I don't really know if this is "proper" conversation here or not but i am gonna go here cuz i wonder if i am alone here or not. I am a happily married woman. Have been for 7 years. I still find my husband physically attractive. We have 3 children......so obviously at one point we enjoyed being intimate. It seems as I get older and the BP gets worse and i take more meds the less i want to be physically intamate. Its like the spark ran away..LOL! I crave that time with him, god would i love that time with him but the meds dont let my body enjoy it anymore. Am I the only BROKEN BP person here. Be honest, is anyone elts's body negitavly affected sexually by the meds and if there is someone that has found a fix beside lingure, lighting, candles, music blah blah blah. Please let me in on the secret...I am desprate here! I did find this oil that helps with sensation Thank GOD for Dr. Hilda but its not just about your body I cant even get the thoughts in my head. Its like i am too tired to feel sexy..All from the dang meds. Once every 3 months is not OK!
TELL ME I AM NOT ALONE HERE!

I am glad you brought this up because it also causes major problems with my husband.
Like AMThrasher, I used to have a very high sex drive and did some crazy things. My friends thought I was out of control and putting myself in dangerous situations but I never listened. Looking back now I think they were right.
I am on five different meds so it is hard to pin down which ones are causing this side effect but it does seem to get worse over time.
I have brought this up several times with my doctor but I don't think he realizes how much this takes a toll on my marriage.
Do we have to choose between having a sex life or being on meds?? I know I would not last too long with out meds so that is not an really an option. I have agonized over this for a long time.
