Zoloft - testosterone production

[perronuchy]

Advice please !!!

I am about to start my cycle but i have a problem, i has been taking Zoloft for about 2 months and my sex drive just faded away
now is non existent, zero, nada, i was told by a friend that Zoloft and Antidepressants close down the testosterone production
in the body, i was not sure about that so i made some research on the internet buy i found nothing, I have to know about it because if is truth is pointless to start my cycle, it would be a waist of money time and gear, what do you know about this ?

Basically it's SSI or Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors

Prozac, Effexor, Lexapro Sarfem etc all fall into this class

Do you think i should stop taking Zoloft during my cycle ? or the lack of horniness is due to a factor non related to testosterone production ?

Bro straight up you need to talk to your Doctor and tell him the medication is killing your sex drive so he can alter your medication. I nor is anyone on this board unless they are a MD has no business telling you to stop taking your medication. Many things can lower your sex drive like. This is more of a Physiological issue, and men with Mid to High Testosterone production can have no sex drive because of the issues below.

• Low self-esteem
• Depression
• Conflict with your partner
• A history of sexual trauma such as abuse or assault
• Stress and psychological health

I guess is the best way to go because only when i take Zoloft i have sex dive/problems so may be only a doctor could help me, i came here to ask because i can not tell my doctor about the gear but i will find the way to ask

I had a friend that took Zoloft too and his sex drive diminished like you are saying. Im sure if you explained your libido has vanished due to your meds you can discus an alternative medication and that might work out for you that way, then consider if your going to go down the path of ASS but get your priorities in order first . . . . You need to fuck!

Hope it works out brother !
