Personal question for the Ladies

Posted by Gin on July 11, 2001, at 12:00:35

I take clonazepam daily, usually 1 or 2 mgs. depending. I also tak 40 mgs of Prozac daily. I can't really tell if the Prozac is working. Does Clonazepam counteract Prozac? Also, for a year now I've had cysts on my ovaries, one is the size of a golfball. Dr wants to just "keep watching" them and hope they will resolve themselves. But a year now? Anyway, had another ultrasound the other day and now I also have a fibroid tumor, which I know are pretty harmless. Question. I have got about the lowest sex drive I've ever had in my life. I'm 37, have always enjoyed sex, but lately, I just don't even want to think about it. Also at times, it hurts because of the cysts. My poor husband. Anybody experienced this too? What did you do? Is it the medication making my libido disappear? Help!

Yes, prozac will make your libido disappear! How
long have you been taking it?

About 3 or 4 months.

Well I noticed it had a definite effect on my
libido, and ability to have an orgasm. But I noticed
it very soon after I started taking it.

I tried Prozac weekly for four weeks and noticed the low libido (no libido - never been a problem prior to Prozac), from the second week - fourth. One week after discontinuation I felt back to normal (which was wonderful - and a great relief).
