PCa Depression, ED, SSR anti-depression drugs and reduced libido ?
Q.It shouldn't, it's not an SSR. But not everyone responds the same to these drugs, that's why most people wind up going thru 2 or 3 different ones to find one that seems to work.
A.Just thought I'd pass on the results of my personal research. I have been on anti depressants twice in my life. About 10 years ago I was on Zoloft and currently am on Efexxor. Current depression was from having prostate cancer and the side effect of erectile dysfunction. As many or most of you know, the SSR anti-depressant drugs tend to interfere with sexual function and in particular with the ability to orgasm. Both times I have been on these drugs I have definitely noticed they have that effect. In the most recent case, I had not had a decent orgasm in over a month and they were very hard to achieve. My recollection from 10 years ago was that if I stopped taking the zoloft just for a couple days that I would then be able to have a very good orgasm. So I tried it with the Efexxor. I didn't take it for two days and last night FINALLY had an orgasm worth having and didn't have to work like hell to have it. So if any of you are on an SSR drug and are having orgasm issues you might try laying off the drug for one or two days and seeing if that helps.
