Can Poor Libido Caused By Antidepressants Be Treated?
Hello! I have been on a rainbow of antidepressant medications for the past six or seven years. I do not feel, with my psychiatric background that decreasing the dosage of my medications is an option. I know that one of the side effects of antidepressants is decreased libido. I have NO libido which makes things difficult for me and my boyfriend. When we have sexual relations, he tries very hard to help me have an orgasm but to no avail. What would you suggest?
