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.

Wow, I had no idea that the meds could do that. I figured it was my depression meds! So I guess I have a DOUBLE WHAMMY!!! My poor husband....A couple nights ago was the second time this YEAR. I just would be fine if I never had sex again!

LOL I have the same problem I'm on topomax and tegeretol.. My doctor told me to eat as much peanut butter as I can tolerate. He said a spoonful here and there. He said it enhances the sex drive. I haven't tried it only cause I dont like peanut butter lol
