I've noticed that in the last year my libido has really dropped. Any of you ladies know of any medication/prescription that helps with this? I may ask my neuro but a little embarrassed, I thought I'd check here first. Thanks.

Have BOTH estriol(good estrogen), progestrone(works with estrogen) and your TESTOSTERONE level checked. It is the last one that gives you your libido ..even in women. IF you need hormones make sure to get BIOIDENTICAL hormones as from what I read they are much safer for you.

PLEASE go to doc and get tests. Let us know IF they find anything and if so how it works for you.

Best Wishes

Well, being a man, I am out of my league a bit on this one from a female perspective. But I know since I have taken anti-anxiety medicine, I have seen mine go down a bit as well.

Anti-Depressants and Anti-Anxiety pills are generally known for this. MS has given me an increase in anxiety in the past year and they started me on Efforex. Libido is not dead, just not what it was.

Not sure if this helps. Take care, - Tom
