Absolutely!!!! Talk to your doctor about switching medications. Depleted sex drive is a VERY common side effect of many anti-depressants.

Try to get more L-argenine into your diet. It's available in steak and eggs, barley and lots of other foods. It's supposed to help women maintain sex drive.
I dated a guy who was on anti-depressants and didn't have much sex drive. We still had sex, but he never reached orgasm. By the time we broke up, I was ready to start taking anti-depressants, it was so frustrating!

while you're on an anti-depressant and have no emotions you're able to allow your physician understand. curiously Zoloft works for you, yet possibly you do no longer want as extreme a dose. assessment all of it mutually with your physician, and seem into counselling besides. I comprehend your mom wanting you to be on effective drugs, even though it extremely is incorrect for her to wish that it will administration your irritability. you're slightly older now and could voice your concerns and emotions. no could experience like an interloper by way of female communicate...which could additionally be by way of your adulthood. all of it passes in time, and is amazingly unattractive in a youthful female besides. superb needs.

it seems so. that fact that you still 'want' to have sex shows that it's not you thats the problem. the meds are obvioiusly stopping your body wanting sex and is therefore not letting you become aroused. try making a lot of time for foreplay and see what happens. good luck x
