During a recent episode of “The Osbourne Podcast,” Ozzy opened up about the side effects he’s been experiencing since he started taking antidepressants. The rock icon said that the drug treatment had a bad effect on his body, especially his sex drive.
Ozzy said, per Fox News“One thing about antidepressants is that they kill your sex drive instantly. If you’re on antidepressants, with most of them, your sex drive goes away.”
His son Jack interjected, saying, “It’s not guaranteed; it is only a possible effect.” Ozzy then pushed back and said that losing sex drive is a “guaranteed” side effect of antidepressants.
The singer’s daughter, Kelly, joined the conversation, stating, “Dad basically said, ‘I’m on an antidepressant, and it’s taking away my sex drive.'” Ozzy agreed with him and said that every type of antidepressant he’s ever taken in his life. had “killed” his sex drive.
During the conversation with Observer last year, Ozzy revealed that he started taking antidepressants when his mental health hit a “plateau” that was much lower than he wanted it to be.
She said, “Nothing really felt great. nothing. So I went on this antidepressant, and it worked really well.

Treatment for Parkinson’s can cause side effects such as short-term memory loss and reduced cognition. He told Observer“You learn to live in the moment, because you don’t know [what’s going to happen]. You don’t know when you’ll wake up and you won’t be able to get out of bed. But you don’t think about it.”
The “Paranoid” singer also underwent multiple surgeries after falling at his home in 2019 and aggravating injuries from his ATV accident in 2003.
So far, Ozzy has undergone several surgeries, including back surgery, stem cell treatment, Hybrid Assistive Limb treatment and physical therapy.
Through it all, he has the support of his wife, Sharon Osbourne, who he says has kept him strong. He said, “Without my Sharon, I would f—– go. We have a few arguments now and then, but otherwise, we just get on with it.”

Sharon has also opened up about Ozzy’s health battle and recently revealed to Daily Mail that he is no longer “independent”. The TV personality talked about how careful they had to be with Ozzy because he had been taking “massive amounts of blood thinners.”
She explained that another serious fall could cause Ozzy to “bleed out” and compared her husband to a “piece of china” that needed “cotton wool” for protection.
She said, “For almost five years my husband was really sick. Relationships change all the time, as we do. We are at the point where I have taken care of my husband, not because I have to but because I want to and I love him. He has undergone seven surgeries in five years. There was nothing else they could do. Now it’s about recovery.”

During her conversation with the news outlet, Sharon said the most challenging part was watching Ozzy’s deteriorating health leave him dependent on crutches and a wheelchair for mobility.
She said, “I feel sad when I see my husband is not independent, he needs help. He was so enthusiastic, with a zest for life. But you learn to adapt.”
Sharon emphasized to the publication that she will “always be there” for Ozzy because she adores and loves him. He said, “I owe him a lot. He gave me the best thing in my life, my children.”
In recent weeks, Ozzy has been photographed walking around in a wheelchair amid his declining health.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee has also been seen using a cane on numerous occasions to get around. Ozzy’s mobility has worsened since he underwent “life-changing” surgery to remove and realign several pins in his back and neck. The pin was placed after a 2019 fall aggravated his injury.
