I was incredibly hypersexed when I was manic. Now , I seem to have lost the drive altogether.
My doc thinks it's underlying/untreated depression. I'm not sure. Now that I am starting fell better (thanks, Lamictal!) I am starting to show more interest in sex but it is fleeting and not *that* strong.
I am currently on Effexor and it gives me anorgasmia so even the rare times when I feel like engaging in sexual activity I get frustrated at not being able to get the release.
It's one of the many things I miss about my manias...
Now over to ramsea, can you tell a me a little bit more about reformed alcoholism and loss of drive? I've never heard of that before. I'm just wondring if it might be part of my problem as I self-medicated with alcohol for MANY years... I have recentlt stopped (drinking completely.) Also, I always had problems with sexual function after drinking as well. Any info you have would be great!
