Medications and Sex
Sat, 03/10/2007 - 12:29Hi, I was just wondering if anyone knows which medication(s) may produce the most sexual side effects. I am on 4 different medications and my sexual desire went way down to just about nothing. I don't know what pill is doing this to me (and I know it is the drugs). My boyfriend is getting so frustrated with it as well as I am, but I don't know what to do.
Does anyone have any idea which medication may have produced this more than the other medications? If you are having the same problem, which drugs are you taking? Can someone please help me?

I understand your feeling.....I am engaged at the moment, and I feel that I have lost my sexual desire..... I am waiting until marriage(this summer) for sex, but when that day comes, I sure hope I have the desire. I take 3 different medications. Can depression weaken your sexual desire?

One thing that can help with that is homeopathy. Use it in conjunction with your meds and it can not only help your libido but your e as well! Just make sure you include libido as an important part of the condition you want to address. Of course tell your neuro that you are doing it. Some people are skeptical, I know, but it really does work.
