I would definately check with your doctor before you do anything. How do you know you need meds to begin with? If you do require meds, you work with doc to make sure there will be no interactions with your pain meds and without the libido killing effect. Also, you may want to check with your doc or therapist about anger management classes. Oh, and since you posted this in the relationship section, let me just say, a man who does not want you to go on meds that can really lessen your symtoms and improve the quality of your life because he believes it would affect your libido does not have your best interests at heart no matter how kind you say he is...actions speek louder than words. Heck, if I were you, I'd be angry as he11 too. Please see your doctor before you do anything. Good luck and keep posting.
