Oysters?

:-/ I haven’t had that problem with any medication. Which medication is it that is causing it? An antidepressant?

I take a couple. Could be tegretol ( for seizures) or antidepressants.

My doc once gave me a small dose of Welbutrin to take when I wanted that lovin’ feelin’. He said it was almost like a female Viagra. I found it to be too much trouble though. I’ve just adjusted, and tried to be open to the opportunity even when I didn’t really feel like it. Most times, once I got started it came back…like riding a bicycle.

Same with me. Thankfully.

Yeah Wellbutrin gave me an awful stutter, it was really strange. I can empathize though, a medically decreased libido is no fun, and I do agree with Augustlan – once you’re back on the horse (heh), it’s easier to keep going. I recommend watching a bit of porn every day to get a saddle up.
