I was put on zoloft one month ago and while it is doing wonders I have noticed a considerable change in sex drive, I used to be the aggresor, wanting it 5 times a week and now I could care less if I have it at all.

Well you may want to talk with your doctor about a medication that is the same but doesn't have the same sexual side effects. I have been on prozac for a little while and I noticed the same thing and then I told my doctor and they switched me to Wellbutrin which is supposed to not have the sexual side effects. . Just talk to you doctor they can help. Good luck!

Thats exactley what antidepressants do to women,I dont know about men.I took them for 7 years and believe me sex is the last thought on your mind.Yes it totally diminishes your drive,but that is one of the side effects if you read them you will see.Panic attacks are pretty bad so If you dont want to suffer from them stay on the meds but just push yourself to have sex once you start you will get into it,its just you need that push.

I totally agree that you should talk to your doctor if it is bothering you that much. However, being on meds myself, I have to say that continuing on meds that are helping is probably your best bet. I know how hard it can be to find something that actually works. Also, there are thing you can get to enhance your sex drive, but make sure the ingredients don't react with your meds. But again, definitely talk to your doctor about it.

Some sacrifices have to be made in life. If you prefer more sex over being panic free, then stop taking them. I would prefer remaining panic free. At least you won't risk pregnancy or STDs. Then again, I would resolve my anxiety without medication.
