Discussion Medications and libido

[Anthagonos]

Have anyone experienced low libido after taking some medication?
What happened when you stopped taking that medication?
Your body has come back to "normal"?

Depends on what you're taking. Pain meds opiods, opiates are known to lower testosterone levels. Some antidepressants can affect libido but also some are prescribed for premature ejactulation. Its normal with certain meds to affect libido especially if you're hitting that plus 30 mark. If you are male you can ask your Doctor for testosterone if you're over 30. If you are not lookup your medication online you'll find people with the same questions. You will return to baseline once you stopped taking your meds and there are some natural ways of helping boost your test levels. I dont have the ability to PM yet so I don't know if your comfortable posting what med you're taking but I could tell you quite quickly if it does affect your libido. Hope that helps

I haven't experienced it, but apparently some shrinks prescribe Wellbutrin to counteract loss of libido. You could ask if that were an option for you

Antidepressants used to lower my libido. I don't think they do anymore but I don't have anything to compare with because I've taken them most of my life.
