Dr. Jack Underwood answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Switch.: The SSRI group can cause sexual dysfunction for some individuals, both male and female., When it occurs there are three alternatives. First, switch to a different SSRI. Second, reduce the dose and add Wellburtrin. Third, switch to Wellburtrin.
