In reply to Wich SSRI does not cause lost of sex drive???, posted by Tepiaca on January 7, 2003, at 16:46:30
All SSRIs are likely to cause loss of sex drive.
You have other options though.You could take Wellbutrin alone or along with the Zoloft, Wellbutrin usually reverses SSRI-induced sexual dysfunction and may actually cause improved sexual function.
You could take a 5-HT2 antagonist, maybe a low dose of Risperdal. SSRI induced sex problems come from increased activity at 5-HT2 sites. Of course, taking an anti-psychotic solely to treat a side effect may not be the most desirable idea.
Personally, I've found that Effexor - a SNRI - does not cause any signifigant change in sex drive. So you might wanna try Effexor, but there is still the chance it will dampen your libido.
