Can paxil cause male infertility?

Question

or any depression medications as a side affect?

Answer 1

Infertility No. But there are other sexual side affects, such as erection problems or delayed ejaculation. Lower sex drive.

Answer 2

NO anti depressants do not cause infertility but they can affect the man's sex drive...women too. Note I say CAN not necessary WILL as all people respond differently to the meds.

Answer 3

In an indirect way...yes. They can decrease the sex drive. They can also make it difficult to achieve or maintain an erection. Some men report anorgasmia (lack of orgasm and ejaculation).

However, if these obstacles are overcome, then conception should be possible. It doesn't directly cause the sperm to be absent or dysfunction.

Answer 4

Yes it can cause infertility in an UNTREATED male with Grave s disease. This is stated in medical literature. Once the Graves is treated fertility should return. My theory is the elevated body temperature can kill sperm counts and cause abnormal sperm to form.
