I am in the low sex drive club as well. I blame it on the tegretol but it could just as easily be the fact I am going through menopause, or the fact my health is in the crapper.

Either way, sex doesn't do anything for me anymore and I the only reason I still even have sex is because I love my husband and want him to be happy. My husband knows this and he don't pressure me about it. He knows I cant help it. Since I am bipolar 1 and go psychotic when manic I cant go off the meds so I guess this is just how it is now.

I really agree with ElsaMars's post. You are more than just sex. I would only add one thing. Tell your husband how this has made you feel. If hes a decent guy he is not going to want to make you feel like this.

Maybe talk to your pdoc, maybe they have some secret stash of meds that don't mess up ones sex life? If you find them, let me know, because this really does suck. I hope you feel better soon. Hugs
