A member asked:
My psychologist and i have talked about me taking antidepressants for ocd, but i don't want sexual side effects. what is severity/likelihood?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
OCD med help: Have a consultation with pcp or psychiatrist to review treatment options. Consider risk of side effects (should be minimal to none) vs. continuing to suffer with OCD. Not all medications for OCD affect libido. Remember, any side effects are dose-related and reversible if med is stopped. I hope this helps.
