Zoloft and sex drive

[scottishsweetie]

OK- I am sure this has been posted a million times but does ANYONE have ANY idea on how to get your sex drive back from nil while on 100mg of Zoloft a day?? I am currently not sexually active, but still... what has worked for some of you?
I know there are certain anti-depress. out there that do not have this side effect and I have tried them (most still do have this side effect though) - but Zoloft is best for me.
Suggestions??

Thank you!

hey there! I was on zoloft as well and did really well on it... As far as sex drive goes.... practice practice practice.... I know it sounds far fetched but practice does make perfect. Sex drive is one of those things that if you dont use it you lose it especially if you are on an antidepressant. SO my suggestion is get romantic with your self. there are also over the counter supplements that make claims to boost sex drive. Good luck!

I am on 300mg of Zoloft but still am interested in sex and have it almost daily. (especially while TTC) Give yourself a chance to get warmed up... massage, cuddle, etc.

LOL, personal, huh. I don't have any advice for you. I know that depression medications can DEcrease your sex drive and ability to climax. I think there are things you can do to increase your sex drive-ie, relaxing, taking a hotbath, a massage, etc. But I have to wonder....if you're not sexually active, why would you want the sex drive back, hehehe?

Hehehe that's a good one. Of course, my hubby always says I don't have any hormones at all
