Sex drive and function are commonly affected by medication, but we all react differently. From reading other posts over the months, I'd say more people than not lose their sexual impulse and ability to climax. I've been on anti-depressants that affected me this way, and others that heightened my enjoyment of sex. Sertraline has reduced my libido but not seriously interfered with orgasm. I have also had urinary problems on other ADs so can sympathise with you there. I would say give it a little longer and discuss with your doctor if possible. Each of us has to be sure that the benefits outweigh the side effects and their impact on our recovery. What you are experiencing is not that unusual but in time you will find that the symptoms fade or another medication works better for your metabolism and body chemistry.
Good luck mate. keep us posted and don't give up hope!
