We've all heard the warnings: “This drug may have sexual side effects.” Luckily for most of us, it's just the fine print that legal departments toss in so advertisers don't get sued.
That said, for a growing number of folks, the repercussions of that fine print can get blown up big enough to fill a billboard. Many current medications—whether prescribed for physical ailments or emotional conditions—can put the kibosh on the libido.
In a previous post, Nina looked at the side effects bi-polar meds had on the male sex drive. Today, she tackles the questions of a bi-polar woman whose meds have put her in a perpetual state of “neutral,” and is seeking advice about how to get back on the road to lust.

Hi! Nina this is a comment in regards to the discussion about over cumming the side effects of meds, I to have had this problem when I was on anti-depression meds and I can tell you first hand the sexual side effects can be rough. I gained a lot of weight and I did not want to have sex even though the meds helped me and made me feel better I stopped taking them on my own, and I do not suggest doing that but I did. Now I deal with my depression with herbal vitamins, rest and exercise when there's time in my busy schedule. Now I still don't want to have sex with my husband like we did when we got married because of how much weight I have gained. I have lost some of the weight my friends and husband tell me often that I am not that big and I may not be, but I continue to work at it an best of all I am starting to see some improvements it is a journey that I am working though day by day.
