His and Her Health

I have never had much sex drive and accepted that as my fate. I figured it kept me out of trouble when I was young At the age of 40 I went through a terrible depression and went on Prozac. It was all good. I lost weight, felt good, and was seriously horny for the first time in my life. My ever patient husband was thrilled. After 3 months the benefit of Prozac wore off and after several doseage increases all positive effect was replaced by negative and I went off the medication.

Previous to the prozac, the doctors thought that I had thyroid problems but I tested fine several times. Then they decided I needed estrogen and put me on birth control, which I have never tolerated in any dosage. Sure enough I spiraled down and that took me to the Prozac.

I went to a naturopath who has treated me for adrenal fatigue and I feel wonderful but still have no sex drive or ability to climax. I get to the point where I am almost there and then I either fake it (so not fair to my husband) or in the case of oral sex I have to push him off.

I am now on a combination of adrenal support and prozac. my periods are regulated (previously I had flooding issues) but there has been no change to my sex drive. My sister has had the almost exact same experience without the adrenal situation. My mother only started enjoying sex at menopause. I am peri-menopausal.

So all this to say, what did the Proxac do and how can I get back to that happy place? If anything my health history reflects the symptoms of progesterone deficiency but if birth control took me out emotionally then how do I work with that?

The last part of the puzzle is a late in life ADD self diagnosis discovered after my daughter was diagnosed ADHD.

My husband has been inventive. The one thing that has incereased sensation is if he is rough and I have a psychiological barrier there. Just seems wrong and he feels like he is hurting me. No fun for him.
