> Has anyone out there(especially women) been on Zoloft and experienced the sexual side effects (inability to climax or even have desire for sex)and then switched to Lexapro (or another SSRI) and had better luck? I need to stay with an SSRI because they work best for me. And yes, I tried Wellbutrin and it made me EXTREMELY IRRATABLE!! Zoloft works great for me for depression and anxiety but I've been putting up with the SSEs for years now and frankly I want to enjoy sex again!

I believe it is a common side effect of SSRI's & other drugs that raise Srotonin levels. Effexor causes me to have no orgasm, adding Remeron to Effexor fixes the problem. It hasn't fixed my loss of libido, but at least I can perform & enjoy it when asked. :) It's worth a go, especially if you have any sort of SSRI induced sleep problem.

Cheers,
Panda.
