Antidepressants effecting libido

Jump to newest
 

By (user no longer on site) OP   
over a year ago

I wanted to pick the forumites brains...

My job has suddenly gotten very stressful due to a new boss who has just taken over and is being bullying and unapproachable.

Im not especially depressed, more anxious. Im finding I dont sleep very well (can get off to sleep but keep waking up)

And keep feeling sick, due to nerves. Especially sunday nights/monday mornings.

Im seeing my GP tomorrow, and have a feeling he may put me on citalopram (an antidepressant) which ive been on before many years ago.

It works really well (you stop getting upset about the shit happenning around you!! lol)

I will talk to the GP about the side effects, but i dont want to make a big deal about how it may/will effect my sex drive.

As you guys know how important a girl's sex drive is to swinging......could i have some advice/ experiences from you guys?

PS i know i should really be dealing with how the boss is behaving, that is something im trying to do. He behaves like this with all the other staff as well. So its not just me getting shit!

If you can cope with a low dose it might be fine. But if Citalopram works well for you on other levels then I'd stick with it.

I agree with everyone above. Try different ones, they don't all affect it. Or... You could use your sudden free time to get hubby to decorate the house.

Hope your boss stops being an ass. If it's the same with everyone maybe go as a group to HR? Xx

It is though different for everyone, and I know it has affected someone's sex drive.

Sertraline is one of the best I know of to not affect your ability...

All the SSRI's are known to effect the ability of an erection and ejaculation, but definitely try and see which one suits you as everyone is different.

Citalopram is one of the newer antidepressants, and is quite 'clean' in terms of side-effects. It's given in a lower dose (in mg) than other drugs, being more effective.

You might get some disturbances, either in arousal, or in your ability to climax. Your drive might go one way or the other too. In the early days you could even go multi-orgasmic, but effects tend to stabilise after a few weeks and your body has tolerance.

If there are any serious problems mention them to your GP, and remember that they will be reversible when you come off the treatment.

Good luck, and hope your work situation resolves. Taking tablets to make up for a lousy boss is not a good long-term solution. Discussing it with sympathetic workmates might be more helpful.

Yep, Citalopran is an SSRI. Been there for 14 months and started coming off it now. Happily, my separation cured my anxiety, depression, and erectile dysfunction! The last 5 months have been verrrry satisfactory - thanks Fab!

Not certain if the good effects were pharmacological or psychological, but it worked.

Best of Luck with yours

From my experience Citalopram can affect sex drive and ability to orgasm. Side effects can be very individual and dependant on dosage. Give it 4 wees and see....if it doesn't suit there are plenty more on the marked to try.... not one drug suits all. Speak to your GP and they will be sympathetic if you are experiencing side effects. Hope your ok and this helps.....also look at relaxation and exercise and other ways that may help.x

I would be very honest with your GP and that you would like to avoid this side affect. Remember, they've heard and seen it all. At the end of the day, a lack of libido may bring you down as well.

Sorry to hear that your boss is giving you so much grief. I hope you'll be able to sort this out.

What i would suggest if your suffering from anxiety is to use rescue remedy. my partner had real problems at work and considered mood stabilizing drugs like citalopram (which i have previously been on and had seriously negative effects on me) so i recommended he try that and it helped him alot...

Repeating what other people have said, all medication will affect everyone differently.

I was on Citalopram up until last year, and personally, I was worse on them than off. I don't remember losing my sex-drive, but more my lack of will-power to do anything... I was tired all the time and became very numb.

As someone who has been on them before, you will already know that they are not a miracle drug that will cure all your problems. - The issue with your boss NEEDS to be attacked head-on. Nobody likes stress in the workplace and if it is starting to affect your's and possibly some of your colleague's mental health and well-being, then it cannot go ignored. If your new boss is unapproachable, than you will need to take it to head office or to your area manager. Get a note from your Doctor to say that you are experiencing severe low moods and anxiety as a result of the atmosphere at work, and write a letter to H.O/your area manager explaining the situation and how it is affecting you and other colleagues, along with as MANY signatures as possible from your work-mates.

