Antidepressants save lives. But in addition to such possible side effects as nausea, nervousness, insomnia, diarrhea, dry mouth, and tremor (hand shaking), the most popular class of antidepressants, the SSRIs (Celexa, Lexapro, Luvox, Prozac, Paxil, and Zoloft), have become notorious for causing sexual side effects: libido loss, erection impairment, weak orgasms, and difficulty experiencing orgasm or total inability to have them. Depending on the study, 50 to 80 percent of SSRI users report at least one sexual side effect.

Few people know that another antidepressant, Wellbutrin (chemical name, bupropion), is as effective as the SSRIs, but much less likely to cause sexual side effects. In fact, several studies show that Wellbutrin is more likely to help than hurt sexuality.
