Anyone notice that it practically disappears? I certainly have. I know that it's probably because of the meds but it would be nice to have it back.

I've basically flat-lined, but I never thought about it being related to anything but stress. To anyone who is having this same problem: What meds are you taking?

add to that vasotec and norvasoc and plavix for blood pressure
add in oxycodene for muscle pain and nortriplyine for nerve pain for the MS
throw in pantoloc and estrogen...and of course naproxen for arthrutis.....
sigh...cripes after writing it all down i feel alot older than 40...
i think maybe i have not flat-lined but maybe just to tired after after all the bloody meds that say...."may cause drowsness" or just from opening all the damn bottles....grin...
But there is that two weeks a month after that B-12 shot....grin....that im game...lol lol

I've been married 9 years with 4 kids. If I never had sex again, fine. I haven't had a sex drive since I started my meds. But my husband needs it, and I do it when he wants to. I would LOVE to have my sex drive back, but as long as I'm on meds, I don't think there's much hope. I like to cuddle, and he's there for me with that. I guess we just have to look other places for satisfaction!
