Thanks Judy; One of the worst things that I wrestle with is my decreased libido. I'm married so it's an issue and I know the meds, which I have been on in one form or another since 1981, have been the reason. How do people deal with that in their marriages? Is there anything out there to help with this? That would be huuuggggeee for me. Any info you can impart or direct me to? thanks, Stephen

Stephen, here's a link to our Sexual Health web site where you might find some answers - it's a very common problem.  Have you talked to your doctor about it?  He might have some suggestions.  I don't know what all medications you've tried, but I know that Wellbutrin does not have that side effect; however, that may not be the right medication for you.  Anyway, you can ask a question or write a post there and see what responses you get, or look up the various topics they have information on.

 

Good luck, hope you find the solution.  It seems cruel that so many drugs have that side effect, doesn't it?

 

 

Thanks Judy!  I'll check that out.  I take a real "chemical cocktail" which took a long time to find and all together it's quite a bit of medicine, but I think effexor is the main libido killer.  I'll check out the link and thanks again   Stephen
