MedHelp Member's Question

Accutane?

Tags: irritable

For almost a year I have had no sexual libido. I broke up with my boyfriend because I thought I was not sexually attracted to him but I have realized that I have no sexual disires for any men I find attractive. I have been with a couple men since then and sex and touching are no longer enjoyable to me;I get irritated in sexual regions even. I even get bored of kissing after a couple minutes. I also don't get cravings from reading cosmo or watching sex scenes in movies anymore. I never used to be this way at all; I had very little self control before. I looked online under Asexual and I fit the secondary stage where I used to be normal, but no longer am horny. It said it can be due to some sort of medication and it was then I realized that I started Accutane at the very time my problem arose. However, I was only on Accutane for 3 months, and it has been 8 months since I've been off of it. I know that I still love my boyfriend but it's almost impossible to be in a relationship again with absolutely no sex drive or sexual attraction. Please help!

See your doctor. The medication could have messed with your hormones. A simple hormone adjustment could put you right back on track.
