Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
From your statement that you wife is on wellbutrin and prozac, i understand that she is probably getting treated for depression. Loss of libido in this case can occur cause of the following reasons:
1) Depressive symptoms
2) Perimenopauseal period
3) Prozac induced
In all three cases first you should XXXXXXX a psychiatrist.
If her depressive symptoms are not being controlled she should shift to a different anti depressant or take olanzapine along with the antidepressants.
At this age she should tale hormonal replacement. It will surely increase her sex interest aswell.
If it is prozac induced then in that case you should try taking cyproheptidine which can reverse the prozac induced sexual dysfucntion.
All said Viagra although meant for males, increases the female sexual interest and libido as well.
Hope I have answered your query. I will be more than happy to help you if you need any further clarifications.
