I've been on Zoloft for about a month now for OCD and anxiety. I previously used Luvox, but had to quit due to severe suicidal thoughts and hurting myself.
I've noticed recently that my sex drive is INSANE! However, it takes me a very long time to acheive an orgasm.
The only side effect I can certainly link to Zoloft and not one of my other meds is that my muscles randomly jump or minorly tremor.

I have been taking zoloft for 14 years for panic disorder with mild depression. various doses, but now im at 200 mg, and have been at that dose for a long time. it was like a lifesaver from my previous med, imipramine. i did have really vivid dreams, weird ones, for a long time, but not so much anymore. i think that the long term effect of taking it has taken a toll on my mental clarity/concentration, though. I feel like i can't concentrate on anything or complete a thought anymore. even typing this i feel like i'm getting lost. like i'm constantly in a fog. or it could be that i have 5 month old twins, lol, i guess. but really, its never been this bad.
i too feel like i have had some loss of emotion, not feeling sad when its completely appropriate to. and i've also had way too much emotion at the wrong times, flying off the handle at people and such. the worst thing is my dr. would ask me "what makes you happy, what do you do for fun?" and i would just stare at him with a blank look cause i had no idea what that felt like anymore. or maybe i couldn't think enough to answer him. physically i think zoloft makes me twitch - eye twitches, nose twitches, throat clearing. and i can't have an orgasm to save my life :(
recently i've been having some breakthrough anxiety and my dr. wants to add wellbutrin to the zoloft. if anyone has experience with this please send me a message. i'm kind of scared to do it.

I've been taking Zoloft for nearly a month. My sex drive has not decreased but it takes me a very long time to have an orgasm. It is frustrating because my partner and I have always had a very active sex life. Now, I'm hesitant to have sex because it takes too long to have an orgasm. Any suggestions?? Sexually Frustrated

I have been taking a low dose of zoloft (25mg) daily for about 9 months now and it has helped with my peri-menopause symptoms. I was having anger issues and depression associated with the changing hormones. I have never had these problems before recently so that is why they put me on the zoloft. It has helped a lot but the side effects have caused me to request a change in medication. I have some mild problems with diarrhea and headaches but nothing too bad. The worse one is the total lack of sex drive. I have no use for sex at all any longer. What is worse is that even if I do it for my husband it is impossible for me to have an orgasm or even become aroused. Strange. Hopefully there is something else out there that will help without this bothersome side effect.

I STAY horny and it takes me forever to have an orgasm. Is this a side effect of Zoloft?

I've been on Zoloft for three weeks now. I'm taking 50mg per day.
Mainly sexual side effects. It takes much effort to become
erect and I've had one orgasm in two weeks and it was a struggle and not enjoyable.
In the beginning, I had headaches, fogginess, tininitus, and overactive sexually for a week which disturbed me. I was unable to concentrate at work. I also sweated off and on for a couple of days and then felt feverish with chills. After a week, all of those side effects went away and now it is just the sexual side effects. I am supposed to see the doctor next week.
The positive note is that Zoloft has done wonders for me already. I feel great. I sleep through the night, wake up in the mornings ready for the day... and my mind usually races through several thoughts at once. I'm able to concentrate now.

My sex drive is INSANE! Although, it takes me a long time to orgasm.
