Hi,
I am new here and I have a question about the effects of taking clomipramine for a long period of time, in relation to libido/sex drive.
I started using clomipramine 2 years ago. About a year ago I started seeing someone and we have been together since then.
During the course of our relationship it became clear that (probably) the medication had completely taken away my sex drive.
About a week ago I finally stopped taking the meds. Weaning off them went great, I feel totally fine. The only thing is, I still have no libido.
My question is: does anyone have experience with this issue and does anyone know whether the sexual side effects disappear over time, after stopping with the meds? I'm very happy with my partner and this has been really difficult. I really hope it will pass.
