Anyone have trouble keeping a hardon while taking Zoloft? I find it difficult to keep one and my sex drive has gone WAY down. It's all I can do to keep it hard enough for me to jerk off.

I could not even wake up my cock on Zoloft, changed to Effexor now I can go at it by hand, pussy, butt, or mouth, Thank goodness.

Yeah, when you have sexual side effects, especially to depression meds, talk with your doctor about it. They KNOW that these side effects are out there, and there are a mess of decent drug choices now.

zoloft is the strongest of all the anti's, you can take a rest from it on the weekends for sex etc, also go to the health store and try Arginine.. a natural amino acid that helps blood flow into the muscles..take it everyday it will keep it harder longer

I have that same problem. You may ask your doctor to switch you to a different anti-depressant, like Wellbutrin (which has fewer sexual side effects and, in some cases increases libido)--unfortunately not an option for me. I take Cialus and a drug called Cyproheptadine. The latter is actually an antihistamine, but it has been shown to block some of the side effects of Zoloft. The combination seems to help although it's an imperfect solution and you have to plan ahead. (Cialis works for about 36 hours, though, but you have to take the Cyproheptadine about 4 hours before sex.) My biggest problem is that I can stay hard with Cialis, but it takes forever to reach an orgasm. Good luck.

when i was on it, it was so frustrating, like beating a dead horse,
my doctor gave me a script for viagra, but, all in all, I quit the antidepressents.
and kept the viagra for "special" occasions,, like right now because you mademe
think of it,,,, THANKS!

I've never taken any of these medications, but do want to make a comment. Seems to me that an anti-depressant that kills your sex drive or ability to get wood, is counter-productive to the propose of taking the med. What could be more depressing than being unable to get it up?? :confused:

never tried the zoloft; butt I can say that when on major antibiotics for sinus infection i loose the ability to get or stay hard after the 3rd day. since I know this, i plan to jack off several times on day 1 and 2; thereby cutting down on the blueball effect.

Fifteen years ago I took Zoloft "recreationally" for the effect it had of suppressing ejaculation. I had no problem getting or staying hard but I couldn't ever cum. One hour plus of fucking and never getting there - which is why I took it. My GF at the time liked being fucked hard and very long. This went on for about a month until my supply ran out. I didn't mind not using it as I missed getting off. The long hard fucking was fun, though. I pounded her pussy until we both ached - good times.

I never had a problem getting hard on zoloft. My problem was with cumming. A couple of times I just could keep going and going like the energizer bunny, until the wife tells you to hurry up or get the fuck off.
