iv been taking seroquel, and for me has no side effects sexual as SSRI's. But if you take it before bed, and wait and have sex, seroquel in my opinon will lower libido, due to the dopamine blockade and histamine release. it has very very slight or if any reuptake of 5ht. So it wont effect libido. It does block 5ht2a receptors but doesnt account on libio. PLus seroquel has a short half life, 6-8 hrs, so after that, if such side effect existed, they would dissipate. Remeron, which is suppose to be side effect free, had lessened my libido worse than seroquel, but im only on 50mg at bed.
