Stopped taking Zoloft: Went from anorgasmia to mediocre sexual performance

Hi guys, it’s been years since my last posts.

I was on Zoloft for more than 3-4 years and it didn’t really affected my sex drive in a bad way (the med may have decreased it a little).

Back in the days when I used to take the medication I could fuck for hours without being able to come, sometimes it was very positive for me and the girls, sometimes I had severe anxiety about not being able to cum.

Actually, there was no real downside of having anorgasmia (not being able to cum). I got blow jobs for 30-40 minutes, I got a lot of positive comments. Then again, when having sex with prostitutes it did cost me more or I had to stop ;) While being able to fuck for hours I regularly had the blue balls feeling and the cum shots were an ENORMOUS relieve.

I’ve stopped taking Zoloft for a month and now it really is the opposite problem. I’ve turned into a quick or “normal” cummer which makes me anxious.

I don’t know if some of you have experienced the same problems after stopping taking antidepressants but I would love to know if it’s a temporary problem because I’m more sensitive than before…?

To reduce this newly gained sensitivity I’ve already started a daily edging routine.

P.S. In the title I talk about sexual performance by measuring it only by the duration ;)

I think SSRI’s like Zoloft typically have that effect - delayed, or nonexistant orgasm. They are sometimes prescribed to men who are not depressed to treat premature ejaculation.

You might try a smaller dose to see if you can find a sweet spot - the Goldilocks dose.

Actually, you seem to be pretty lucky if that’s the only problem you’ve had coming off Zoloft. It seems many have really grizzly rebound effects when they discontinue an SSRI, even tapering.

From what I’ve read, Wellbutrin is the only antidepressant that doesn’t have bad sexual side effects, and in fact makes things better in many men.

For what it’s worth, I’m not on an SSRI, but take forever to cum, and find that to be a major problem.

I didn’t like Zoloft when I was on it for 2 weeks that’s why I switched to Wellbutrin .

Does anyone know if Xanax does the same thing?

Xanax raises shbg cause its a tranquilizer and that mean less free testosterone so lower sex drive .
