According to a study by the Harvard Medical School, antidepressants, SSRI medications, in particular, can lower your sex drive and cause arousal issues( difficulty becoming aroused or staying aroused).
How Can They Impact Orgasms?
SSRI medications can trigger orgasm problems (trouble reaching an orgasm or not getting an orgasm at all).
How Can You Tell a Partner That Antidepressants Are Making It Difficult to Orgasm/Find Pleasure?
Have an open and honest dialogue about your sexual difficulties. Talking to your partner will not only help you find the solution to the problem but also improve your connection at the emotional level.
What Advice Would You Give Individuals/Couples on How to Navigate This? Are There Any Practical Steps They Can Take?
As a relationship expert, I strongly suggest reducing the dosage of antidepressants that trigger sexual difficulties or avoiding them altogether. If you choose the latter, I am pleased to announce that there are other safe and effective ways to manage depression and anxiety. These include meditating, eating a lot of omega-3 fatty acids, drinking green tea, taking more vitamin B12, and engaging in regular physical activity.
