I have been taking this medication for the past week. Without doubt the main problem for me is achieving a climax when having sex. This has never happened before so must be diretly related to the medication. Getting aroused and maintaining an erection are no problem just can't seem to get there if you know what i mean!!.
Hey there,
I have been on sertraline for about a month and a half. Excellent results. Feel almost back to my good self but i have had no sexual desires at all since starting them. No where near climax!! Apparently it is a well known side effect or so i have read. I couldnt tell you how long this will last though sorry. Hope it gets better. :D
Early on taking it I had the same problem, took me ages to eh....you know. It nearly killed me! But further down the line, when I finally chilled out and didnt worry so much about it then it changed.
It still happens occasionally now, I just tell my partner and she's fine with it. I still enjoy it, take a break and sometimes continue.
If you're worried go to the GP.
I have also had this issue after being on the drug for about 4 weeks now. I am told it does take a while but gets better. Just one of the many side effects that fade with time.
