I am 26 year old female. A month back I took fluoxetine (selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitor) for a week for anxiety and insomnia and stopped it. After that I have decreased libido, delayed orgasm and decreased sensation on genitals. How can I become back to normal again? please reply doctors.

Dear lybrate-user, fluoxetine is a little long acting. But surely it will not stay in body forever. If it is due to fluoxetine, you will get back to normal. But there may be other causes for your sexual problems. Now that it is more than 3 weeks of stopping fluoxetine, please consult your psychiatrist again for better diagnosis and treatment.

Fluoxetine produces these effects in some. It is reversible and returns after few weeks. So do not worry. If it does not there are some medicines to get back the previous feel. If depression recurs there are medications which do not produce these side effects too. You can discuss with a psychiatrist in person or online and get the same. Good luck.

Yes, it is one of the side effects of this medication but it is unlikely to cause such a hue effect to your sexual arousal and poor sensations. Even so, if that is the case, you could return to normal soon if you maintained good exercises including kegel exercises. Also I recommend that you you do nitric oxide release exercises, humming like you were taught in yoga and eat a lot of green leafy vegetables like spinach, kale broccoli, and beetroot every day. Try to not use mouthwash, fluoride toothpaste, and antacids. When exercising, always breathe through your nostrils. You will also need to be positive and learn to psyche your mind into enjoying all physical contact to increase your responsiveness. Remember that the brain is the most important sexual organ, and if that is not adequately stimulated, you can continue to have a lowered sexual arousal. If all of this doesn't work much, you should meet with a sexologist.

Madam fluoxetine helps in anxiety but its unlikely that its effects/ side effects would last after one month of stopping medication. Do consult your psychiatrist, as increased anxiety also hampers sexual performance.
