problems. Yes alot of the antidepressants have that side effect, but the people that I know that take Lexapro don't have any problems. Ask your doctor if there are other alternitives. Good luck.
It depends on the antidepressant, I think. Some have stronger "sexual side effects" than others. Talking to your doctor is a good idea -- a different medication may help. Even a generic version of the same drug may have slightly different side effects (I experienced that with a medication I was on -- the side effects seemed worse with the name brand than with the generic!)
