Unable to achieve climax while on Prozac?

I've been on prozac for almost 5 months and so far I have had no luck with it, it just doesn't work and I have no side effects, but I haven't been able to orgasm for the past couple of months (after about two months of being on Prozac. Is this the Prozac's fault, or something else entirely?

Really, whether this is about the Prozac or not, since you're reporting it not working for you, period, sounds like it's high time to talk to your prescribing physician about a medication change.

You can also report that you suspect there may be some sexual side effects (and both Zoloft and Prozac tend to be two of the SSRIs most associated with that), and they can consider that in what they choose.

I won't be able to change medications until I go back to college. I just wasn't sure whether it was the Prozac because it started two months after I started taking it.

It is definitely possible that Prozac is behind this, but as Heather said, it's something you'll need to talk to your doctor about when you get back to school.
