There are no other signs of mania or hypomania could explain the hypersexuality (4, 5, 14) Some people who take certain types of antidepressants experience lasting sexual dysfunction for months or years after stopping the medication A field review says that it causes “substantial and prolonged suffering.” While ssris usually cause sexual dysfunction, rare cases like this suggest paradoxical effects on sexual desire About half of patients who take a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (ssri) develop sexual side effects on the antidepressant, but can those side effects persist after stopping it Patient groups have gathered to support the concept, and some medical organizations have endorsed it, but pssd is controversial
However, hypersexuality has never been found in patients taking ssri and antitypical antidepressant medications We present two new case reports to the scanty literature found up to now in this area This condition needs to be differentiated from the hyperactive arousal disorder already.
