Hello everyone,
I am new on here and have a question that my wife has asked me to post (she doesnt like the Internet much!).
She has been on 100mg Sertraline since just after the birth of our second child (over 7 years ago). She was originally put on seroxat after the birth of our first child 11 years ago as she was diagnosed with post natal depression although having been with her for over 17 years we would both agree that she has probably always suffered to a greater or lesser degree.
In general life is good and we dont get the black times which is great as the kids have never had to see her in these times. The major downside for both of us is that her sex drive is non existant and whilst she accepts this she would like it to be better if at all possible. That said neither of us want her to have to go through the black times again as this would not be good for her or for the kids to have to see this.
She has tried all sorts of herbal "enhancers" with no luck and to be honest we have even see specialists (consultants) to try and help but always to no avail.
She is now considering trying to reduce the dose (with GP help) or even trying to come off them but we really would both like to hear any feedback and possible ways to do this. We have read the forum but it appears that most people have only been on the tablets for a much shorter periods and we were wondering what people who have been on them for many years as she has have done to reduce / come off them.
Alternatively if anyone has some ideas how to improve the sex drive whilst staying on the Sertraline we would also love to hear from.
Thanks in advance to everyone.
