Ive been taking 10mg per day for about 3 months and have noticed that Im having a hard time getting to orgasm, what used to take 10 minutes is now taking upwards of an Hour and half. Is this due to elavil or is it in my head because I read about the possibility of loss of sex drive with the use of Elavil.

I doubt that it's in your head. I had the same problem with Prozac. I would talk to your doctor. There are other options, and while some doctors downplay the importance of a satisfying sex life when you're depressed, it does contribute to your quality of life.
