I have just stopped being in the mood the last few months and it's really putting a damper on my marriage. I am not sure if my antidepressants could be causing problems or not. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

Yes a lot of medications can cause your libido to fail. Antidepressants, birth control, pain pills, some over the counter medications as well. Your state of mind can too, is there anything that is stressing you out, or a reason you are mad at your hubby? If so, talk it out. You will feel so much better, and be more willing to play around a little.
You can try doing things naturally, (you and him) by taking things slow, maybe doing a few sensual massages...take showers together, more foreplay...just don't rush into anything with dear hubby, remember you aren't in any hurry. Sometimes you just have to "pretend" you are, as dumb as it may sound; think of how good it feels when you actually ARE doing something...and it will usually help you get in the mood. If you know any "Hot spots, or something that just really gets you in the mood, surprise him with it. Keep him on his toes and your damper will disappear.
If you aren't in the mood, have him masturbate in front of you...sometimes that does the trick...or if you are up to it, buy a sex game...then it turns the heat up, and ads a little fun....hope you got some useful info. GOOD LUCK!

Antidepressants are notorious for putting a damper on your love life. Tell your doctor you are having side effects and he may put you on a different drug.

As far as I know, YES anitdepressant can do this... you might want to try some natural enhauncements. Like foods that can get you in "the mood". I think another option might be to try some new getting in the mood tactics...maybe role playing, toys and etc. It could be a number of things...just like anything, you have to work on it...try new things and have fun!

There are a variety of things which could cause this, and antidepressants could be one of them. I suggest you see your physician and get a checkup. It's virtually impossible to diagnose this sort of thing over the Internet.

You could research your medicine to see if lack of sexual desire is one of the side effects. If it is, you could always ask your doctor if there are any other antidepressants on the market that won't hinder your sexual desire. If there aren't any other antidepressants that he could recomment, ask about a medicine that will help enhance your libido.
