I (M) had the same with one that worked well in all ways except for that side effect. But I was still new into getting onto an SSRI so I hadn’t exhausted all the different kinds/brands yet. We moved onto a different one and we got rid of the side effect. I get that not everyone might be as fortunate though.
I have this side effect with my SSRI. When I told my doctor about this, they told me “well, you find other ways and your partner can help you”.
Since then I always tell my partners first. For some it took time to not take it personally. On the other hand they were sooo happy when it worked.

I have two brands – both generica – to choose from. Both have the same side effect.
But not using the medication and feeling worse … it’s just not worth it.
