Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
Hi, I was wondering if anyone else has this problem and if you do, how do you deal with it? I am in the long process of coming off high doeses of epilim and am also on 100mg Zoloft. I am being treated for PTSD following a life time of recurrent depression, anxiety and all sorts of dramas. I have never had an issue before with libido (although I have always taken a while to get going) even being highly medicated but I am now in a new relationship with a gorgeous girl (I am lesbian) and I am having huge issues with my mojo. I have had flings with men and women since my last relationship and I have not had any sexual satisfaction with any of them.
Even when I try to "do myself" it takes a good half an hour of really going at it and often I end up just giving up because I cant be bothered. It is embarrassing and makes my partner feel inadequate and its a put off for both of us. I have ordered some pharmacy grade goat weed and am hoping that will help. I dont understand why now that I am saner than I have ever been, and less medicated I am having these issues. Does anyone have any ideas?

I know your frustration...i take lexapro and in the process of weaning off of it.
I would suggest talking to your doctor...in the meantime, try to have patience with yourself.
