Sex Drive

With the drug eluting stent and all the meds that I am on I feel like my sex drive has gone right out the window.  What can I do to get it back?

I am now very concerned.  I feel horrible today.  Still have this headache and upset to my stomach and week.  Still have some chest pain and I am now a little concerned over the whole thing.  Told my dr how I felt and she wanted to do blood work but decided to put me on another medicine.  Effient (prasugrel).  I did some research on the medicine and I am not sure I want to take this type of med.  This could cause bleeding???  Why would I want to take a drug that could cause bleeding.  She also wants me to continue taking 325mg of aspirin along with Crestor and Norvasc, Valtrex.  I also take 300mg of Zantac with my meds.  I think that is a little much.  My body is just not used to all this medicine.  I am so tired of feeling this way and I am not sure what to do.  I would like to enjoy my life.

I had several heart attacks, stent, triple bypass. My sex drive returned very quickly after
the first stent but as my disease increased, my drive diminished. Then after my triple bypass I basically became a enuoch. I do get the urge but my body feels too lethargic.
I'm not sure why you have no sex drive since stenting, the medication didn't stop me.
