Voting Question: Relationship becoming mundane due to effects of anti-depressants?

My boyfriend and I have been dating for a year and a half now and everything has been great. Our personalities and interests are nearly identical and we are both really sexual. However, recently, my boyfriend started taking the anti-depressant Lexapro to help with his anxiety. Although I am incredibly happy for him because he is now motivated to do many things and he is productive and much more relaxed, I am worried that it is also effecting him in a negative manner. I am not an advocate of anti-depressants, as I had used them previously and I know exactly what mood changes they had instilled in me at the time of use. My boyfriend seems to have become somewhat emotion-less and his libido has vanished. I know that decreased sexual desire is a side effect of Lexapro. I love my boyfriend very much, but lately, with his lack of any kind of affection or seemingly, loss of a soul, I find myself feeling quite detached from him. I almost feel angry towards him at times. I feel like our relationship is not exciting anymore, and it used to be up until he began taking his medication. We never really argue, and I do not want to hurt my boyfriend’s feelings by directly saying, “Hey I really don’t like you when you’re on those pills.” So my question is, how do I go about speaking with him about how I feel? I want my boyfriend to have the help he needs, but at the same time, I do not want to feel detached from him because of his sudden lack of personality due to the numbing effects of his anti-depressants. How should I address this issue to him, without hurting his feelings? I should include that we are also young; 22.

Answers :

he might not like his meds either, maybe he should try st johns wort instead, that might not have those side effects

He could try viagra but I will tell ya what, that stuff sucks. The side effects are terrible. Has he ever tried a sexual enhancer? I was in his situation, like I said, viagra was tried but it wasn't for me considering the side effects overwhelm the pleasures of it. I found this natural herbal enhancer and figured what the heck, if it's natural it must be great and plus it said no side effects. I tried it and after about two days of taking it I was just horny like a mad man. All the time, I have erections that want to stand straight up and the orgasms are to die for. The stuff was called vigrx plus and I saved on it at the time at hughs-reviews.com You should tell him to check it out. I love the fact it's made from a researched blend of herbs that seem to do the trick for me atleast. Good luck and I hope this helps.

He needs to ask his doctor if there is something he can take that will have less of an effect on his libido than Lexapro, or see if he can titrate the dosage to get the treatment effects without the harmful side effect. And for cryin' out loud, you can find a way to say it without being hurtful. It's not about YOU! So don't act like it. You know it's the meds. Take action with him and the doctor. Don't say, "“Hey I really don’t like you when you’re on those pills.” because that would be nasty and insensitive. Do say something like, "Hey, you've really changed since you've been on the Lexapro. You have had XYZ good effects - and those are great. But I don't know if you've noticed, your libido has gone away completely. This has been having an effect on me - so you need to talk with doctor X when you go. "
