MY understanding was that the reason the drugs to cause sexual side effects (and apathy for that matter) is because they generally lower dopamine in certain limbic regions, and the brain stem.

I think too, that it is due to too much activation of the 5-ht2c receptor. This is why drugs like periactin, and mirtazapine block the sexual side effects.

But I don't think it is the molecule itself (since all strong serotogenics cause sexual side effects), but rather the effect of blocked reputkate.

I don't know what to make of it
