Q: Is there any bipolars that don't want to have sex anymore?
Nowhere near as much as I used to. But maybe it's just being married so long.
I WISH - my sex drive is sometimes an affliction
I can agree that what I am has affected this area of my life.
When I'm on an SSRI, I for sure feel that way. Plus being in perimenopause makes it alot worse!!!! Right now I'm not on an SSRI, but I'm not like I used to be in the ln days LOL!!!!
DC.
The high sex drive associated with bipolar disorder is typically only seen in manic phases. If you notice your sex drive fading, it may not be that you are losing it completely, it may be that you are at "normal". If it is non-existent, however, you may be entering a depressive phase. If you feel as though you still have other manic behaviors, it may be a mixed phase. Look over what symptoms you are currently experiencing: do you feel manicky, depressed, or mixed?
