Has anyone experienced very low sex drive due to antidepressants?
I've been on my medication for a year now and I have practically no sex drive. My fiance has really been complaining lately. I wanted to know before I go see my doctor if anyone else has had this problem and how did you fix it.

I was on Lexapro for less than 3 days when my libido disappeared along with the ability to ejaculate - it is a very common problem. I quit due to that and a number of other unpleasant side effects (insomnia chief among them). Maybe a switch in your medication will make things better, but probably not. You may have to just accomodate your fiance's sex drive and hope things get better

yep, i have had those side affects with anti-depressants, they make pills of that kind now that barely effect the sex drive, i would seriously go to the doctor and tell him/her whats up and that you need help. He will either switch you to a new drug or give you another drug to help with the sex drive.

it quite is significant understand that generally drugs have distinctive outcomes on distinctive human beings. My husband is a sort of human beings who has the different predicted effect on maximum drugs. discomfort meds that are meant to make him drowsy/enable him to pick the flow into sleep impact him like the have been given a shot of caffeine into an I-V and he's up all nighttime...it would desire to be which you're a sort of human beings besides. I think of that as long as your melancholy responds nicely to this drugs, and you may shop up with the better libido, you husband won't whinge in regards to the better action in the mattress room. Heck, Honey, he would desire to even purchase you a maid considering you're too pooped to maintain the homestead clean! (in case you play your enjoying cards real!)
