< I am a Christian and I am a mother >
Hello all. I am a 36 year old married mother of three boys. I have my degree in Forensic psychology and business management- human resources, I work in social services while juggling my three children and a marriage. When I originally joined this community I was excited to get back into what I love and that is helping people through listening, understanding, and guidance. However I quickly found that through my desire to help others, others are helping me. I have found my advice column beyond rewarding. I have found myself getting extremely passionate about each and every question that I read and respond to. The more the questions the greater the connection I have found between people of all walks of life, ages groups, races, gender, and religion. What I have found to be our greatest bind is love. Love for others and the love of being loved.

I started a new medication and I am just not feeling it anymore. :( Is there any way to get that drive, that desire back without going off the medicine that is probably keeping me alive?

Unfortunately there are several medications which cause a decrease in sex drive. I myself take a medication that has affected me in the same way and I found medical marijuana in small amounts to help out tremendously. I do not advocate illegal use of any substance but if medically prescribed or legal in your state you may want to look into that. Another thing I found helpful was having sex on a near full bladder. I do not know the science behind this but several people both men and women as well as myself have noticed an increase in arousal when their bladder is full and a noticable decrease after going to the rest room. I'm not sure how often or what time of day you take your medication but you may want to time your dosage in a way in which the least amount of active medication is in your system during the most optimal opportunities you foresee wanting an increased sex drive. Lastly but perhaps the first suggestion you may want to ask your doctor and do research on your own of a possible substitution to your current medication or perhaps ask if there is something you can add to counteract the problem. I wonder if the medication you are taking is blocking normal blood flow to the area which I imagine could be the problem. If so, I would gather it is affecting blood flow to other areas that could cause other issues. You might want to bring it to your doctors attention if for no other reason to be sure it is simply a side affect with no health risks associated. If blood flow is the cause perhaps you could try applying heat or doing stretches to get the blood flowing. Hang in their and I wish you the best.

(Rating: 5) Thank you SO much! I was feeling like I was the only one this ever happened to. I am sorry you had to do this too, but I am glad to know there is hope!
