My pShrink is now ordering the full set of hormone screening on every male patient over 45 and lower if any libido problems are present. I interpret them for him (name whited out on my copy – doctor/patient confidentiality) and you would be shocked at the number of men who need some hormone adjustments! Fortunately, many men only need lifestyle and dietary adjustments to fully recover. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> > On the same track – what is the real truth about libido and the > sris’ in > > my case zoloft.

SSRI’s will often make things worse for men over 45 years of age. At that point their *FREE* testosterone level drops radically and the result can manifest itself as depression. SSRI’s will lower it further, causing more depression – as well as adding severe unhappiness with the sexual dysfunction. The doctor will often increase the dosage or use something even stronger, until the mood-altering effects over-ride the unhappiness – AKA the "happy eunuch". Zoloft is particularly bad. If you take a dose that’s adequate for the job, it’ll do a job on you. From one pharmaceutical database: During initial clinical trials, sexual dysfunction manifested primarily as ejaculation dysfunction (ejaculatory delay ) and orgasm dysfunction (anorgasmia) was observed in about 16% of men and 2% of women treated with sertraline. However, post-marketing experience has suggested that the frequency of sexual adverse events is actually much higher. In fact, many physicians report an incidence of up to 90% based on their clinical experience. The FDA is considering changing the labeling of SSRIs to reflect a higher frequency of drug-induced sexual adverse events.