I know it seems a lot of effort, but going on anti-depressants without dealing with the problem isn't going to change anything. You can't take anti-depressants forever...

doc upped my 20 mg to 40 one daily. citalopram .. if i could describe it as leaving me totally FLAT no ups no downs infact nothing.. i didnt even react when a woman reversed into my new car. .. totally no libido .. no feeling at all . I was on efexor for some years and that didnt affect my libodo at all. I stopped taking them about 6 or so weeks ago and sort of feeling different . more emotion now think i prefer it without. . much easier to orgasm now too. maybe take up yoga rather than resort to meds if you can.. good luck.

I was on citalopram last year for around six months. At first I was fine, but after a while I found that I was less aroused during sex and eventually my orgasm disappeared completely.

It took a long while after I came off the drug to get my orgasm back to how it used to be.

I have never had a problem with orgasms before, or arousal in general. In fact, I had always been a person who could come very easily indeed.

You can imagine my confusion and indeed depression when all that went away. It didn't help the anxiety, let me tell you!

"Have you considered trying St Johns Wart and getting your doctor to refer you for councelling rather than going straight for antidepressants? "

This is better than sodium based inhibitants. Fresh St Johns Wort as opposed to synthetic often found in the high shops, make tea with it. Alternatively bi carb soda will definately help your anxiety. Too many people reach for the tablets which often cause more problems or just numb them. There are of course a lot of people that find them helpful but the body is not meant to intake half of these shite chemicals. Natural remedies everytime. If you want some professional help feel free to contact us and we'll put you onto someone. Many people are becoming increasingly dubious over big pharma solutions and rightly so.

"no self resect" you sound like you have never been in this situation,when you are depessed your self respect totally goes.

unions are a total waste of time.

I tried standing up to the boss who was bulling me,just made matters worse tbh.In the end decided to just shut up and get over it with gp and families help.as for medication effecting erections and orgasms,yep it does.

See how you get on with Citalopram and if you do get that side effect then go back and see the doctor. Loss of libido and difficulty reaching orgasm are very common side effects of that drug but the GP can prescribe something else if its a problem

I too was on fluoxetine for 18 months and it totally killed any desire for sex. We tried and I actually couldn't 'feel' anything. I weaned myself off them and now sex is Fab...pardon the pun.

The SSRI's may affect libido and sexual function - but this is only a possibility. Even for someone who has been affected before, it doesn't mean that they would always be affected by the same drug.

As other's state, they each one may have a different effect, and there's now a reasonable range to be able to amend the prescription drug. Your GP will also want you to be on the minimum effect dose, and this may be different to the level you were on before. I also think the UK recommended highest dose has been moved to 40 mg, which may again be different to a previous dose you had.

So, reflect on what you want as well as previous side effects with your GP, and you may be surprised that a non-SSRI drug or even no drugs are selected as appropriate for right now.

Good luck, and hope your work situation improves!

While I don't condone taking pills to resolve the issue, it may help the OP in short term. It's not that easy to file a complaint about your boss or in fact anyone. It's a very serious matter and sometimes it's just hard to prove the bullying. When you realise what is actually happening you probably need to get new examples with the exact happenings as you can't remember the details from before. Bullying can be so subtle. And then some companies are small and such complaints are even more difficult. It's all about politics.

It's not all that easy, been there and done that.

Good for you... If you read this before you go to see the Doc.. Speak to him/her about Hypericum (St Johns Wort). It is the most orescribed "medicine" for mild depression in Germany and can be bought over the counter in the UK.. Yes it is a herbal medicine, but I found it really worked well..

Reason for talking to the doc? Just to make sure it doesn't affect anything you may be taking or he/she may prescribe.. It does give a mild light sensitivity in some and can affect those taking medicine for heart issues..

Good luck with soerting it and that bastard of a boss xxxx

I am on them now. The first x3 weeks affected my sex drive to the point of frustration. The first time I took them last year I quit because of this.

After around x6 weeks I was almost back to normal

It is completely different for everyone, give them a try and if they don't work out inform your GP who will be able to suggest others.x

Whilst you may have had some sound prescription advice you're not dealing with the real problem.

