Boosting my sex drive.
I'm recently having trouble really being in the mood.. and when I am seems like he's not and vice versa. Any ideas? I am on birth control but have been for about 6 years so I don't think that is it. I am also on prozac though, so if anyone has experienced low libido on that that'd be good information. My doctor said that prozac usually doesn't effect sex drive though so I don't think that's it. I miss my sex drive!
Re: Boosting my sex drive.
Yeah she kinda made me feel bad talking about how that's not common with prozac.. I was like oh.. okay.. maybe it's just me then..
And on the birth control, really? I thought since it was fine before it should be fine now. Although.. now that I think about it.. I have switched brands a few times just for monetary reasons.. hm.
St. John's Wort. It helps with depression and anxiety, and it put my sex drive through the roof.
ETA: B12 can also help since it increases your energy.
Of coruse it won't always be fine - the hormones in the pill stay the same, but YOUR hormones change as you get older. So the effects can definitely be different over time. You may now need a lower dose.
Loss of libido is the #1 complaint of BC pills.
Haha nah. Was super emotional that week. I'm still embarrassed I posed that. I am working on my communication though. Brooding less.
Hm.. shall definitely have to try that. In between doctors right now though, super frustrating.
Can't believe I didn't think about that, thanks!
I tried a bunch of different ones too. Lexarpo for one was horrible. Ick.

fake it till you make it. you can probably think of many times you didnt feel like sex but few if any times after sex that you were bummed that you just did that....
and ditto that hormones change a lot over time.
and im not trying to read into it, but you mentionend "monetary reasons" i just read a post about a woman whos sex life got better after she paid of debt, didnt realize how much stress was messing with her sex drive.
