Halp. I started taking antidepressants about a year ago. It has

No idea, but that's something you should bring to your doc, not to 4chan. Maybe it's a side effect.

Its a side effect in some people. Same thing happened to me when I was on Zoloft. So I changed to Lexapro, it got better but still wasn't completely normal. Switched to Welbutrin, now my dick works but it didn't have the same antidepressant effect on me as the other two, so I started meditation/therapy/cardio as adjuncts. What are you on? There's other meds you can try

My family doctor is semi-retired, he's a great guy but it takes me forever to get to see him, my appointment is for later this month. I'm just fucking pissed right now, I could have gotten some poon last night.

Quit the antidepressants. ED (or sexual dysfunction in women) are a VERY common side effect that can have VERY long lasting effects after quitting. Look up some stuff about it.

I'm taking Celexa. My doc tried me on several other drugs, Zoloft was one of them, but they didn't work. Celexa is having the desired effect in terms of anxiety and depression, but I cant have sex. It's very frustrating.

I just got a prescription for Wellbutrin for this very reason. I have friends on anti-depressants,one is on Celexa, one is on Lexapro and neither of them can get it up. My doctor suggested Celexa, but I just asked for Wellbutrin.

If it's gonna scare you straight, I'll tell you this. I was on an antidepressant for 2 months, 30 mg, dick stopped working completely for that time, felt like a zombie. Thought quitting it was gonna resolve everything.


Noooope. I was in for a fucking big surprise. It took me 3 years of steady progress for my dick to start working again and I'm still not 100% sensitive as before. Don't believe me? Look up PSSD and search at the surviving antidepressants forum. Do with this info as you will, you have been warned.

good luck

If it's any consolation, I'm 90-95% better than I was back then functionally, sensitivity has improved much less (still better on some days though) and I notice progress annually so I guess I need a few more years if it's going to come back 100%.

But do you wanna risk it? Some cases like mine get better, some don't. your choice my man

Not only is ED a side effect of Anti-depressants, it's almost like a blood sacrifice.

If you want a normal sex life, you can't be on SSRIs/antis. Enough said.


I had some luck using kava and weed for my depression, occasional bottle of red wine and psychedelic trip. The antis and stimulants fucked me up.

it could be the meds but also porn if you watch it. stop watching porn and see if it helps

Nah, that isn't the issue. My overall sex drive has gone down over the past year, I haven't downloaded anything to my porn folder in months.

Normal side effect for many antidepressants .. the drug is meant for getting you upside again, which it did in my case with assistance from psychologists etc .. never had this problem - a couple of other sideeffects I got hit by has turned permanent though. But as I would probably have shot myself at some point without it was well worth the risk and the permanent damage

I still have some trouble with this, I was on antidepressants for about two years but unfortunately every now and then my dick just says 'nope not tonight'. I found a lot of it is purely mental though. It's a very real side affect, yes, but if I try not to worry about it then chances are it'll actually work. It's a bit of a bummer but weighing it up I'd rather deal with this problem and be alive than never have taken the antidepressants which helped save my life.
