> Can someone please give me advice or pointers on how to improve my libido. I used to have a very active libido, and loved it. Now that I have been on Effexor XR, my drive has completely dissappeared and my husband is becoming confused and hurt over this. He thinks I am no longer interested in him, and thinks it's his fault.
> Any suggestions out there for me would be greatly appreciated by both my husband and myself.
During the years on Parnate and other medicines, my libido was fairly low and orgasms rather ordinary. I took 45mg Remeron and 10mg Lexpro for about 6 months and thought I had found the sexual fountain of youth. Unfortunately, Remeron at that dose seemed to magnify my vices, which in turn, increased my blood sugar and cholesterol. Since I'm a diabetic and have also had a heart attack, this was not a good thing. I also gained about 15 lbs, so I went back on Parnate.Unfortunately, after about 3 weeks, I have decided to go back on Remeron because I miss the sexual desire so much. I will probably die a few years earlier because of it, but it will be worth it.
