Question:
I am a 47 year old healthy female, currently taking Zoloft for depression/PTSD. I am experiencing unwanted, unstimulated, clitorial spasms, similar to very short orgasms VERY frequently. I am celibate at the time, and have no desire to have sex really, I don't fantasize, I don't read steamy books or watch sexy videos or look at sexy pictures. I live a mundane, slow life. While this might not seem like a problem to some people, it's very annoying and I would like it to stop. Of course, it doesn't hurt at all, it's just distracting when I'm trying to concentrate or sleep or relax. Sometimes I'll masturbate thinking a full blown orgasm will alleviate the spasms, but it doesn't help, they start right back up again immediately. What would cause this? How can I stop it?

Thank you for contacting me in regard to your problem of unwanted and unstimulated, spontaneous orgasm-like clitoral spasms. Unfortunately, I could not be of help to you because this area does not fall under my specialization and competence. I encourage you to consult a psychiatrist who is also experienced in the treatment of sexual dysfunctions. Zoloft, an antidepressant drug of a group of drugs called SSRTIs, is known to cause sexual dysfunctions in women, majority of the problems being decreased sexual desire, and/or delayed or inhibited orgasms. There are reports that Zoloft (Setraline) and some other antidepressants have caused spontaneous orgasms in some men. Therefore it is possible that in your case too, Zoloft could be the cause, but this needs to be determined by a psychiatrist. Please consult one near your locality.
I would appreciate if you could care to inform the outcome through email: poosha@vsnl.com.
Best wishes.Reviewed by Sexual Health Editorial Team
