Snri make me less urged to fapping ?

antidepressants are known to lower libido

 

That's what happens because the increased serotonin binds to the 5ht2c receptor and this decreases dopamine in the nucleus accumbens and that decreases arousal and orgasm intensity. This is also how SSRI's can cause emotional numbness.

 

Well they are sometimes prescribed for obsessive-compulsive disorders. And yes, they can lower your libido and cause desensibilization. I remember having sex with a girl when I was taking Zoloft and I just couldn't reach orgasm, fucked forever. Of course, I was also heavy on my PMO habit back then.

 

I'm currently taking sertraline 50mg for anxiety. Sex function is ok, but every person reacts differently. I don't think antidepressants "fix" anything, but they can be helpful if you associate them with a lifestyle change such as taking up new habits and talking to a therapist. Don't start them on your own, though.

 

Not really. Anxiety gets better, situations are easier because I'm kind of numb. Changed the meds basically because of availability. For many reasons, I think some kind of traumas may be the root cause of it all.

 

Sexual side effects are probably not permanent, possibly it's the anxiety. I take them for a period and then leave them when I'm feeling better, they're sort of like a cane for periods when I just can't handle social contact without feeling like shit.
