Like any SSRI, Fluvoxamine can cause permanent sexual dysfunction.
SSRI should not be used unless their potential benefit is greater than the potential risk of permanent sexual dysfunction.
Even short term SSRI administration can be very uncomfortable and lead to short term SSRI discontinuation syndrome.
I know doctors treat SSRI like „let’s try, might help, can’t hurt“ candy, but they really shouldn‘t.

- ziml77 5y agoYou don't even have to stop taking it for that side effect to wear off. The amount of time it took for me to relieve sexual tension when I started on SSRIs was crazy. Many times I just gave up and tried again later. But it got better over the course of a few weeks and eventually got back to how I was before I started the SSRI. This isn't a guarantee that they will affect everyone the same way, but you can't judge SSRIs by the period when you're starting them.
