> Testosterone levels can fluctuate, but that is a very dramatic shift. You're on a lot of meds, so it could be that your low libido is being caused by one or more of them.
Could my meds be the reason why I got such a dramatic shift in testosterone levels, or are there other possible explanations? It is very likely that my low libido is being caused by escitalopram (and maybe trimipramine) but it still doesn't explain low libido when I have been medication free. Could it be the earlier depression that caused it? I am not depressed now, so now it must be the meds that cause it.
Tianeptine and agomelatine are said to have little or no sexual side effects, could those prevent sexual side effects from SSRIs?
