Has anyone experienced sexual side effects while on sertraline? My doctor prescribed me 50mg but I’m scared to death of the sexual side effects, which I hear are common. I’m already anxious and depressed enough, I don’t want impotence to add to it!

I been on lexapro , sertraline , and Prozac. You be impotent lol but it might be harder to orgasm. I have trouble orgasming during sex on the meds, but can still finish myself. And sex still feels amazing. However , trust me Prozac started finally working for me anxiety and depression wise, that I don’t really care about the side effect. Now that I feel better my sex drive has even increased , I just can’t finish that easy lol

I would just be open to your doc about it. I didn’t feel sex at all on lexapro. I switched to zoloft and I’ve been on 50mg for over an a month and have felt increased sex drive and can still orgasm. Meds work differently for everyone I can’t promise zoloft will cause no sexual side effects if it does just talk to your doc :) they can play around with the dosage or switch. Don’t be afraid to speak up!

Won’t*

I was on sertraline 50mg and it lowered my sex drive quite a bit!Then I stopped cold turkey for a few months and I went a bit crazy.. I had several new partners and wanted to have sex all the time with a couple regular partners I had. Now I’m back on it and recently up’d my dose and my sex drive is all the way down again. I haven’t noticed a change in ability to orgasm it’s just the sex drive. So personally for me being on the meds has been great! Otherwise my drive is too high and I’m disgusted by that now lol
