Brief Answer:
Bupropion and Mirtazapine.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome to HCM,

I can understand your concerns,

Most of the anti depressants can cause sexual dysfunction.

Bupropion and mirtazapine (prescription drugs)are considered to be safe in this respect. These drugs do not cause erectile dysfunction.

Kindly consult your psychiatrist and discuss about these two drugs.

Hope it helps.

Feel free to ask further.

Thanks.
