RobsBaby Posts: 91 Member	I must say that my hubby is almost relieved that my mood stabilizer (Abilify) has also stabilized my sex drive, which has been in hyper mode for over 3 years due to my BPII. It had gradually increased as my cycling worsened (while I was undiagnosed), and I was after him 3 times a day! Now I am much more "normal", really don't have much "drive" per se, but my response is very normal. I don't take an antidepressant, as they push me into hypomania. Isn't this disorder a trip?!

I'm an Advocate

Abilify is an add on anti depressant/antipsychotic but some people are given it as an anti depressant alone.

I suffer from Rapid Progressive MS, Lupus, Fibromyalgia, Epilepsy, Migraines, Neuropathy, IBS, Narcolepsy, Arrythmia, Arthritis and too much more complete list on profile.

"Just because we have the right to disagree with a person, does NOT give us the right to disrespect that person."

I'm not currently active due to many personal and medical issues. I will not be participating in MDJ for awhile, my thoughts and prayers are with everyone. I hope everyone is well and I appreciate all of the thoughts, kind words and messages. I have tried to respond as much as possible and apologize if I have not gotten back to everyone. Love & Hugs, Stacey

duallydiag	I was at my p.doc the other day and asked her about the lower libido as a result of Celexa. She said that people actually like to take it for that reason, to temper their libido. I told her I didn't know how many months it has been that I haven't had sex. She seemed to imply that maybe that wasn't enough for a marriage of over 10 years. I can agree with that. I can make light of it, but it is sad to me really. Sometimes I feel envious of others who have a "normal" sex life. I really feel like I am missing something gratifying in my life. I feel like I have kind of given up on much of an improvement. It seems to be easier to take the sex "drought" that way. Post edited by: duallydiag, at: 03/24/2010 10:53 PM

My sex drive has been very low for the better half of 6 months. At first it was a welcome change not to be so consumed by sex. Now it's turning into a problem. I talked to Pdoc about it and was told an increase in my anti-depressant should kick start me out of my soft depression and thus, returning my sex drive. we'll see
