“It ‘s very likely that sexual dysfunction post-treatment, such as genital anesthesia, are not adequately reported. Physicians should be made aware of this unpleasant phenomenon. A formal post-treatment surveillance is absolutely justified.”
– The Open Womens Healt Journal , 12/2007
“In the recent peer-reviewed literature, three separate case reports have detailed sustained persistence of sexual dysfunction and genital anesthesia well after termination of SSRIs in the absence of residual psychopathology or another identifiable disorder. In each report, the annoying symptoms were absent prior to antidepressant therapy.”

“SSRIs \ SNRI antidepressants are so effective in creating sexual dysfunction which are sometimes given as a treatment for premature ejaculation. However sometimes these sexual dysfunction can continue even after stopping the drug.”
