The truth about Antidepressants and Sexual Dysfunction.

The truth about Antidepressants and Sexual Dysfunction.

The Nasty Little Secrets behind the SSRIs

What they Never Tell You about Antidepressants. 


Almost every day now, or so it seems to me, I am hearing from young people who are taking antidepressant drugs and who are suffering from a sexual dysfunction as a direct consequence. In men their dysfunction may be erectile dysfunction, loss of libido or sex drive, loss of sensation during ejaculation or loss of ability to climax at all. In women their situation may be similar – loss of interest in matters sexual, an inability to feel orgasm when it eventually arrives, or, worst of all, an inability to reach orgasm at all. These, I think you will have to agree, are pretty devastating side effects for a single drug to have.

When you get your antidepressant dispensed to you by your friendly Community Pharmacist there will be, tucked inside the box, a Patient Information Leaflet. This is an EU or FDA generated document that is supposed to mean something. It is supposed to impart at least some useful information. Let’s look at it for Prozac then, the most popular antidepressant of them all. Under side effects in the category
• Urogenital System and Reproductive Disorders : we have: difficulty in passing urine, passing urine too frequently, poor sexual performance, prolonged erections and the production of breast milk.

Then, under this misinformation there is even more untruths:

Most of these side-effects are likely to disappear with continued treatment.

This leaflet was last approved by the FDA and the MHRA (UK) in October 2010. No mention of female inability to orgasm, no mention of male ejaculatory failure, no mention of sexual anhedonia or sexual anaesthesia in both men and women and no mention of loss of libido or sex drive in both men and women. All the consumer of modern antidepressants is being told is that there maybe some poor sexual performance. This is meaningless, unfair and disingenuous. But unfortunately, it gets much worse.

Clearly the manufactures of these antidepressants want the consumers to continue consuming in spite of obvious side-effects. To do this they mislead them even further by asserting:

Most of these side-effects are likely to disappear with continued treatment.

With respect to the negative sexual effects of the SSRI antidepressants these most certainly do not disappear with continued use. In fact it has been my experience that they get progressively worse with continued use. And not alone that, and this is the really shocking bit, the negative side-effects on human sexuality that modern antidepressants can have, do not disappear even long after the medication has been stopped. Doctors who treat sexual dysfunction on a regular bases as I do, are beginning to now recognise a new post SSRI phenomenon called Persistent Sexual Anaesthesia. In my view it is nothing short of criminal that this possibility is not even hinted at on the Patient’s Instruction Leaflet that comes with the drugs.

If your sex-life has been adversely affected in any way by antidepressants then I would welcome hearing from you. The more people that know about this the better.

  4. An erection starts with sensory motivation (for whatever reason), which causes impulses to travel from the brain to spinal cord and then right down to the nerves in the penis area.

    On receiving the impulses, the penile nerves relax causing blood to flow into the spongy tissues that are situated in the penis. The pressure caused by the blood flow leads to an erection. defining bestmaleenhancement.me site

  5. Just like alcohol, drugs impact sexual performance severely. Recreational drugs and opioids are particularly to blame for erectile response and sexual stamina issues.

    Opioids are a class of drugs usually prescribed to individuals that deal with intense pain. These include methadone and morphine, among many others.

    Keep in mind that these drugs can also lead to decreased libido and a medley of additional sexual problems. If you’re concerned about abusing prescription medications or another type of drugs, you’ll need to talk to a professional about it. fuller prosolution plus

  7. When it comes to reproductive health, few men take the time to think about semen and the role that it plays in their sexual potency. Semen or ejaculate is the fluid that carries the sperm cells, enabling pregnancy after intercourse. best volume website

  8. People who consume larger quantities of alcohol need sufficient amounts of l-valine in their system. The amino acid can correct some of the severe nutritional deficiencies that result from alcoholism and even from drug abuse.

    L-valine also strengthens the functioning of the immune system, it reduces nervousness and acts as a mood enhancer, speeds up brain function and prevents cognitive decline, reduces the effects of stress and cortisol, acts as a powerful appetite suppressant and can be used as a natural remedy for insomnia and sleep disorders. dependent male extra review

  9. Testosterone is incredibly important for keeping a healthy body. The primary male hormone isn’t important just for reproduction and sexual health.

    It plays a role in many processes, which is why a testosterone decline in the 50s and 60s of a man can lead to the first signs of aging. this male review site

  11. I'm 52 years old and am on 3 ssri medications and busparsone. I have been reducing my busparsone and am down to 20mg daily. I started using ssri's at 23 and have had sexual problems ever since now I'm chemically castrated from these medications and no longer can get erection even with Cialis daily no ejaculation orgasms and very little sensation in my peniy. I just found out about why I have been experiencing these problems to do when I found an article on sex offenders and chemical castration by ssri's I'm on trt and feel tired most of the time and have no desires or motivations at all I'm emotionally flat and keep to myself. I was never told about the side effects of the medications I've been taking for decades. The sexual side effects have left me sexual and physicality numb and I just found out that the longer you take the medications the side effects become permanent. So now I'll be learning how to live with being an eunuch for the rest of my life.
