Hello, I am a pharmacist from Oklahoma.

First of all, he should definitely NOT stop the drug without seeking his doctor's instructions. This is very critical, despite how others have responded to this question. The withdrawal from discontinuing anti-depressants can be worse than the problems he is currently experiencing.

Second, yes, sexual side-effects of anti-depressant medications are some of the most common and troublesome known. It is possible that he has difficulty with ejaculation even if he is not experiencing erectile dysfunction. If it is troublesome, have him discuss his options with his doctor. There may be alternate therapies that could reduce the side-effects that he is experiencing.

This is the huge common physical side affect from anitdepressents. In the past couple of years there have been many advances with antidepressents to overcome this problem. He first needs to tell his doctor of the situation. He may have to try three or four different antidepressents before he and his doctor find the one that has a correct balance of mental, emotional and physical benefits.

stop it Yeah I had a mate on anti-deppresants and it effected his sex life. I think there is a speed content in it. If your a guy who's ever tried to come when on speed you'll know this takes a pretty decent amount of effort


That is usually one of the sidee effect of anti-depressant drugs.
