To not enjoy sex whilst on antidepressants

[CrazyFoxLady]

So... I've been on various antidepressants over the years... currently on citalopram. I've got absolutely no sex drive whatsoever and can't even orgasm on my own anymore. AIBU or anyone else the same? Don't want to come off them as I'm otherwise ok, just got this problem that's slightly depressing. Are there any antidepressants that don't make you feel like this? I don't feel that I can bother my GP with this when there are so many other more important matters going on in the world! I just really want to hear from anyone who feels the same. Sorry I'm a newbie, and maybe should've posted elsewhere xxx

I have exactly the same issue. Can’t offer any help but will read comments from people who may have a solution with interest. The trouble is I’ve tried a few different ad’s and they all seem to have had the same effect. I don’t want to switch again because this issue aside, the current ad I am on has been the best so far.

Exactly the same here. We're going away for my 50th next year and I'm going to ask the GP if they have anything that could increase my libido whilst we're away! Been like this since my youngest, who's now 11.

I’ve found the same, it’s ruined my previously high sex drive. I find warning myself up a bit in private can help, as can planned nights

Not exactly the same as I was on setraline but still a similar kind of AD. Has exactly the same problem though 😞

Bf at the time was on the same ones and lost all interest in me sexually. I still had the urge but could not orgasm, even alone. In the end I had to come off them because a sex drive and a sex life is just too important to me to give up. I didn't feel like myself and I hated it so I came off them and broke up with the boyfriend.

Same. It's horribly common. I'm lucky enough to be off them now, it all came back thankfully.
