Abstract

Objective: Sexual side effects are frequent, causing poor compliance and recently being considered as side-effects of antidepressant treatment. In this study, it was aimed to compare sexual side effect profiles of different group antidepressants and to assess the results under literature. Method: The study group consisted of 300 patients (182 females, 118 males)who had applied to diagnosed as mood disorder (n=165), anxiety disorder (n=70), somatoform disorder (n=59)and adjustment disorder (n=6)according to DSMIV. After the patients have been divided into four groups (n=60/group), each group was given chlorimipramine (mean: 168.2±24.2 mg/day); fluvoxamine (mean: 143.4±16.7 mg/day); sertraline (mean: 114.7±14.4 mg/day);paroxetine (mean: 42.3±3.9 mg/day); and moclobemide (mean 336.8±42.6 mg/day)respectively. All subjects were fulfilled a semistructural form which included sociodemographic, clinical characteristics and sexual function informations including libido, erection, lubrication problems and orgasm problems at the beginning and sexual information part one month later if drug tolerated. Results: Of the patients, 98 had (% 32.7)any sexual side effect. Of them, 12 expressed spontanously and 86 (% 87.8)by provocation. Decreased libido was the most frequent amongst all side effects. Paroxetine and sertraline reported side effect frequently. Conclusions: Results of our study revealed that sexual side effects were an important problem in front of antidepressant treatment.

Özet

Amaç: Cinsel yan etkiler antidepresan tedavinin sık görülen, tedaviye uyumu olumsuz etkileyen istenmeyen etkileridir. Çalışmamızda, değişik gruplardan antidepresanların cinsel yan etki profillerinin karşılaştırılması ve bulgularımızın yazın ışığında değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Çalışma grubunu DSM-IV tanı ölçütlerine göre duygudurum bozukluğu (n=165), anksiyete bozukluğu (n=70), somatoform bozukluk (n=59) ve uyum bozukluğu (n=6) tanısı kondu. Hastalar altmışar kişilik gruplara ayrılarak her bir gruba sırasıyla klomipramin (ortalama: 168.2 ±24.2 mg/gün); fluvoksamin (ortalama: 143.4 ±16.7 mg/gün);sertralin (ortalama: 114.7 ±14.4 mg/gün);paroksetin (ortalama: 42.3 ±3.9 mg/gün)ve moklobemid (ortalama: 336.8 ±42.6 mg/gün) verildi. Hastalara sosyodemografik ve klinik özelliklerin yanısıra; libido, ereksiyon-lubrikasyon sorunları ve orgazm sorunları gibi cinsel işlev bilgilerini içeren tarafımızca hazırlanan yarı yapılandırılmış bir form çalışmanın başlangıcında ve ilaç tolere edilmişse cinsel fonksiyonla ilgili bilgiler kısmı bir ay sonundaki kontrollerin de uygulandı. Bulgular: Hasta grubunun 98 inde (% 32.7) en az bir cinsel yan etki belirlendi. Bunların 12'si (% 12.2) yakınmayı kendiliğinden, 86'sı (% 87.8) sorgulama sonucu dile getirdi. Tüm yan etkiler arasında en sık belirlenen libido azalmasıydı. En fazla yan etkinin gözlendiği ilaçlar paroksetin ve sertralindi. Tartışma: Çalışmamızın bulguları cinsel yan etkilerin antidepresan tedavinin önünde duran önemli bir sorun olduğunu ortaya koydu.
