Antidepressant and libido


Is there a antidepressant that does not cause sexual dysfunction?

Bupropion was initially hyped up to be a great antidepressant with no sexual side effects. Unfortunately, this is no longer true and most likely some BS propaganda by the manufacturer. At least 30% of people who are prescribed bupropion complain of sexual dysfunction. However, these numbers are much lower than the tricyclics or SSRIs.
