Hi sir, Antidepressants are known to cause sexual dysfunction in some cases. But this side effect is limited to the antidepressant use and is not generally long lasting or permanent. Do talk to your psychiatrist for same, he might change it to others which have lesser propensity to cause sexual side effects.
