> In any case, I'm on 20mgs. of Lexapro, 30mgs. of Buspar & 25mg of Seroquel. Once I increased to 20 mgs. of Lexapro my sex life was gonzo. But.... I've got it back due to adding an herbal tincture called Damiana. Two dropperfuls in a bit of water 2-3 times a day. What a godsend! Forget the pdocs; they really don't know it all. Study up on your herbs, folks. My next addition will be Lavendar as an ally for mid-life anxiety, etc. Thank god for meds but they are so sedating and have so many bad side effects.

Hey Mimi!I am so with you! My libido went into the can when I took a combo of meds that I'm not on anymore, but I added Damiana and WOW! I thought of sex non-stop, and felt like I HAD to have it!!! I even had to quit taking it to get back to a more normal state. LOL Now I just take it periodically.
Thanks for the heads up on lavendar. I take Valerian, but don't feel that it really does the trick for the anxiety. So, is the lavendar a tincture or pill? I was going to ask the doc to add something for anxiety, but will try the lavenedar first, thanks. I also take Maca every day because I have menstrual like cramps EVERY day! Bleh! Guess I should go to the gyn.
