SO all these meds are killing my sex drive. I still think my bf is a very attractive man, its just so hard to get going like I once did. Im just not feeling the spark. This is combined with the heightened anxiety ive been dealing with lately and the just being plain exhausted. When is enough enough, concerning side effects of decreased libido? Are there any drugs in particular that are known for having less of an effect? Its really starting to take a toll on my relationship, unfortunately.

Which med specifically do you think is doing it? Is it just the lack of mania?

it could also be a lack of mania, but ive maintained somewhat of a sex drive even through previous depressions with this boyfriend, and i'm currently mainly stable (struggling with anxiety issues) and now having lack of sex drive completely

Anxiety might have something to do with it.
