I am on Lexapro and a small does, however one of the side effects is bad.

My sex drive has diminished and my husband is getting irritated and thinks it is him.

I have to be on something for anxiety/depression, but fear the has gone on wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy to long. I have no interest I am a female, and it is not him just not interested like I once was.

What should I do......? Go off antidepressants? Or is their one that does not have this horrible side effect. I have been married almost 20 year, and know it is the antidepressant.

God please help.
 
I have not heard of any antidepressant that doesn't cause a lack of sexual desire...sort of just nurab in that area. And unfortunately that isn't your husbanRAB problem...all he knows is he wants sex. Is there any reason you can't become the best actress ever...isn't he worth you to just pretend you are enjoying yourself with him and who knows it may actually help you. It sounRAB like sex is very important to your husband. I know he is concerned about your mental state but can you really expect him to give up sexual pleasure after 20yrs because you aren't into it? I know exactly what you are talking about and I have had many of those "i just don't feel like it" conversations with my husband but then I realized that this just wasn't fair after all these years together so I decided to never complain again about it to him and just kept him happy...I preferred his happiness to his disappointment. But that was what i did about it...I wanted to see him happy and I should get an academy award. good luck to you.
 
is your husband aware of all the stress you're under with your mother?
I think instead of you becoming a better actress, he neeRAB to be a little more understanding.....
 
Coming from a guy. Married and very much in love still. I think you let him know about the medication side effects. Speaking for myself and maybe most men that are married, I make love to my wife to make her wife happy and feel great. I'm not sure if I do all the time but in my head I would like that. That is the most important thing to me. The other is to feel closer and prove the love I have for her.

I think you need to make time and a mood.

I really wish you the best.
 
Thank you, I love my husband dearly and he is my best friend. I did tell him about the side effects and now changing meRAB, and going to make more time for him.

Life is too short and we need to make the best of it........

Thank you for your worRAB of encouragement.;)
