Ive seemed to have lost all interest in sex recently, the past 6 months.
Went through a bad bout of depression and anxiety last year, still ongoing but feeling a little better and even though Im feeling better my libido hasnt returned.
tried it a few times with my partner and no interest.
All other aspects of our relationship are good.
Really worrying me as my anxiety has gone in to overdrive now as whats wrong with me? is my relationship in trouble
Hi ellebi,
A number of things can affect libido, and anxiety is one of them. It's easier than it sounds I know, but taking measures to limit your anxiety may help your sex drive.
Have you been on any anti-depressant or other medication? Sometimes this can cause low libido as a side effect. It is very important that you carry on taking the medication as advised by your doctor even if that is the case, but if you bring the issue to their attention they may be able to help you.
Hope that helps
Yes I went through 3 medication changes last year and am currently on an antidepressent an an anxiety drug. I am seen my Phychologist this week for a check up on meds so might check then and see could this be the problem?!
UPDATE **For a considerable amount of time now, I have no interest in sex like none at all.
It came back a little bit last xmas for a while but it is firmly gone again.
I suffer with Anxiety, Panic Attacks and Depression and am on and off alot of medications etc. Currently I am nearly a month off lyrica after been on it 2 years so obviously side effects on antidepressents and these type of drugs can cause loss of libido.
Anyway, my boyfriend is very supportive and understand what I am going through but its really bothering me like will my interest ever come back again??
Is there anything I can take to help get it back?
Why is it going on so long?
