Re: Re: Any one know about sexual side effects of SSRI's for women

[Guest guest]

I was told by a internal medicine doctor that Viagra would work on women also. I

assume that SSRI drugs could effect women sexualy. They difinitly effect men

from my own experience. A while back there was a lady who talked about the

increase in sexual desire, from SSRI drugs, to the point that she over did it

with different men. This caused with her a lot of frustration and guilt. She did

get away from the SSRI's and is slowly adjusting to the guilt. It was not her

normal mode of behavior. The SSRI's was the cause.
