I have no interest in sex again. At first when I stopped Geodon my sex drive returned.I have changed meds because I thought the meds were the problem. Well Now I only take 15 mg of Abilify, and when my husband of almost two years tries to arouse me I am hardly in the mood. I wonder if I might have fallen out of love and what others do to fall back into love? I have been with my partner for 6 years faithfully. Cheating is not an option for me. I am a faithful girl.

i notice I am more sexually arroused when I am on the up side but when on the lower end I could care less about being touched. So I don't think it is you it is the illness and the chemical imballances we go thru. If this helps?

I agree with socialbutterfly. I can tell you over the years my sexual interst has cycled with my moods.

While in the pdoc's office, some of the clients started talking. One of the ladies said there is a med. we can take to increase sexual desire. She never did say what it was, but she did say it was for women. Does anyone know what med. she might have been referring to?

I don't know I wish I could try that med....

this is not very helpful but i do remember seeing commercials for an herbal supplement or pill or something that was like viagra for females..i googled it and found names like provestra and lyriana but i know nothing about them

as for knowing if you've fallen out of love? I think it takes more than review of your sexual history to decide that. How are all the other aspects of your relationship going?

I say hold off on any relationship analysis till you get the sex thing under control. Also, I hear marriages have their ups and downs no? (never married, so I'm kinda talking out my butt here) Maybe there's things you could do (umm) in the meantime...I say if things are good, it's worth it to put in a little extra effort.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
