OCD medication impact on sex and sperm
Hello ,
Iam taking OCD medication from 3 weeks .sexual mood is not coming and sperm also not generating or coming .
Can you please tell reason clearly ?
Hi there,
The side effects like
decrease in libido (sexual mood not coming),
Delayed ejaculation ( sperms not coming),
Anorgasmia ( not having orgasm)
Or
Erectile dysfunction
are some of the side effects of the drugs which are generally used in the treatment of OCD.
The best part is they are reversible.
And there are other medications that can be used in OCD and are likely not to produce such sexual side effects.
Next Steps
The other medications can be subsided.
