    Thanks for this reply. To be honest I’m not so worried about the well-known sexual side effects. Instead I worry about fertility effects. The paper I mentioned in the OP says that fertility should return to normal when you come off SSRIs, so I guess that’s good. But then I came across an article mentioning a study on rats, where they apparently found impaired fertility “which persisted after the drug was stopped”.

    I bet most local doctors don’t even know of these effects. They’ll know about erectile dysfunction etc, but this is something different to that.

    Maybe I’m worrying too much, I don’t know. I wonder if anybody on this site has heard of these effects before.
