Hello
I have been on fluloxetine for 4 months now and have found it has really affected my sex drive badly. I can only organise now and then and i have lost interst in sex, which I enjloy. I have just started to date someone and I want to enjoy a good sex life with him if we get that far!
Also, I am very tired and have little energy during the day. I was like this before I was taking it too when I first became depressed. But I am better with my moods and not crying etc now. So in some ways it has helped and I would like to carry on with some form of meds for now. I have also had problems getting off to sleep too since being on it. Although I was too before when I got depressed. I am still worrying about stuff although not as much but I still feel down quite a lot. So I am not really sure how much this drug has helped me.
My questions are do all SSRI's have these side affects? And do you think some other sort of drug might be better for me? Is this normal or is the drug not working for me? have I been taking it long enough to know if it is working for me? Basically I want something to lift my mood and give me energy!
I have an appointment with a doctor next week to discuss this and I want some information about my problem before I see her. I find that now a days GP's only seem to want to prescribe the SSRI drugs now.
