Who else has lost their sex drive from birth control? what to do?

[MelC]

I always had a VERY active if not over active sex drive then 4 years ago I got on Yasmin and it completely changed me I became depressed, moody, angry, felt sick all the time, severe cramping and lost sex drive I got off it after about 6 months and everything has gone back to normal EXCEPT my sex drive it's been like 3 1/2 years now and I've tried everything and none of it's helped any suggestions? Would a doctor have something I could maybe get perscribed? Anything over the counter?

Im pretty sure you would just have to play around with your sexuality.i wouldnt think that there are any drugs that can help. your probably thinking too much about it. try some toys or more foreplay. you need to have an open mind and a creative imagination!

I had the same thing happen from taking Yasmin. I found that increasing the amount of exercise I got helped me to recover a little bit. Its about getting your body back to hormonal balance. Some of us are just a lot more sensitive to birth control than others. I have found I can't take most of the birth control pills for this reason. Drink a lot of water, clear any toxins out of you system, so your body doesn't have to work as hard. Then make an effort to find the sensual in life, take your sexuality back. Revel in things that make you feel aroused. Stuff like that. After your body is strait, and your head is right, I think your libido will return. At least that is what worked for me. Good luck.
