I have been on A/D's for over 12 years and most of those 12 years I was, and currently am, taking prozac. I know with prozac over time, my libido returned, but as you probably heard, everyone reacts differently to meds. I am currently on 100mgs prozac, 90mgs remeron and 300mgs lamictal and my libido is just fine.

> I don't really know how to explain this new sexual side-effect. I am on 60 (soon to be 80..maybe 100) mg's of Prozac, 5 mg's of Zyprexa, and 2 mg's of klonopin. I feel this very wonderful calm in the late evening, and even if aroused, I have no desire to, uh, "do" something about it. (Dating has been horrid and spotty lately..lol.) It's like I've lost that anxious 'impulse'. It does, and doesn't bother me...because I feel so dang *relaxed*, so I guess the "ultimate" test will be when I jump into my next relationship. Maybe this is a good thing...I dunno...but my doctor also says he has seen folks eventually over a long period of time get their sex-drive back on Prozac, and mentioned that Zyprexa also has been shown to help with SSRI sexual side-effects. Well...we shall see...but I was wondering what other's experiences are? In particular, those who have been on an SRI/SNRI for more than a year.
