Most of these threads seem to be about sex, and I'm going to add to that I'm afraid.
My sex drive seems to have got less and less over the last year or so. Now it's practically nothing. I'm on effexor at the moment, but I don't know if its that or depression that's having this effect - really I have no energy for anything my, I prefer sleeping ;)
I wouldn't mind if I didn't have a partner who deserves it at least a few times a week!

>I just switched from Effexor XR to Wellbutrin XL for this very reason. Just went to pdoc today- so I'll let you know how it goes... I have to withdraw from E first (and deal with the headspins and nausea) for nine days before I can start the W.
I'll keep you posted...

yeah, Effexor XR pretty much killed my last relationship. I had a gorgeous girl who wanted attention every day, and I had to make excuses and put her off constantly - which was really unfair to her.
I really don't think any ADs are good or even neutral for your sex drive, no matter how much their makers try to say otherwise.

Sorry to interrupt, but I'd like to redirect follow-ups regarding medications to the main Psycho-Babble board. Here's a link:
