Hello John,
No, I don't have any sexual dysfunction from the medication. I never had a problem with the SSRI on its own though!
It's been suggested that adding a low dose of nortriptyline to an SSRI may relieve the sexual side effects of the SSRI by blocking certain serotonin receptors. If this combination was used, it would be helpful to monitor the nortriptyline level in the blood to make sure that it didn't get too high.
