I have the same issue. I take anti depressants, They are great for my mentality but horrible for my sex drive. It is completely non existent. When the H and I have sex I could care less, I have no desire, and the likely hood of "O" s, Well you can just about forget that.

Not saying "O"s are not possible just not worth the work. It might happen, but it is not that great when it does. It takes a HUGE amount of effort and the likely hood of it happening is maybe 10% of the time. Not worth the frustration in my book.

I have found a way combat this somewhat. The likely hood is increased to about 60% of the time, and there is some additional enjoyable sensation. I have noticed when I forget to take my meds just one time that things start to have a greater chance of happening in the bedroom. I have learned that I can skip one dosage of my meds on purpose, just one time and not totally freak out and start having withdraws.

That is possible on vacation or times when I know we will have no kids around. It has to kinda be planned. I do get headaches and the world starts to spin a little when I go much more then 36 hours with out my meds. I would rather not go any longer then that on purpose.

Hope that is something that can help you. I also was told to add Wellbutrin. That might work for some folks but not for me. I went 3 days with out sleep and couldn't deal with that anymore so I stopped taking it. The Dr did say I could stop taking my meds and switch to something else, but it would be a difficult transition and depending on how much I really want to have fulfilling sex would depend on if I should take that med or not. I chose not to. (Due to other relationship issues sex is not a priority) So from here on out it will be sucky sex for me. Hope you have better luck then I have
