My antidepressants are making me tired and eh

I have no sex drive anymore I am completely dead the depression makes me tired and makes me think sex is gross and evil. Is there something wrong with me.

Have you discussed your issues with whoever manages your meds? My doctor and I have had to deal with these issues. When she prescribed me Cymbalta I lost all interest in sex. Then she added Welbutrin, and I felt like a teenager being easily aroused frequently. Then we moved to Fetzima, which not only killed my sex drive but introduced erectile dysfunction to the mix. The Fetzima was replaced by Trazodone and Cialis. Things were going well until Lorazepam was added, which eliminated the effects of the Cialis. Now, at 55 I questioned myself if I wanted to keep fighting to keep my sex drive.

But I have met someone who understands my mental health issues, and she has persuaded me to keep plugģing along.

So explore your meds for effects that are detrimental to you sex drive. And are you talking with a therapist for help in this area? My therapist has been helpful and supportive; and recently I began seeing a Certified Sex Therapist, who has revealed some avenues I need to explore, which are not even sexual in nature but are impacting that aspect of my life.

So don't get discouraged. Talk to a therapist, and evaluate your meds to see what options you have for change.

I hope your efforts are fruitful.

When I was on ritalin my sex drive was too much now that I am on dexies and Pritiq my sleep is controlled but my sex drive is gone. I have a ****** psychiatrist so I had to change my address to fremantle to be seen and to be honest the only reason I am on anti depressants are again is because of my GP my psychiatrist is neglectful and didn't think I need anti depressants what an idiot...
