On the other hand, these drugs also save lives and change them for the better, as you yourself have seen. And while sexual health is important, untreated depression and anxiety can corrode even the most loving relationships.
When we communicate with our doctor about the impact of medication on sexual intimacy, we open the door to the imperfect but essential process of trial and error. Some drugs have greater sexual side effects for certain patients than others. Sometimes doses and timing can be adjusted. The process is never perfect, but a good psychiatrist should work with you to find a regimen that offers you relief of symptoms with minimum impact on sexual function.
Furthermore, as important as it is to talk with your doctor about this too-often taboo subject, it’s equally important to talk with your partner. Even for couples with a thriving sex life, sexuality is not always to discuss. Too often, our culture tells us that sex should be spontaneous, easy, impulsive, and effortless, and if it’s not, it’s a sign that something is off with a relationship.
