SpartanForce Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 From the meds from my signature, I should not have this I guess. But I don't feel like any will to have a relation or sex, or attraction to woman like I did before, only in the evening I begin to feel desire but them I take the meds and sleep. What's going on? It is the Lithium? Or the AD? Before someone says that I am acting like this due to depression, I feel will to do others things, study, watch a movie, etc. I just don't feel "horny desire", that fire anymore to go after a woman... edit: I guess this is a thread more likely to go to "Side Effects - It Turned Me into a Newt! A newt! I Got Better." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head Trip Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Could be the depression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crtclms Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 You're suffering from illness. You are fighting every day just to get by. Sex is a primal urge, but it isn't a primal urge that is going to over ride your basic needs. Feeling briefly horny just means you are beginning to improve. The overall lack of libido does sound like depression. Is there a reason you are not on an AD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Neither of the meds you are on are likely to cause side effects sexually. Do you think you were perhaps hypomanic before the lithium and prone towards acting out more sexually, is that a possibility. I have to admit, sex has been on the lowest list of things for me lately, and I'm depressed. It's the depression, not really any of my meds. When I'm euthymic, I'm fine.

SpartanForce Posted November 3, 2011 Author Share Posted November 3, 2011 I think it was the valdoxan, now I am on wellbutrin and I finally feel the sex drive. Could be depression too before. Hope I stay in this combo now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
