Hi Ljs,

I know exactly what you're talking about here!! *hugs*
My husband is bipolar and I thought we were the only ones going through this. He was diagnosed as bipolar years ago-before we met. We've been married for about 3.5 years now and in the beginning of our marriage we had a tough time because he had these outragious (sp) sexual cravings. I mean this man can go for hours (if you let him lol). We used to get into these huge fights over it and his doctor told us the same thing. I was doubtful too until she put him on medication to help control it and it worked for about a week. He said he felt normal and I felt less pressured. After that it was back again. Because he's a rapid cycler he has to see his doc often and she has to increase his dosage to his normal meds or start something different but those sexual cravings are still there and we are still struggling with it.

So I know how you feel. Talk to your doctor about medication for that and see if that helps. I wish the meds my husbands doc put him on would have still worked but....as with any medication it's trial and error.

Good luck!
