Waterfall Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 I use the Nuvaring, which is similar to the pill. For the past few months, I have lost my sex drive and become anorgasmic. It is really annoying. My other meds are Wellbutrin 150 Lamictal 400 Abilify 30 Klonopin prn I never had any problems on these meds. I've been using the Nuvaring now for many months and this loss is sudden. It is putting a strain on my marriage. Anyone else on the pill or ring or patch experience this???

Loon-A-TiK Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 since you've been using the ring for awhile and this loss is sudden, it seems unlikely that the ring is the culprit. i looked up the side effects of your other meds too (so i wasn't just going from the top of my head), and none indicate sexual side effects. the only thing i can think of is that if you're moderating your drinking and cutting down on that, alcohol is a drug, and you are changing your body chemistry with it and then without it. i'd bring it up with your pdoc, but i'm pinning my bets on just alcohol issues. you'll probably feel fine after your body adjusts (that's my totally non-medical theory).

Waterfall Posted September 29, 2006 Author Share Posted September 29, 2006 That's an interesting idea. Although I never had sex while drinking because it nuumbed me out. Sober, sex was fine. It just happened so suddenly that I wonder if it's not psychological. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loon-A-TiK Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 could for sure be the case! i'm having similar sex drive issues and i think it is psychological. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waterfall Posted September 29, 2006 Author Share Posted September 29, 2006 Are you on the Nuvaring too? I seem to recall you saying that you were some time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Perfection Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Waterfall, The Klonopin could be the culprit too. If I use it too long, my sex drive declines steeply. I've heard other posters mention the same. Maria I use the Nuvaring, which is similar to the pill. For the past few months, I have lost my sex drive and become anorgasmic. It is really annoying. My other meds are Wellbutrin 150 Lamictal 400 Abilify 30 Klonopin prn I never had any problems on these meds. I've been using the Nuvaring now for many months and this loss is sudden.
