>All serotonergic medications (and to a lesser extent noradrenergics), tend to have sexual side effects. However, I don't understand why they are mentioned so often, because they are no big deal. The diarrhoeas & loose stools are a lot worse, and so are the sleep disturbances, tremors, apathy and dry mouth. Of course, not everyone has all the side effects.
