My meds got increased and now i have no desire for sex. I don't know if i should mention it because it was a real problem before. Kind of nice to not want it.
I had fantasies of asking my ex to have an affair, we were alone which never happens, and i could have brought it up. I didn't. Which is good. But that's how sex crazy i was and now guys offering I'm like no i don't want that person touching me. Never used to care because i wanted sex so bad. Finally told a guy i was dating just don't want to see him, he wanted to have sex, i don't. I pushed it off as long as possible. I don't know if it's because I've become a christian or what. __________________ Son: 14, 12/15/2009 R.I.P.  Daughter: 20  Diagnosis: Bipolar with Psychosis. Latuda 100 mgs. |

I am pretty sure that decreased sexual desire is a common side effect of many anti-depressants. Is this causing you a lot of distress or interfering with a close romantic relationship? If not maybe just give it some time as you adjust to the medication the issue may work itself out.

Christians have sex so I doubt you don’t want sex because of that. It’s likely med side effects. My sex drive went downhill after I hit menopause at 52, so that’s that too

Maybe i hit menopause i am 46. Psychiatrist said not the med, maybe the iud i started a few months ago. But the change was after the med. Hope i get some kind of sexual energy. But right not just not into it.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
