Hi,
Namechanged for obvious reasons. I really need some help here on something very sensitive. My son has been on fluoxetine for 7 1/2 years. I have noticed that there has never been any evidence of any ejaculate on his sheets, and I saw a message from him to a friend saying that he couldn't come.
I had thought that this might be due to fluoxetine but assumed that it would resolve when he came off it. However I read this article at the weekend and have dug around a bit and the long term consequences are potentially horrifying ‘It feels like we’ve been lobotomised’: the possible sexual consequences of SSRIs | Mental health | The Guardian
I am really quite devastated at the moment and could do with a handhold while I work my way through this. I don't want to tell my son because googling this is bloody terrifying but when I asked my son how he felt about coming off fluoxetine he said he feels it is working for him.
I have asked CAMHS for a med review and put in a call to the GP but as I said, I would really love a handhold while I deal with my regret and fear around this. I am feeling pretty fragile right now
