Abstract
Antidepressant-induced adverse sexual effects are becoming more frequently reported by patients who require phamacotherapy. A MEDLINE search was conducted to generate articles reporting such events. We report here on the sexual side effects associated with tricyclics, mone amine oxidase inhibitms including moclobemide, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, hprOpion, and on the newer antidepressants venlafaxine and nefazadone. We conclude that adverse sexual effects are an increasingly important side effect of antidepressant medications, and patients must be routinely asked about their occuwence.
