Prozac & Sexual health
by valtos3, Feb 03, 2008 09:16PM
Hi,
I was treated for stress & depression with Prozac. I used the medication for 18 months with great results. I managed to reduce my dose and finally stop the medication 7 months ago. Although the impact that it has it on my life has overall been tremendous it has left me with a lingering side effect - I have absolutely no sex drive. I had thought that this side effect of the medication would gradually disappear and my normal sexual drive would return after cessation of the medication, however sadly not. Prior to taking prozac I had what I would consider to be a normal sex drive, now 7 months on from ceasing the drug I have not returned to having my previous sexual desire.
I am very fortunate in that I have an incredibly supportive husband who has been unbelievably understanding. However we wish to start trying for children but I still have absolutely no sexual urges what so ever. I feel as if I have been sexually switched off - how can I switch this part of my life back on?
