I think that lost libido is a common thing with antidepressants. I used to be an insane bunny rabbit and my husband was worried he couldn't keep up!
Mind you, after depression hits, sex is the last thing on your mind. After my depression was under control, I changed to wellbutrin. Much better for sex, but not the same as when you are unmedicated.
I started having severe panic attacks, so I am on effexor. It surprisingly worked very quickly and decreased the panic, but sex again does not seem as interesting as before.
I have resigned myself to infrequent sex. I don't know if you have the same problem, but it seems that lubrication may be contributing to my problem. What about you?

> I do have one complaint though, Effexor has absolutely killed my libido. I'm wondering if anyone else has had this experience and if so have they found any effective solutions. I'm a 42 year old female....in case that makes a difference.