Without knowing more detail about your situation at work you really will have to bite the bullet and face these options:

Hope someone else complains

Complain yourself

Hope it stops

Leave

I don't see taking pills as a viable option.

None of these options are easy and bear some personal cost.

Unless you make a decission now things may get progressively worse.

Bullying in the workplace cannot and must not be tolerated.

Senior management needs to know ASAP.

When sickness absence increases due to stress questions will be asked.

Why should you start taking meds that may also alter your ability to work effectively?

You may find yourself with more issues over work related performance.

Do you have union for help/advice?

You can contact ACAS for advice.

So do you enjoy your job enough to fight for it?

It does sound like your sex life is more important than your job so which is more of a priority?

Request a formal meeting and have someone with you as a witness for you. Don't make it seem as if you're having a go, put down on paper what you want to say.

This person may not even realise what's happening, they may be under extreme pressure and be unable to handle it. They may be on meds themselves.

Until its out in the open all you are doing is effectively burying your heads in the sand.

Not everyone can be an effective manager of people.

Anyway it makes me feel very very sick and flat I don't feel high or low just flat and though I have never been able to come easy before its almost impossible now well that depends on how willing the man is to try lol but I still really enjoy sex and have accepted orgasms are a rare thing but to be honest when they happen they a lot more intense since on meds.

i cant comment on the drugs issue as i have noe experience of it but i can comment on teh workplace issue.

i am an employer who owns his own company and if i found out any manager of mine was bullying or intimidating any of my staff they would be on the sharp end of some very serious disciplinary action.

obviously we dont know the full details of your workplace or its structure but you need to take this up with is boss, if he has one.

you have to nip this in the bud, if he is allowed to carry on without challenge it will only get worse.

You need to cataloge any incident that you feel constitues bullying. times places, what was said and also names of anyone else present at that time.

Then you ask for an appointment to see him and you tell him you wish to have a third party present.

You confront him with your issues and advise him that if he fails to stop and starts to treat you as a proper employee you will have no option but to report it to a higher authority.

if he refuses, then you file an official grievance complaint, with the relevant person in the command structure, outlining your attempt to address the situation informally.

make a written diary of anything you feel is wrong.

If he is the big boss then get in touch with ACAS and discuss this with them and they will advise you.

Also talk to your colleagues because if they are being treated the same then the more people involved the stronger the case.

in my company the staff are my biggest asset and any employer worth his salt should see that

good luck but you need to solve the problem not mask the symptoms.

Kenny that was excatly my point, its pretty bad when a manager whatever the reasons are, is getting his subordinate in such a state that there having to resolve it by going to the doctors, and how on earth can they be productive when there dreading going into work, some people baffled me, i was allways taught to treat people how you would want to be treated yourself, because you never know when you might meet or need them on the way down

St Johns wort (Hypericum Perfartum) is a very wellknown and world~widely used Herbal "anti~depressant"~ but be aware that it is also very PHOTOTROPIC~ ie: should not be taken when using sunbeds or in direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time eg:on holiday abroad etc

as it's BEEN PROVEN to increase the skins ability to produce "cancer cells"

Rescue Remedy is brilliant as an immediate relief for anxiety and sressful situation eg:job interview etc

Some Anti~Mood stabilisers will 100% effect lobedo initially,but like all Anti depressants,it's just a matter of trial and wait n see~ most of which will take 2~3months b4 properly getting to grips,settling and doing their job correctly~so it could take 2,3,4,or more brands to "find ~the~1" 4 you personally and when you do ~ it's 99.9% perfect x

Efexor (Venlafaxine) at 37.5mg/75mg and 150mg doesnot effect the labedo and is fast acting and 4 most ppl has been a "life~saver" (can also be taken in a slow release form)~ although over the past 12months ~ some GP's have stopped prescribing due to a few cases of Heart/Respiratory problems in America~ As for those alrdy ON "Venlafaxine" these ppl are asked to pop in to surgery for a routine annual ECG(myself included)

For me personally ~ this has been a lifesaver but gudluck with the treatment and to anyone else outhere on Fab that "maybe" suffering with a similar condition ~ Luv Helen ~ xx
