Alice,

Briefly, what are the effects of Prozac on libido?

—Feast or famine?

 

Dear Feast or famine?

Prozac has been associated with sexual difficulties, particularly difficulties in orgasming, and for men, in maintaining erections. In one large study, it was found that 2 percent of the people taking Prozac had decreased libido. For more detailed information about Prozac, or fluoxetine hydrochloride, visit the Eli Lilly and Company's Prozac web site.
