Struggling with Antidepressant Side Effects

@diana1999 I switched to duloxetine

@Foxface if you don’t mind me asking what did you switch to? I took Citalopram for a while and it made my depression much worse I tried to take Zoloft also but was only able to take it for about a week because it made me feel like I was choking. Effexor is the only medicine I’ve taken that has worked and it’s so unfortunate because the only side effect I experience is sexual. It seems the longer I’m on it the worse it gets. Used to it was just difficulty orgasming but now I have little to no desire for sex at all. It’s so discouraging… 😞

I had the same problem and nothing helped it until i switched medications

I've had the same problem with prozac and when I brought it up to my psychiatrist he prescribed me buspar which is an anxiety med but it increases libido. my brother takes it without the prozac and he said it gets too much but with an antidepressant is evens out

I rarely could orgasm when on one of my antidepressants (can’t remember which one, maybe lexapro?) and it did make me feel insecure. Talking to my partner at the time helped and focusing on things that we enjoyed that werent sex related helped! Sexual side effects are very common. I’m sorry you’re struggling right now, you’re not alone!
