Sexual side effects are often an unintended consequence of antidepressant treatment. Given antidepressants of different classes are frequently paired together in order to improve therapeutic response, understanding their interplay in regards to sexual functioning is important.

The following case highlights the importance of understanding antidepressant medications and their combined potential effect on sexual function to prevent unnecessary complications in cases involving the history of paraphilic disorders and hypersexuality.
