Hi Fireball,

Well, I'm male and I've lost that too.

Its actually quite common in both males and females to lose their desire for sex when suffering anxiety and panics.

If you have a partner, its important to get them to understand that its your condition that affects your lovemaking, and not your desire and love for her.

Remember, it's good to talk....

Yeah can sympathise with you, and if you are on anti-depressants some of those can affect your sex drive too.

I can understand how you are feeling, i have have my sex drive but i do admit it is not as good as it used to be, since this all started and going on pills etc it definately is not the same as it used to be.

I started to lose mine b4 my first attack and it certainly hasn't improved since.
I find I just don't think about it even though I have the anxiety under control.

I lost mine for ages when I started getting anxiety. This got worse during the first three weeks on Citalopram. After about 4 weeks though it went the other way and was in a near constant state of randyness.

It's leveled out again now at 8 weeks in...
