I normally masturbate at least once or twice a day and fantasize all the time. Since the higher dose of meds and my first week of school being this week, I've hardly been thinking about sex at all.

I watched porn last night and forced myself to masturbate, and today looked at Nazi pictures and wasn't aroused at all. Thinking about sexual things isn't doing much for me, even the normal fantasies aren't making me aroused.

I'm not sure if this is because I have so much to do with school or if it's because of the meds.

I would have said the meds were probably the large factor, although school may well have added on an extra bit. Is it important to you to think about sex at the moment, or it is largely habit? I guess if it does bother you, I would seek to talk to the doc about the meds and see how you might be able to reduce any stresses at school if you haven't already.

I'm agreeing with Pandoren. School is likely playing a significant role (change of environment coupled with the natural stress with classes), but I'm always suspicious of psychiatric medications when someone mentions their libido has dropped. As I understand, it's a very common side effect.

I'd mention it to your doctor, especially if it hasn't come back to normal in say a week or so.
