Libido

[elsa]

Does the amount of pristiq I take have an effect on my libido. E.g is there a difference between taking 100mg as opposed to 200mg?
Any experience with this? Doesn't have to be pristiq, I would imagine it would be similar with other anti depressants.
Any tips on how to get my libido back? I can no longer orgasm with my partner which is quite upsetting for us.
Cheers

Hmm, that is always a problem when it comes to anti-depressants, sadly.

Was your libido fine before taking it?

Yeah it was normal before the medication. Even when I feel like having sex it's still impossible to orgasm. Very frustrating :(

I remember a while ago I read about an SSRI anti-depressant that didn't affect libido was being created. Guess that's still on ice.

Usually two things help lowered libido: lowering the med dose and time. After around 4-5 months you may start to find it easier to orgasm. If not, you may have to drop the dose.
