This sucks. I seriously have NO sex drive anymore. It's gone. I'm blaming it on the Zoloft b/c i don't know what else it could be. Ever since i started taking meds my sex drive has become almost non-existant.
Example: Last night after the kids and everyone was in bed, me and Ben went over to break in our new big tub. Candles lit, bubble bath...so nice...but i just wasn't into it or something. Maybe it was sex in water though...didn't feel so great. So we stopped and laid in the tub a little longer then got out...laid a towel on the bed and tried again. Nope...i just wasn't into it and it was making me feel sore and hurt a little, i guess b/c i wasn't very responsive....i don't know. But this just sucks. I told him it was b/c of my meds and i was sorry. He's quetioning whether or not i still find him attractive and want to have sex, he says that since we aren't really doing it much anymore he's afraid i'm going to go elsewhere...but it's not like that...it's not like i don't want to have sex w/ him, b/c i do, i just can't get in the mood anymore which makes it hurt. The last few times we've done it i've had to make him stop b/c it starts hurting like i'm sore.
So when i go back to the psychiatrist next month do i tell him about this? Will he tell me tough shit or can he help? I don't want to switch meds b/c these are really helping and i can not quit taking them right now...not stable enough yet. What do you think the doctor will do? Will he want to switch my meds or will he try to prescribe me something that will help (even though i don't really want to take more pills), but i've got to do something different b/c even though this is causing me (and ben) a lot of frustration. Any advice?
I had no sex drive on zoloft also, i also found that i could'nt get "wet" enough or something because sex actually became painful
I was the same way on Zoloft, unfortunatly most anti-depressants carry that side effect. I think there's a new one out now called wellbutin? something that that, supposedly there aren't sexual side effects
I was the same way when I was on zoloft. I have been off of it for a while now(long story) but I have finally started getting my sex drive back. When I was on it, we would seriously go like weeks without doing the act, and when we did I was rarley into it. There is a new kind depression medication out now that isnt supposed to have those side affects, but Im not sure what its called. Anyway, your not alone, I felt the same way!
