Then as I got on SSRI's/Effexor/ and also with Nardil I have found my sex drive is normal to subpar depending on what I take with it. But I used to be an absolute fiend for it! It was like crack! Everytime I go off my AD (which these days for me is always highly serotonergic) I begin to feel that way again. It doesn't really sound like hypomania does it?

With effexor (other ssri's make me worse) no anger/irritation.
I've managed to abstain from sex..other methods are available : ) but it can be pleasantly frustrating also like Dinah...no satisfaction almost a 24 hour thing ......obsession.
What is normal libido I don't know , so unsure if it's hypomania..you have to have other symptoms
of hypomania.....personally I'm even not sure what hypomania is anymore.
