Hi Doctor , 2 yrs back i had depression and was treated with Serotinin reuptake inibitors and dopamine affecting oral medication.After Few month i realized that my pleasure for sex or orgasm has vanished although erection has been there. I have feeling towards any sex act. Now its just an exercise for self being.
Hello thanks for asking from ChatDoctorYou have depression and were given SSRIs. The medicines resulted in sexual side effects like poor orgasm and lack of pleasure in sex. Now you have lack of libido, and you have discontinued the medicines. Sexual dysfunction caused by SSRIs is reversible, and it can't persist for long periods of time. So most likely the symptoms you are having are due to depression itself. In sexual dysfunction of depression medicines like Mirtazapine, Bupropion can prove useful. These medicines act as antidepressants and help in improving sexual dysfunction also. For poor libido medicines like Sildenafil, Tadalafil can be utilized. They help to improve symptoms of poor libido and erection. Herbal medicines like Wanted Forte, Yohimbin supplements also have good role in improving libido in sexual dysfunction of depression. Visit a psychiatrist for prescription of medicines. Thanks, hope this helps you.
