I want to be able to have a normal libido for my boyfriend but this medication is preventing me from doing so.
23-year-old woman
Hello, I have been taking venlafaxine 75 mg for about 1 year and this medication has a huge impact on my libido. I almost died from it so I was wondering if there is a drug in the same family that does not have this side effect.

Unfortunately, most antidepressants can cause this problem. Celexa would not be as bad, but it is still possible.
It is sometimes possible to add a complementary medication that can help.
Zestra gel can also increase clitoral sensation.

Okay, what product could I add to help get my libido back? Since I feel pleasure in a relationship but hardly ever feel like doing it. However, before I took my antidepressants I had a very good libido.
thank you very much for your answer

it is possible to try wellbutrin or abilify. it is necessary to evaluate the reason for taking venlafaxine to target the best treatment so as not to aggravate the anxiety if that is what is being treated.

I am taking venlaflaxine to help with my depression, are both products available in pharmacies?

Because the two you are talking about would be replacements for my venlaflaxine however I would just like to have something to add to help bring back a libido even though I am on my antidepressant.

These are medications that require a prescription. It is compatible with your treatment and can even give you energy. You can talk to your pharmacy and they will be able to make the suggestion to your doctor. You keep the venlafaxine and add a small dose of the other one.
