    Zoloft and Lexapro... (individually) both cause weight gain and make it hard for me to orgasm.

    They all effect everyone differently.

    Sure. Mostly bad short term memory difficulty concentrating, weight loss, then weight gain and complacency.
    Not to mention if I skip a dose I puke and feel like I have ebola. :( Effexor works well for panic attacks but its fucking addictive.

    Night sweats. I took them when I was a young teen (like 10 years ago, so I can't remember what it was)

    Never had to take them. But this one time I had to take a medication with way too many hormones and I cried uncontrollably for hours while it wore off.

    Paroxetine is the only i've ever tried - excessive sleepiness, vivid dreams (which i think is pretty cool even though some are extremely disturbing); minor ones that i've noticed - teeth clenching, excessive yawning/stretching in the beginning but not as much now

    overall the good effects outweigh the negative imo.

    Cipramil, 20mg. Extreme nausea, violent cramps, headaches. Unable to move from foetal position, basically. Fixed it by taking a quarter of atablet, starting weekends, so I could stay in bed in pain, it would settle down after a day or so. After a few weeks, I took a half, repeated the same process, then three quarters, then finally a whole tablet. Took for a couple of years and stopped about four years ago.

    Everybody above has covered anything I would have mentioned.
    Sexual dysfunction would increase depression so those drugs are pretty much counter productive.
