Prozac and Loss of libido

Posted by David on September 11, 1998, at 14:05:59

Is anyone familiar with ways to counteract the loss of sexual interest and arousal in women? Preferably something not to difficult to implement or to expensive

You're not going to have a problem getting lots of responses to that problem. Loss of libido and other sexual problems while taking Prozac is so common. There are a lot of articles about - Dr. Bob has one about SSSRIs I think on one of his sites -

My dr. added a small (100 mgs) dose of Wellbutrin to the dose of Prozac. It worked okay not great.

Ask your dr. it's very common and I'm sure he has encountered it before and is prepared to help. Good luck.

My doctor has asked me if I would like to be part of an experiment of women using Viagra to counteract the sexual side effects of SSSRIs (I was also on Prozac). I agreed but then had to switch ADs because Prozac became an ineffective AD for me after 8 years. I wonder if any research has been done on this yet (Viagra for women/SSRIs)? I was looking forward to asking for 'subjects' to help me with the experiment :-) (I do not currently have an SO.) Good luck! Also, please post any information you receive (anecdotal or otherwise) as I would be most interested in this 'cure'. Thanks!
