how do u get back a sex drive?


Question:
i use to be really into it and i started when i was 15, but now im 23 and since i have found out at 18 i have bi-pola disorder ive been on medication and i dont care for it any more. i think i could go months without sex but i dont think my partner could. what should i do?

Answers:
I"m 23 also and I have no sex drive either. I"m on Effexor and wellbutrin. I talked to the doc and she confirmed that it was the meds. She sided to leave me on the meds though. She would rather my hubby not get any for a while than lose the little bit of progress these pills have given me. Hope things work out fro ya. Even if your man isn't getting any, if he's a real man he'll stand by your side til your ready

You need more testosterone.
check with you doctor maybe your medication is the problem some have sexual side effects ...
The medication is doing it.
Take a day or two off the med to have some hot sex.
Then go back on it.
seems to work for me.
The meds really mess you up...see if there's a different medication you can take which doesn't have as many sexual side effects.
You need to talk to your doctor. It may be your meds thats killing your sex drive. Also, if you are truly in love with your partner, that should be all you need to get in the mood. Look at it as emotionally connecting rather than sexual pleasure. Talk to him about it, try new things...
Yes, I agree with Kiri...more testosterone maybe needed, but going to have your dr check would be the best thing to do!
It's true that meds can affect sex drive like that. 15 is young to start. Some of the enjoyment of sex is in having a partner who is skilled in the art of making love, as well, and some is in what you are thinking, the psychological factors.

Are you ready for children? Have you been pregnant? Is this a partner that is committed to you, like married? Maybe you are realizing better than you did at 15 what a sexual relationship is about.

I suggest that you take it easy on yourself, and think about what you want in the relationship long-term as a whole. It could be that you are not ready yet. When you are really ready emotionally, physically and are ready for a family,, all these factors will maximize your sex life and minimize what effect the meds have.

I'd really hesitate before giving a young woman testosterone!
a side effect of alot of anti-d medication, prozac is very commonly used and has a side effect of lossin ur sex drive.... u should c ur dr.
Maybe repressed sex drive is a side effect of your medication. Discuss it with your doctor. If it's not your medication, find out what's causing it and see if you can resolve whatever issues-I don't mean necessarily a mental problem, there can be a physical problem- you have that's repressing it.
Your sex drive will suffer if you are taking an antidepressant such as Prozac or Effexor.

If you have not tried Wellbutrin, ask your doctor if you can give it a try. Wellbutrin has a low risk of side effects. In fact, you are more likely to experience an increase in your sex drive while taking Wellbutrin.

Sex is an important part of a relationship. It's the cement that helps to bond two people. Your partner will get down on his knees before you.
