Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Suggest An Anti Depressant Without Side Effect Of Libido Loss
I have been on various types of antidepressants since I was 16 (I am now 42), and have almost a non existent libido with no sensitivity during intercourse. Is there a particular antidepressant that has less effect on your libido? I am currently on Escitalopram (20mg/day). Thank you.
All antidepressants can have an effect on sexual functioning causing major dysfunction, but from extensive studies bupropion and nefazodone are found to have least effects on the libido, so please speak to your doctor and discuss this in detail.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
