But lately, hmmmmmmm, I'm feeling better!!
So it's not the meds!
sometimes i am not into sex at all, but then i'll want it all of a sudden. i blame the meds for my own situation, cuz i used to want it more.
I've got the opposite problem!!! I'm hypersexual!!! (Which isn't nearly as much fun as it sounds!!) Thank God the Lamictal tones it down a bit, but I'm in high drive ALL the time!! I have 2 speeds!!! Hypersexual, and SuperHypersexual!!!!
However, it seems when I go into hypomania I want sex more, I'm more easily turned on, etc.
My libido was low before I started on meds, and the SSRIs I'm on, and have been on for a few years, have taken what little I had and tossed it out the window.
What does help, though, is having some activity you enjoy doing. Like a hobby or something. I find that when I'm more passionate about what I'm spending my time with it's easier for me to get in the mood.
Hypomania increases my drive big time.
This is sad since Im married to a young hot man that has the sex drive of a teenager lol. He is 24 and Im 33... we should both be in our primes yet Im missing something. I had this problem befor my meds I blame it on depression and now meds, but Im sure my abuse has something to do with it
now, along with two antidepressants, i take BuSpar, which i have read is known to increase libido. well, that's exactly the effect it has had on me. too bad i don't feel pretty enough to get out and meet people. i might could have some fun if i would. ugh.
When I was takin Wellbutrin I couldn't get it up if Shakira was was offerin' it! When I'm hypersexual I would take it from a Golden Girl
