Currently taking:
Geodon Prozac Lamictal ER Xanax Propanalol Can't seem to get aroused without inflicting pain on myself. Could it be from these drugs? I'm honestly not concerned but my t is. I don't see myself doing anything sexual with a partner anytime soon so I don't see the big deal but t wants me to develop a healthy sexuality. But I really don't want a med change, I don't feel it's worth it. But still wondering anyway. |

Most probably culprit is Prozac. It's an SSRI and SSRIs are known for causing sexual dysfunction.

Yeah I haven't tried Geodon but out of the others, Prozac was the only one that possibly gave me issues, and the one that seems to most commonly cause issues.

I agree, Prozac. Adding Wellbutrin offsets it for some people...the sexual side effects of SSRI's.

I also believe it must be Prozac, it being an SSRI, and sexual dysfunction is kind of common on those drugs. I experienced that back when I was taking Zoloft (also an SSRI) where arousal took a while and it was much more difficult to climax (sorry for the TMI).
Oh, and yes, once I was on Wellbutrin with the Zoloft to wipe out the sexual dysfunction side effects from Zoloft, and luckily, it did work. But then I had to discontinue Zoloft/Wellbutrin for it inducing mania- even with my mood stabilizers in place. This often isn't an issue with people though, but if you are Bipolar Type 1 or have a history of full-blown mania, just be aware if you notice any warning signs.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
