Not nerve damage: Antidepressants do not cause nerve damage or loss of sensation in the vagina. However, ssri antidepressants can cause difficulty with sexual desire and also with ability to climax. These are more central brain effects, rather than directly on vaginal sensory nerves. Effects depression can interfere with sexual interest and desire also. Hopefully this improves with treatment.
