It is impossible for your healthcare provider to know whether you will develop any sexual side effects while taking Emsam. Also, if a person does develop sexual side effects, it is difficult to know whether another condition or Emsam itself causes these problems.
However, if you develop any sexual side effects while taking Emsam, make sure to talk with your healthcare provider. There is treatment that he or she may be able to recommend, such as an erectile dysfunction medication. Depending on the severity of your Emsam sexual side effects, he or she may also recommend that you adjust your Emsam dosage or try a different medication for depression.
