A class of drug (Selective Serotonin Reputake Inhibitor) designed to 'treat' depression, though there is no real evidence that these drugs work beyond temporary stimulation, numbing, placebo effect, or a combination of such. Remember, the 'treatment' of mental illness is highly subjective and is not well understood, making it an easy gray area to screw around with for profit. The 'clinical results' have been fudged by the pharmaceutical companies (who test the drugs themselves) and the FDA, and what little reliable information left obfuscated by nondescript language and misrepresentation. There are many dangerous side effects which have been reported, and are also underplayed purposely to boost sales. In reality, we understand very little about the nature of Serotonin and the brain, so giving SSRI's to 'depressed' patients is simply a stab in the dark to avoid dealing with real issues at hand.

ssri stands for selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor. they are a class of antidepressants commonly taken to treat depression and anxiety. examples include prozac, zoloft, and lexapro.

many men who take these medications feel no side effects except for the universal one: ssris make men take an extremely long time to cum during sex. it usually takes about 30 minutes or more. though this can be nice for the girl, it is usually frustrating for the guy as they might not be able to cum at all during sex.

If combined with death grip, this can be fatal.

A person with persistent, possibly permanent, sexual incapacity -- inability to achieve either erection or orgasm, or drastically reduced libido -- due to the side effects of SSRI antidepressants.

A woman who has knowingly lost interest in sex due to the use of SSRI anti-depressants.

Oftentimes, these women are fully aware of the fact that the SSRI's have eliminated, or sharply reduced their libido, but they don't care, some women even see a reduction of sexual urges as being beneficial.
