A bit of a personal one about taking antidepressants.
So I take sertraline and have done for around a year and a half. I am so grateful for it, but it really affects my sex life. I’m also on various medications for my blood pressure which don’t help, but I’ve found that the sertraline makes sex harder, orgasms harder so wondering if anyone else suffers with this and what they do about it?

Your problem is very common on SSRIs, SNRIs, and, I believe, some other drugs prescribed for mental health. Viibryd is an SSRI that doesn't interfere with sexual function. It can be expensive, but Good Rx coupons help. They are available on the internet. Best wishes for you!
PS: You can use Good Rx coupons even though you have insurance.
your doctor should tell you about that ,ask them for something else !life is tough enough ! good luck ciley
Yes, those medications can make orgasms harder to obtain, or sometimes not at all. I'm not on antidepressants anymore, but have no sex life to speak of.
