Are there
any medications that can be used to treat low sex drive caused by
antidepressants?
In most
cases, the treatment of low sex drive is non-medical. This may include seeing a
therapist for sex education and improving self-confidence. If you are already
on an anti-depressant medication, your doctor may alter the dosage or change
the medication. Unfortunately, every single anti-depressant available today is
known to affect libido. The one antidepressant that only mildly affects libido
is wellbutrin. Unfortunately, after a few months use, this medication is also
known to lower libido. Some doctors do prescribe Viagra as an off label use in
women with a low sex drive. You have to discuss this with your doctor. In many
cases, a change in partner behavior or a new mate may do the trick.
