Sexual issues probably because of my meds

...See more For reference I'm 19. I've been taking fluoxetine 10mg daily for a few months for my OCD and anxiety now. I've always experienced anorgasmia caused by it, but I haven't got an appointment yet to get alternatives. I've talked to my therapist about it though. A week ago I missed a dose, and after a few days i started experiencing a prominent lack of libido as well as arousal and *** issues. The only time I had experienced erectile dysfunction was when my depression and anxiety were at peak, right before I sought medical help. The doctor told me to increase the dosage to 20mg a day, which did help with the erectile dysfunction a bit but not totally. And my libido is still prominently down. Another thing that has been happening for some reason is I sometimes have high BP, around 140/77 or something like that, but usually it's around 120/80. I exercise almost 7 days every week, I do muscle training and cardio. I haven't had any additional concious stress lately. But I don't know what to do right now and how to deal with this. It is taking a heavy toll on my self esteem although my partner makes me feel very safe and makes me feel like I'm enough, I myself am having negative thoughts regarding it. I appreciate any and all help. Cheerio!
