If you are taking certain medications, such as Prozac, Zoloft, Lexapro, Paxil, etc., that could be playing a role.  Also, if there is a lot of stress in your life during this period of time, that can certainly dampen your sex drive. 

 

You may want to contact your primary care provider to see if anything physical might be going on. 

 

Good luck.

This is very difficult for me to admit, but I firmly believe that the lack of libido caused by my meds, contributed to my divorce. I wasnt interested at all...

When I started coming down off of my meds, Lamictal, Lexapro & Xanax...I saw a huge change in my libido. I came down gradually off my meds and I noticed that even lowering the doses helped. Of course, now that I am off of my meds (because of $$$) I really feel like I need to be back on them, but maybe at the lower dose level. It is of course to late to save my marriage, I wish I would have tried lowering my doses a few years ago, but the doctor didnt seem to think it was a good idea.
