I hope it's ok to post this here. I just feel more comfortable doing so than on the meds board.

I've been taking Zoloft for about a month and have noticed some sexual side-effects. If anything my libido is improved but I can't seem able to become aroused anymore. Well, I become slightly aroused and that's it. I can't achieve orgasm. I've never had this problem before and it's definitely correlated with starting the zoloft. The ironic thing is that prior to this, I just wasn't interested in sex - low libido. Now, I have this problem I feel sexually frustrated. It's like smelling a delicious cake and feeling hungry but when biting into it it tastes of charcoal! Grrrr! In a way I feel relieved to feel 'sexual' again although I can't 'perform'.

The other problem is that this is the first AD I've taken that seems to be helping me in terms of my anxiety and depression. I took Celexa for a long while, highest dose, and it did absolutely nothing. The same for prozac.

Should I just put up with this? Should I talk to my pdoc about it (male pdoc - that's going to be embarrassing)? I see my T tomorrow (again male) and might try discussing it with him - I feel relatively comfortable with him.

Has anyone else experienced this side-effect - what were the options?

Thanks,
Onzi
