Well it effects people differently so I'd go ahead & give it a shot if you think it's the appropriate thing for your condition. If you never tried other SSRI's I'd probably suggest starting with Prozac first because it's easier to get off of. If you never tried anything before there are drugs like wellbutrin that are more likely to make you eat less and improve sex but those are generally not as effective on depression.... but might work for you so should be tried first. I don't know your situation & I'm not an expert but that's my advice.
For me the sexual side effects went away in a week and sex was better than before. Some people lose weight on it.
