I actually have some sex drive for the first time in forever though I think that is due to the Adderall.

It's not at all related to recent late nights with my daughter. This is years and years, even after I got off the pill, I think it got better when I got off most psych meds in order to prepare for pregnancy. And sex drive during pregnancy is weird, there are times you have it in droves and times you don't.

Since I've been on psych meds, I've pretty much lacked a sex drive, and that started when I was 19. But I realize too being on the birth control pill can affect sex drive as well. Before that, yeah, I was hypersexual. My daughter was born when I was 29, about a month away from turning 30. Meds have pretty much affected my sex drive most of my adult life. After my daughter was born, I had a copper IUD for awhile to avoid hormones and then had it removed around the time she was 3, 3 1/2 years old, but I was on psych meds again and again no sex drive. I remember I took Cymbalta a long time, this is when they figured I had post-partum depression, I don't know, maybe I did, who knows? I did OK on it for close to a year and then it stopped working, but post-partum, hormones are haywire for awhile anyway.
