Hi,

I've been on antidepressant(Effexor) for almost 5 months now my sex drive (desire) is gone! What can I do???

thanx!!

This is a very very common side effect of antidepressants. You should talk to your doctor about it and see if he/she can adjust the dose, or switch medications for you. Some people have better results on different types.( I hear Welbutrin is better for this, for example.)

Best scenario of course is that whatever your being treated for gets better and you can get off them. Good luck to you. :)

Sometimes the side effects lasts for months after getting off the antidepressants.

Get your Testosterone & E2 checked. The pills may have upset your male/female hormone ratio.

Good luck.
