Sexual Dysfunction in Patients with Antidepressant-treated Anxiety or Depressive Disorders: a Pragmatic Multivariable Longitudinal Study.

CONCLUSIONS: In patients with anxiety or depressive disorder, the risk of antidepressant-emergent sexual dysfunction at 6 weeks is low when drug doses are initially low with gradual up-titration. Baseline sexual dysfunction was independently associated with impaired sexual outcome. Men may be more likely than women to experience impaired sexual outcome. In patients with baseline sexual dysfunction, prescription of mirtazapine might be preferable to fluoxetine. PMID: 29588433 [PubMed - in process]
