Sexual dysfunction associated with antidepressant therapy

Urol Clin North Am. 2007 Nov;34(4):575-9, vii. doi: 10.1016/j.ucl.2007.08.003.

Abstract

Increasing numbers of patients are on psychiatric drugs, especially antidepressants. When patients complain of sexual dysfunction, it is important that the clinician take a careful history concerning psychopharmacologic agents. It is possible that simple interventions may maintain the desired effect of the psychiatric drugs while also eliminating sexual side effects caused by these agents.
