I started taking Zoloft like 3 months ago and my sex drive has decreased dramatically. My boyfriend is wondering whats wrong and I know its a symptom of the medication but is there any way to help the issue? Anyone ever have a similar experience?

you are correct, it's a side effect, cuz you took a drug, they are not magic pills from God, it's made in a lab and all drugs have side effects.......go here and just read ;

You said you have a low sex drive, and you know it's a symptom of your medication. And your boyfriend is wondering what's wrong? did you tell him it's a side-effect of the zoloft? If not, he needs to know.
Along with this you can still have sex.... even if you're not in the mood, just try it. You'll probably get into it after a few minutes. (I did).
You can also ask the doctor if he can lower the dose and see if that helps, but it would be up to the two of you.
As far as orgasms and some anti-depressants go, it might be a bit difficult to have one sometimes, other times no.
If you and your boyfriend had a good sex life, there is no problem with having sex to see if it's pleasurable. We don't have to have huge, fireworks and all sorts of orgasms to have pleasant sexual experiences.

Unfortunatly decreased sex drive is a symptom of taking zoloft. Talk to your Dr he may be able to help

That's a common side effect of SSRIs.
If it's not acceptable to you, then you should speak with the prescribing physician about alternatives or simply discontinuing altogether.
