I have to use a chemical to feel sex drive

Medications

I cannot feel sex drive at all when sober, I cannot conceptualize the feeling in my brain. I have to use a chemical to feel it. If I wanna have sex I have to use chemical and I’m only 26. I hate being mentally I’ll.

Is this an rx?

Having no sex drive is a common side effect of antidepressants. Wellbutrin usually doesn’t have this side effect, if I remember correctly.

4

I’m not on any anti depressants or meds at all. I can’t conceptualize certain feelings in my brain due to my illness.

5

No, not an RX. S

6

Have you considered getting on meds? And what is your diagnosis?

7

No diagnosis. The doctors can’t explain my anhedonia.it happened after my positive symptoms went away by themselves and my depression lifted. It’s surreal.

8

I tried Wellbutrin and cabergoline to no success

9

Is your anhedonia affecting daily living and relationships?

It’s not good, but like I said it’s the only way I can feel certain emotions. Not my choice, just the cards I was dealt.

Instead of doing drugs, go see a doctor and consider getting placed on medication.

Street drugs will make you feel worse in the long run.

I have been placed on meds. Like I said the docs don’t have an answer. That’s their words. I’ve tried testosterone injections and cabergoline from docs, it doesn’t do anything. And also tried anti depressants.
