loss of interest in sex after taking paxil antid's!?
Question:
Answers:
Re anti-depressants, my doctor recently changed me from Prosac to Cipralex and my libido quickly went to way below--nothing--. After 6-7 weeks I am just starting to feel like I might be a sexual person again.
Some pharmacological literature I have read says this loss of interest/desire et al often returns after 6-10 weeks on the medication. I know 2 people who have been 'asexual' for years due to these meds.
It is the person, the time, the specific anti depresssant in combination -and we ? they are all different. If I do not become as I was in another 4 weeks I am going to ask to go back on Prosac. I have heard--heresay that Remeron is the worst --makes you like neutered!
If I were you I would take the med for 10 weeks, if side effects are still giving you trouble see your doctor and try to go on another type. No matter what--do not stop taking them!!! Until you have seen a doctor!
THIS IS COMMON, AND PROBABLY WONT GO AWAY. I WAS A MED TECH FOR NURSING HOMES FOR YRS. AND WE ACTUALLY USED SOME ANTI-DEPRESSENTS PURPOSESLY FOR THIS EFFECT IN MORE "FRISKY" PATIENTS.
