Bupripion or low dose aripripazole can be used to mitigate the sexual side effects of SSRI medication. You can try that under the guidance of your doctor or ask him to change the medication.

Dear Lybrate-User, escitalopram and clomipramine can cause ed. You have to compromise between ocd/depression and ed. Which is better for your quality of life. Are you married? Are you planning to have a child? If so and if you are having benefit with these drugs, you can try sildenafil for sexual intercourse. Please discuss with the same doctor treating ocd. No need to consult sexologist unless referred.
