Can't climax on Zoloft :(

[CoCo2009]

Well I can but it takes AGES! Does this mean I need to change already. I just started taking them last week. Does this go away.. I can't afford to keep going back and forth to the doctor like this right now.

[SchecterGuy]

I hear that is an initial side effect and goes away to some extent.

[CoCo2009]

pray for me please lol

Calm down girl.......lol....give things a chance to WORK...it is like you are hectic running from problem to problem to problem, trying to find one. HUG

I've never taken Zoloft- but I've taken Lexapro. The inability to climax should go away in time.

I know its insane how my mind works. I am trying to get this together here lol

[Seraphim]

I know sweetie......my husband is the same way. If he can not find a problem he will make one so he can feel hectic.......lol.

Ugh. The doctor just put me on Zoloft today. My sex drive already went down the toilet when the depression hit, if this makes it worse I'm gonna be MORE depressed.

 

Bleh.

[Seraphim]

Depression is an issue that needs to be treated, worry about the sex after. It does get better.

You need to give the medication a chance to work. In 2 weeks to a month you should feel the benefits of the medication and experience less side effects as you get used to it. For a little while, you will feel like a med-head- but it goes away.

Zoloft! UGH!

 

My experience:

 

Zero Sex Drive

30 lb weight gain

 

I was already depressed...I didn't need to loose the sex drive OR gain weight...just added to the depression. I would suggest you investigate ALL options. Zoloft is not the only answer.

 

Good Luck to you!

[CoCo2009]

Well I have to atleast give it more than 1 week

As far as weight gain goes, is it that Zoloft makes you just "gain weight" or does it make you eat more and as a result you gain weight?

 

I'm on a pretty strict diet, so my eating habits won't change, but I wonder if it'll still cause weight gain?

[mezmerist]

If Zoloft doesn't work out for you, I've heard that Wellbutrin is good about not causing weight gain, and not having sexual side effects.

[Fitchik]

I believe it is the Zoloft causing the weight gain. I too, live on a very strict diet. I'm a personal trainer and competitior and have NEVER experienced weight gain like this. Again, this is just my experience. I am certain results and side effects vary.

 

I'm on Welbutrin SR. LOVE IT!

[BellaDonna]

I haven't had any weight gain on Lexapro either.

Do you find that it's a certain type of weight gain?

 

Personally I'd be thrilled if it helped me gain muscle weight, but I'd be a bit upset if it made me put on fat. I'm around 14% bodyfat now and I'm in the process of trying to put over 10 or so pounds of lean muscle of the comng winter.
