I used to have a really high sex drive and ever since I started taking an anti-depressant it's gone....

Are there any natural ways of increasing your sex drive? Or is there some kind of medication I can take??


(Quitting my AD is not an option)

Thank you!

I wish I had the answer to this question also- but you could try switching your antidepressant. I was on Zoloft and Celexa in the past and both killed my sex drive. I switched to Wellbutrin XL which is a completely different kind of antidepressant and I regained most of my sex drive. Perhaps that could help. I believe that's the only anti-depressant that doesn't have loss of sex drive as a side effect.

Exercising a lot is basically the only real option to increase one's sex drive.

I know.....It's just that I've been through **** trying to find an AD that will work for me and I don't want to go through that whole process again.....Thanks

I can completely understand that. It is a bummer to have to deal with this. You could try exercise. I've heard that helping and you can also try putting on a sexy perfume or buying sexy lingere to make yourself feel like a sex kitten Or maybe roll playing will get you in the mood.

What are some things that you and your lover did when thiings were hot and exciting? Maybe you can try re-live those moments

Masturbating less increases my sex drive, though it may be different for girls.
