Thanks for your message, SometimesBlue, but my friend has never suffered from depression.
The only reason he was given Remeron was because of OCD. He had a pretty healthy sexual life before taking that antidepressant. He never had issues with sex or depression prior to Remeron.
So I cannot assume that Remeron TURNED my happy friend into a depressive, and that such "post-Remeron-induced-depression" is causing sexual dysfunction.
Does that make any sense? Not to me. Lots of people seem to want to jump to that conclusion, but it really makes no sense because he had a healthy sexual life, and no depression, before taking the medication.
It seems to me that the explanation is simple: The medication for OCD (Remeron) altered in some way my friend's neural receptors messing with his sexual functionality.
Thank you for your message, though. I know that depression can also cause sexual dysfunction, although I honestly think this is not the case here.
