SSRIs/Sexual dysfunctionFrom: Harrison Sheld (hsheld@anv.net)Sun Apr 27 17:54:19 1997
There was a thread a few months ago about SSRIs and sexual dysfunction. A number of suggestions were made including lowering the dose, changing meds, giving the patient a drug holiday (for example, on weekends etc.) At today's ACOG course "Psychiatry in Ob-Gyn" a couple of other suggestions were made: add a cholinergic agonist, e.g., bethanechol (Urecholine and others) 25-50 mg one hour prior for problems in arousal, or serotonin antagonists cyproheptadine (Periactin) 4 mg one hour prior to intercourse..it may be sedating...for orgasmic dysfunction. Thought this might be helpful.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
