In reply to Informal, unscientific survey- Sexual Side Effects, posted by Dinah on September 5, 2002, at 10:46:59
Hello Dinah,
Glad you are taking the initiative. I am on prozac for the past couple of years and my desire phase is left for good. (Dosage is 40 mg a day). I am engaging in sexual activity like a robot. Without true desire. Erection and ejaculation, both are not affected. But a sexual activity in the abscence of desire is nothing but a nonsense. Orgasm is not intense as it was before, as most of the times I realise the incidence (of ejaculation) when my erection subsides. It is a very funny medicine.
I had similar experience with zoloft also. But zoloft is a little more potent. It deprieved me from sex and I can't remember a single orgasm while I was on it.So good luck guys. Those who want to follow my steps are welcome. You have nothing to lose but your sexuality. Long live SSRIs!! Long live newer ADs similar to these!! Let the physicins prescribe them more fluently and keep antibenzo propaganda alive. Because off patent benzos don't benefit pharmaceutical companies. And I am sure phrmaceutical giants will be looking forward to form a new pill that will reverse the sexual side effects of SSRIs and similar ADs. Will it not be a great achievement? Be ready to hail!!
