anti anxiety meds and low libido....HELP

[ukc2005]

Dear Readers,
I have recently been prescribed an anti- anxiety drug and it has significantly truly helped with my anxiety I haven't had a anxiety attack in weeks which is great but there has been 1 MAJOR effect on my sex drive. I almost have 0 sex drive and when that blue moon comes and I am actually in the mood to be with my significant other it takes me a while to get well wet and once I do it take longer for me to reach orgasm. Please is there anyone out there experiencing the same effect on prescription drugs??? I have tried lubricants but to be honest it doesn't really help yes it works but not the way I think it should feel,,, ANY ADVISE??

I'm on prescribed anti-anxiety medication: Escitalopram, Diazepam and Pregabalin. Which medication(s) are you on?

SSRI's and sexual dysfunction is a big issue

Many people on SSRI's also take Wellbutrin to combat the unwanted sexual side effects. You should ask your doctor about adding it in.
