Hi:
>>> Also his sex drive has hit rock bottom. I'm at an all time high LOL.... I'm guessing that's also in connection with Zyprexa.<<<--- This issue/sex drive is VERY tricky thing to discuss to begin with, ... but of course it's VERY important issue as for 'a man and a wife' relationship, can not be ignored totally due to the Bp he's been carrying. It's very true that the Zyprexa causing 'loss of sex drive,' at least 'getting into the 'lesser' interest on this subject.' Not only the Zyprexa also most of psycho. meds. doing this. This is completely its side-effects from taking those 'powerful(most of cases) psycho. meds. In other words, this, med.s' potent effectiveness alleviates mental illnesses, from depression to shizo,. I know you don't want to hear this,... but in regard to 'sex-drive,' this/potency of meds. goes 'opposite direction,' not to get arousal(sp?).
I truly understand your frustration in terms of this problem, S.E.s from the Zyprexa. However, seeing and knowing that your husband has been struggling with this 'unwelcomed-monster,' then try to understand his place, ... not function WELL enough to satisfy his wife(you). In this regard, you may need more depth-knowledge concerning mental illness from which your husband sufferring. For your 'good' understanding's sake, some 'counselling' would be good for both, you and your husband. Most of cases here, in USA, there are a plenty of counselling services available to those who need a good information and helpful advice on this regard.
Good Luck on both of you!
H.G.
