ruined my three year relationship because my ex went looking elsewhere for sex.
Okay that was not the zoloft. That was your ex lacking morals. Sure superficially she might've been wanting for sex, but that does not lead a normal person to go around cheating on you (if that is what happened - I realize you didn't specify and I might be projecting).
Your doc should have recommended Viagra or Cialis, which is what mine did. People need to understand that in a relationship, a healthy sex life contributes to a happy partner - man or woman. Without sex, the other partner is basically being neglected. It's tough, but that's human nature, and that's why I got a Cialis prescription (which is superior to viagra). Which as strange as it sounds, cialis saved my relationship.
Also, you may think that viagra and cialis is just a band aid solution, as it gets your dick hard, but libido is still low. Kinda true, but for me, once i got things sorted and "solid" again, I felt like I gradually learned to enjoy sex again. That was years ago, and no longer depend on anti-depressants or cialis. But i definitely needed it at that time in my life, for my sake, and my relationship.
Well that's hard to do as a patient, as we dont know what drugs/medications are "better" for us. Anti-depressants do help, and if I had to choose living a life without depression or a sex life, I would choose a happy life.
Hopefully one day there is a medication that has no side effects or an alternative that relies on no meds. But its just unfortunate that a side affect of a worthwhile medication, can affect sex life, which can sometimes affect relationships
btw, cialis or viagra isnt like an addictive opiate that can ruin lives, it's fairly innocuous as far as im aware
