Anyone else had a huge INCREASE in libido?!

I understand it can take 6 weeks or a little longer to start working. I started on 50 mg went up to 100 then 150 now I am back on 100mg they worked for me but I think I came off 150 to soon. I am going back to see the doctor. So give them time if they work keep on them as long as the doctor say so. As for the horny bit, no such luck for me. Lol

Hi Loco-estrella.....omg....you sound just like me!! I have been on sertraline for bout 2 months now (for work anxiety) and have just halved my doses from 50 to 25mg every other day.

My sex drive has been thru the roof for about the last 3weeks or so, annoyingly its good but not ideal for me as my husband works abroad!!

Its really weird tho as I lost my drive a while back and had no interest at all in it, life took over and it was always the last thing on my mind!! now its the 1st thing on my mind!!

I did get the side effects when i first started the med, so bad that i nearly came off them after 4 days....upset stomach, abdominal pain, not feeling myself and dry mouth, but i pushed on and those went fairly soon.

i am trying to wean off them now. i wish u luck.

ps im 38.

Yes yes yes yes!! I can't stop thinking about having sex! Same boat 

This is an old post but I found it because I was asking the exact same question! I've had previous experiences & always heard anti-depressants hurt your libido so I I didn't really put two and two together until I went off of med for a few weeks. Two weeks after I started them up again I realized this one defiantly has the opposite effect on me. My husband loves this odd side effect so I really hope your not still single!

I've recently started back onto sertraline and have been on it for about 2 months after coming off it over a year ago, and I am exactly the same! It's strange because I don't remember this happening last time I started on it, for now it's a good thing I suppose but also not a good thing as my fiancé is about to start renovating our house. Fingers crossed it doesn't effect us too much 

My libido went south, but since I was single it didn't matter too much.  I mentioned it to the doctor, and he said if I did find myself in a relationship he could prescribe Viagra. 

I am almost weaned off Zoloft after about three years  ... still waiting for the libido to kick in.

Out of interest  ... is only females experiencing the increased libido?

 

Its happening to me. I was on effexor and it wasn't working so mu Dr. switched me to Zoloft 50 mg and now my appetite is back and my libido is crazy now it was non existent before. I'm not complaining at all lol

yes I've been constantly horny. And im very much single soo. But i have found the medication is helping alot with my mood.

same here, been on it for 7 weeks now,

im 27 and been dealing with vaginal dryness and low sex drive for a long time.

i swear this is a miracle pill because now my sex life is AMAZING!
