Hi i also wanted to ask if anyone has had a decreased sex drive with this med, when you're depressed you dont really feel that good anyway but i did still have a reasonably normal sex life,the desire was always there . i am only 26 and have a higher sex drive than my hubby but since taking this med i am not intreasted in the slightest i dont have any sexual feelings at all there is no desire . i feel bad for my hubby as he thinks it's him i have told him its not and tried to explain but there is such a diffrence i am worried he will get fed up with me. he has said he is happy to wait till i feel comfortable.
has anyone found this a problem ? or a similar experience
Hey, I'm in a very similar situation as I too have suffered from low sex drive since being on fluoxetine which is quite abnormal for me as it always used to be quite high even when depressed. Im sure my boyfriend is getting slightly frustrated but i've explained to him that it is better than me being a pain with him all the time! It is a bit annoying as it was the only thing I had left that I enjoyed and now if I do have sex I find it very difficult to orgasm. I just try to think of it as a price I have to pay to feel better and a chance to experiment with different things to see if they will get me in the mood again. Hope this helps, I know we're not the only ones!

Yes, it is happening to me as well, but since I am single, I don't mind it for the time being 
I'd like to ask the most experienced of readers in taking flu: is the lack of sex drive an initial side effect, or does it stay like this?
Thank you for letting us know.

I've been taking Flu for 3 weeks and I have lost sex drive also. :cry: I noticed this within the first week. I too cannot reach orgasm. To make matters worse I think I am going to have to start taking blood pressure tabs as well and I've read that they also have this side effect...
I've experianced totally different to you guys...I had no sex drive and then after taking Flu for a mth....whoosh....I've been rearing to go...sex life has never been better...sorry don't mean to brag! :D
