Very, very unlikely. It causes transient changes in some of the neuroreceptor pathways in the brain that are associated with sexual excitement and orgasm, but removel of the drug should allow these pathways to reconsitute rather quickly.

I took zoloft.

When I started I was not in a relationship. However once I was in one I noted that it took forever to achieve orgasm (more time than my girlfriend was able to accept). I switched to another drug and the problem went away entirely.

I don’t think so, temporary is common with all SSRI like Zoloft.

Compared with other SSRI’s Zoloft promotes liver tumors, so having a choice I would avoid that one.

I don’t believe any of the positive claims on any of the SSRI’s, the psych industry is in cahoots with the psych drug industry, these people would lie about anything.

Permanent sexual disfunction is no joke. And that the neuroreceptor pathways SHOULD reconstitute after discontinuence . . . Such a statement always makes me look more closely at those possibly ‘transient’ changes. Sounds like someone (pharmaceutical companies, AMA, doctors with god complexes, etc.) is playing the odds here. Are you sure you want to?
- I am not so inclined to take those kinds of chances with something that can be replaced by an agent that causes NO harm and much good – herbs, acupuncture, acupressure, chiropractic, therapeutic massage, lifestyle changes, etc.
- That you ask this question reveals your doubts about the efficacy and healthfulness of this drug. Follow your gut!
- Blessings on you!
