I'm on an antidepressant, and I can't o****m?

Question

Hey, I really need some help here.

I've been on Fluoxetine (it's an antidepressant, which is supposed to help my low seretonin level) for about 2 months.. I've realized that I can ejaculate, but don't have much of an o****m. I've read that a sied effect is delayed o****m..but I can still ejaculate...

Is this normal?

Oh, and..I'll only be on it for like...6 months I think. When I stop taking this, will I be able to o****m?

Thanks so much!

Answer 1

Differences in sexual experiences are common with antidepressants.  You need to talk to your doctor.  And ejaculation and o****m are separate events, although they usually occur close together.

Answer 2

Talk to your doctor. Perhaps there's a better antidepressant out there with fewer side effects. Also, I'd recommend reading the "Feeling Good Handbook" which is a very effective book to help with all-things depression. It's quite possible to get out of your slump without taking meds the rest of your life. Good luck!

Answer 3

It's very normal, and if you're ejaculating, you're having an o****m, even if it's not the best one.  When you stop taking the drug, you'll be back to normal in this regard.
