I just started taking Sertraline 50mg 2 weeks ago & am still in the trial and error period to see if it works or not.  I'm a 37 year old single male and this is the first time taking antidepressants.  Just curious of how badly this medicine has affected others with there sex drive, erectile dysfunction, & ability to still have a satisfying sex life?   I'm worried & scared that I'll be sacricing or have to give up sex in order to help cure me?  I'm hopeful this is not the case, but any feedback would appreciated.  Oh and does a stronger dosage affect it more so then a lesser dosage? Thanks!

    Yes, to some degree, but everyone is different. I'm currently off of the meds, but considering going back on them, and this is one of my concerns. Best of luck!
