Frankly, I think the dryness &
Os are your lack of trying. I’m a woman on Prozac and while I may not be as interested in having sec while I’m on it, the Os are actually more intense, and they’re ongoing.

Learn some skills bud! If you’ve run into issues 3xs it’s probably you!

It makes my DH really irritable and mean. It’s as bad as when he was depressed, just in a different direction.

I'm a man. When my partner isn't on Prozac, her Os are very intense. I do oral and other things and she says I know her body better than anyone ever has. I am willing to spend a long time. Unfortunately we usually just can't get her all the way to O when she's taking Prozac. Are there special things to do with people on Prozac?

What meds work as well but without side effects?

If it had a negative effect, what did you do? Stop taking the medicine? Find something that affected you differently?

I mean, if you are ok being in a sexless marriage with your spouse then I guess SSRIs are fine.

Been on it for a while and no negative effects, including on sex drive., and I have side effects from everything, although I’m on a pretty low dose. So I think it very much depends on the individual.

Start w your doctor ..

Destroyed a son's marriage. She started without telling him because of "stress". He had no clue how harmful those drugs were.

Said he noticed she changed almost overnight but didn't know for a year that she was on them. Said she went from fun loving and full of life, to a zombie with sociopathic tendencies.

SSRIs are the most prescribed drug in the world now, and doctors and scientists still really have no clue about what they do or the long term risks.

Is inhibiting the reuptake of neurotransmitters good? Is desensitizing the neural synapses over time from excess serotonin and other neurotransmitters harmful? Nobody knows.

It certainly changes the brain though, forever in most cases.

You're a psychotic liar. Maybe try prozac

Hello pharma salesman.

SSRIs devastate the patient’s libido and inhibit ability to orgasm in most cases.

That too, although it is one of the less serious side effects.

SSRIs have been linked to an increase in suicide risk.

That and violent behavior also. They desensitize the neural synapses over time, leading to erratic impulsive behaviors in the meantime.

Holy correlation vs causation… don’t you think that people who are taking antidepressants might be more at risk for self harm?

Sure.
And they increase the risk after starting them.
Correlation = causation in this case.
