In reply to Re: Libido back to normal after 7 1/2 years., posted by Phillipa on June 7, 2010, at 12:30:26
Hi Phillipa. My wife and I both had a flu-like illness last September, except we didn't have a cough. Mostly low-grade fever, aches in the muscles/joints, tired and a sense of malaise that went away as soon as she took doxycycline 100mg bid for 10 days, although she had a Herxheimer reaction an hour after taking it which lasted 6 hours and was pretty bad. She recovered and only relapsed a few times mildly.
I didn't take any antibiotics and it finally left me 7 weeks later but I relapse from time to time.
Xanax increases 5-HT (serotonin) release and noradrenaline. That could account for the libido-blunting effects or it could be the high dose I was on (1mg QID). Stablon could have also been the culprit as I remember in 2008 I was on diazepam and Stablon and still had low libido.
Take care. :-)
PaulDiazepam (Valium) 10mg TID
