In reply to Over-Sexed on Prozac, posted by thorney on March 19, 2003, at 22:11:22
Yes, definately. I was that way on prozac and I was so amazed to hear other people having the opposite effect. Prozac increased my sex drive enormously. I was taking 20mg day and obsessed with sex.
I stopped taking prozac after awhile because of other side effects. Also, after a while, it just stopped working on the depression and made me more anxious.
I think that prozac makes me hypomanic--thus the increased appetite for sex. I am back on it now but I only take a small dose because I'm afraid it'll increase my mania and anxiety.
My dr. says to take depakote-he insists that I start dep- but you just mentioned it makes one inorgasmic ???
Is this true? If so, I don't want it!
I have asked questions about depakote here on this board, regarding sex, and no one has responded by saying that it kills your sex life (like so many other meds do). Are you speaking from personal experience with the dep, or from what you've heard?
I've been contemplating this depakote thing for a while, so I'm very curious about ALL the s/e. I like having a sex drive and don't want to lose it again!
