Anyone here take prozac????
 

Does it cause loss of interest in sex? I just started taking it, and turned down TWO booty calls today.....I had absolutley no interest in sex what so ever! Is this normal with prozac??? If it is, what's a better suggestion to take that doesn't cause this??? Thanks!

well with my medication. i have a very low sex drive. i only jerk off like once or twice a month.

i just dont care :p

even looking at all the porn doesnt even do it

i have heard from many people it does

I probably should be on some form on medication with all the worrying and paranoia I have. I need a referral to a psychologist to talk out my problems at least I can admit it. I got problems, I worry too much for my own good. I just havent made that key appoinment yet.

Is there anything better to take? Without this side affect??? This is pretty major for me, I know something is not right!

It is amazing depression medicine.. It makes you happy happy.. but you have little to no intrest in sex..

I haven't quite found the happy happy yet......just no desire for sex??????? And that is totally wierd for me!

Seriously, I know there are quite a few people here that take anti depressants......if you don't want to post it on gfy, icq me. I'd love to here some other suggestions! I personally, don't think there is anything wrong with it, but I know some do! :thumbsup

im taking an anti-depressant but it also has other effects, like curing insomina (which is the reason my doc put me on it).

anyways, im not sure how similiar my meds are from prozac, but i've been MORE horny than ever LMAO :winkwink:

I took it for migraines - it made me depressed. Dr. said that's a reaction for a small percentage of people. So no, I had no interest in sex - I was too depressed, lol! But I stopped taking it after 10 days when I realized what it was doing to me.

The Dr. just put me on something (Levpro maybe? Too lazy to go downstairs and find out) for "situational depression". 3 weeks and it hasn't done shit, but I don't think my "situation" is something a pill is going to help. It hasn't affected my sex drive though so I'll get the name if you want it :)

Im taking anoter SSRI medicin called paroxetine/paxil/seroxat.
Im as horny as I used to be but I have a VERY hard time to get a orgasm...

I was on Prozac and it had the same effect.....

Im now on Venlafaxine and although Im not my usual self sexually Im not as bad as with the Prozac.

Venlafaxine is great stuff, but dont bother unless you plan to use it long term. Its an absolute bastard to stop taking. I tried a few years back in NZ and ended up on a psyc unit for 6 weeks. Im pretty much on it for the rest of my life.

Hey dude, I'm on paxil too.. How is it working out for ya? I find it very hard to concentrate on work :\

happy pills....
 

...reading htis thread i was gonna say bummer for the person on seroxat. I came off that and went loopy for about 6 months. It's well documented for causing problems such as non suicidal people topping themselves after starting taking it. Probably bad doctors advice. Any SSRI you need to take for at least 3 weeks before you will notice any affects and at least 6 months for it to work properly. They're not a quick fix. One of which is general decline in sex drive. In my case I didn't get horny so easily, or come as quickly, and sometimes couldn't keep it up despite being hard at it.

On Venlafaxine now, seems to be better. One of the newer SSRI's so a bit more "advanced" i believe. Bummer to hear that damian2001 went nuts on that. Bit aprehensive about coming off it, if ever.... But sex drive is certainly ok, probably not at pre-antidepressant days, but that was so long ago I can't remember what it was like... :(

Happy pills...aren't they great.. :)

Later..
I.

no, i only shoot heroin :winkwink:

went loopy?

Thanks for the info, I'll look into it and ask my doctor.


Peaches...I don't know what to say, I think of you often and am so sorry for your lose!

Remeron is great. It saved my life and I can still bust nuts. :thumbsup

Hey I use Paxil too and for 1 week I dont even wanna touch any work is that the same effect? It sucks tho :mad:

Yeah pretty much like it, how long have you been taking it?

hit me up on icq if you wanna chat about it

My mom used to take it, but I am not asking her if it fucked up her sex drive
