Personally, I wouldn't be comfortable relying on this site for monitoring my mental health.

If you're not looking for any honest discussion, agreement, meeting halfway or middle ground, don't bother arguing with me. Selfish narcissists need not apply.

I take Citalopram and it's been great for me.

I'm still lazy and procrastinate, but I haven't had a shred of depression or anxiety in MONTHS. Which means I'm the same person but I don't want to kill myself and I don't get nervous doing new things anymore.

There has been one side effect, my sex drive has dropped to near nothing. My girlfriend has to force me to have sex with her half the time lol.

Honestly it could be different for prostate orgasms. I never thought about that.

I have Escitalopram. The sex stuff is my main concern, I dunno if I can take that side effect. We'll see.

I'll drink more carefully I guess. You can still do it, but it's not recommended (like with any medicine).

As long as you're self-aware of it you're fine. It's not that you don't want to have sex, it's just that you don't think about it as much.

You should talk to your doctor about your sexual concerns. There are ways to help minimize the effects like adding bupropion (didn't work for me but apparently works for most) and there are all sorts of different SSRIs and SNRIs to try.

I've taken 4, and in order of most to least sexual dysfunction:

Duloxetine
Venlafaxine
Sertraline
Escitalopram

But everyone is different. I've heard the opposite about this ranking too. In the end, my best advice to you is don't research it to death and save any questions for the doctor.

Well, I've been on Zoloft since I was a kid because I used to have really bad anxiety and OCD tendencies/ticks. :u The Zoloft really has helped with that, but I don't have much of a sex drive. But I'm not sure if that's just how I am or a side effect of the Zoloft.

If you turn into a prude we'll know the answer.
