Hey everyone.

Since taking sertraline I have lost my sex drive and wanted to know if anyone else has had the same issues. If so what did you do about it?

My psychiatrist upped my dose to 100mg to see if it will make that symptom worse or better so we can find a better option for me.

Thankyou

    Don’t worry this was normal for me, It took around 4-6months to level out on the medication and then things started to become normal again

    Yes, I can identify with that.  I have just come off 250mg of Zoloft, and still waiting for something to happen.  Fortunately I didn't and still don't have a partner  ... but it would be nice to know that everything is still in working condition just in case.

    Thanks guys, I'll keep waiting it out and seeing how everything goes!

    I wonder if there is a difference between males and females?
