In reply to Which SSRI causes least sexual dysfunction in men?, posted by jp on October 11, 1999, at 15:46:54
I've heard Luvox causes less sexual dysfunction in general, and read as much in some
abstracts. However, I've also seen references where Luvox caused just as much sexual
dysfunction as any other SSRI. Go figure.My experiences:
Zoloft: Could do it, but it took forever, and it was difficult to even want to drag
it out for the hour or whatever that it took. Frustrating for both of us (lubrication
only lasts so long). Plus, I gained like 30 pounds on Zoloft. I felt oh-so-sexy after
that.Effexor: Not an SSRI per se, but mostly, and caused even more dysfunction for me than
Zoloft did. Lack of desire. Could "get there" only about 20% of the time. I pretty
much gave up on sex. Did wonders for my personal life.Celexa: Complete, total anorgasmia combined with a strangely less severe impact on libido
than either Zoloft of Effexor. This was just a joy, as I'm sure you can guess. As my
doctor summed it up: "So you can point, but you can's shoot." Tried ginko. Did zero.
Didn't bother with the other remedies. Just got off Celexa. Didn't do anything mood-wise
for me anyway.> Hello,
