I've been on Zoloft for over 6 months now. My sex drive disappeared when the Zoloft kicked in until very recently. I don't know if it comes back for everyone.

Well, I can tell you from experience what the side effects for women are. Decreased libido, decreased ability to climax from intercourse, and literal impotence. Basically, no matter how great everything is, it just doesn't do anything for you. I've had some relief by adding a second drug with fewer sexual side effects. Good luck! It's a tough situation for both involved.

Don't ever take the sleeping pills route!!
1. They will damage your liver big time and you can get into serious health problems.
2. You will get hooked up on them and you won't be able to have a normal life any more if you don't take your pills everyday.
The sleeping pills industry is damaging our health by capitalizing on our ignorance, and by distracting people from effective and natural ways to deal with this problem. I had been taking prescription sleep medications [Ambien] for over 5 years. It stopped working and I simply took more. Still did not work. Nights were very difficult - medication put me to sleep but I would wake up after 2–3 hours with a strong sympathetic response (fast pulse, pounding heartbeat, wide awake alert). It was a very difficult cycle to break. I was really in bad shape due to lack of sleep.
After years of struggling I was able to cure my insomnia naturally and pretty fast. I followed the Sleep Tracks sleep optimization program, here is their official web -site if you want to take a look: http://www.insomniacure.net
Ohhh..and Good Luck!

Lack of sex drive is usually the most common side effect. I'm not sure if that includes erectile disfunction, but in women, Zoloft can cause a serious lack of interest in sex.

Those side effects don't bother everyone. Use caution
in stopping or changing any medications. It's best to check with your doctor. If he just started this new medication, give it
some time and see if he has any side effects . Many do not.

Typical Side Effects: headache, nausea, dry mouth, sweating, sleepiness or insomnia, and diarrhea or constipation, weight gain, loss of libido. Most everything but the weight gain and loss of libido usually goes away within a couple of weeks. Unlike most antidepressants, mixing booze and Zoloft will get you drunker

Hello,
One can experience decrease in libido, may take him longer
to achieve orgasm, retrograde ejacuation, and some other side sexual side effects. He should ask his doctor about this if it becomes an issue.

Hello. The side effects can be decrease in libido. If you notice this see if your hubby can try Wellbutrin. Less side effects with that.
