Addiction Medicine Specialist Dr. Preeti Parakh's  Response
Hi,

It is true that some people have sexual dysfunction from the medicines used to treat depression. However, there is the option of using medicines which do not cause such severe side effects. Bupropion and mirtazapine do not cause sexual side effects and can be safely used by you. It also needs to be assessed if the sexual dysfunction is due to medications or due to depression itself.

Hope this helps you. Best wishes.
