Description

SSRI and SNRI sexual problems do not necessarily stop when the antidepressant is discontinued.

Also, most surprisingly(!):
"Post-market prevalence studies have found ... sexual side effects occur at dramatically higher rates than initially reported in pre-market trials"


This mirrors the position with anti-psychotics. Sexual problems also persist, both on reduced doses of these drugs, and when the drug is completely discontinued.

See my comments on this document for some things that I have found to work:

Ginkgo Biloba Extract in the Treatment of Anti-Depressant-Induced Sexual Dysfunction (also works for anti-psychotic drugs)
