Suggest Anti-depressants That Do Not Have Sexual Side Effects
Question: Are there any anti-depressants that don't have sexual side effects?
Brief Answer:
unfortunately all have potential side effects
Detailed Answer:
HI , thanks for using healthcare magic
Unfortunately all of them have possible sexual side effects.
Those with the lowest rate of side effects are wellbutrin (which you have tried), mirtazpine and vilazodone.
The medications classed as SSRI (prozac, paxil, zoloft) all commonly cause sexual side effects unfortunately.
In some cases, adjustment of the doses to a strength that may still be effective, may help reduce the side effect but this should only be done in consultation with your doctor.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
