http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=safari&rls=en&q=serotonin+uptake+inhibitors+side+effects+on+sexual&spell=1 try that one for many links to this question
http://www.healthyplace.com/communities/depression/treatment/antidepressants/ssri.asp
that one i used to get the following information:
"selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)
Side Effects
The side effects of SSRIs are usually mild and manageable, although once in a while a sensitive person gets a severe reaction. Like most antidepressants, SSRIs may cause nausea, dizziness, or dry mouth, not to mention a range of sexual-function side effects, including decreased sexual interest (in men), increased sexual interest (in women), ejaculation problems, impotence, or menstrual changes.
During the first couple of weeks of taking them, you may feel sick and more anxious. Some of these tablets can produce nasty indigestion, but you can usually stop this by taking them with food. More seriously, as noted above, they may interfere with your sexual function. There have been reports of episodes of aggression, although these are rare."
disclaimer: remember, talk to your physician and pharmacist about all of the medications you are taking and any health problems and concerns you may have. the above information is only presented as a general guide and does not substitute for consulting a physician.
also note that different people react differently to various medications. not all ssri have the same effects on each person. there are a few to try, as well as other types of medications to treat the synptoms this medication is prescribed for. again, consult with your doctor and pharmacist.
i hope this helps, and i wish you well with it.
