Daxid is far superior as it come from reputed pfizer, but there are generic advocates who say they are the same. It is like 24k gold and 18k gold. Both are gold only. You make a choice.

Dear lybrate-user,
what is the severity of ocd? If you can manage without daxid for first 11-12 weeks, it will be better. If you think that your ocd will affect your child, it is better to continue along with folic acid 5 mg daily. Please do an u/s scan for abnormality at 11th week. All the best.

Daxid is sertraline which is an antidepressant which increases the serotonin uptake in neurons of brain. It is usually prescribed for depression or anxiety symptoms primarily. Now in sleep apnea it can be prescribed for the secondary mood symptoms of the disorder but if it is prescribed only for sleep apnea symptoms then it's not a rational prescription.

Hi lybrate-user. I understand your worry about the possibility of this side effect. But antidepressants cause erectile dysfunction will be very gross and generalised statement. Though sertraline, the drug you r taking, has a risk of sexual dysfunction in some patients, it is not as common as you think and you need not worry about it as if it happens, it is not irreversible.
