Actually I am leading almost a sexless life during past 5/6 years. My wife is a working lady. She is utterly conservative and frigid.
This is my second marriage. My first wife, a classmate, was too good in bed, she died 14years back in an accident. My psychological problems started then and after a treatment of 2years, by my psychiatrist's advice, I remarried, nevertheless I'm continuing the drugs still now.I think I have a high libido

Hi,

Thanks for writing back to me.

I consider the problem you are going through could be a side effect of the drug Ativan you are taking where changes in sexual drive can be expected with. Also the other drugs Amlopress and Valproic acid can aggravate the symptoms by causing depression which is one of the side effect of both the drugs.

I would ask you to consult your Psychiatrist and get your medications revised , by that way you can get rid of the problem you have.

Hope this helps.
