[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 676423, member: 1963"] He may have good reasons for not taking the specific medication he is on. One side effect of SSRI/SSNI medications that can really be an issue, especially with young men, is that they cause difficulty is attaining/maintaining an erection, and difficulty in reaching orgasm. There are also other unpleasant side effects, but the sexual side effects of modern antidepressants are the main reason younger men especially quit taking them. These medications affect women in the same way, by the way. If he is experiencing side effects, but the depression is being helped by the medications, perhaps the doctor can try one of the older anti-depressants. in my opinion, therapy is just as important as medications in the treatment of depression.
