How to decrease libido?

5 doctors weighed in across 3 answers

See a psychiatrist: You first need to see a psychiatrist to rule out causes increased libido. The primary cause of course is bipolar disorder. If you have bipolar disorder that should first be treated. If on the other hand you are just a person with a high libido and it is causing difficulty, then treatment with Paxil (paroxetine) is often used to lower libido . Your psychiatrist could advise you regarding other options as well. Best wishes.

Sexuality: Interesting question. I think, if you gave a good relationship with your family doctor this is a good place to start. I would have fifty questions for you in my office. The biggest and most important would be why? Sexuality is a gift and part of the human condition. Learning to use it responsibly and in healthy ways is part of growing up. Many females have the opposite problem.

Need evaluation: It sounds like you feel your libido to be "too high" -- but i wonder, in contrast to what? Is a depressed partner in your life telling you this? Could your level of sexual interest actually be normal, in comparison? Or is your libido genuinely driving you into compromising situations? Each possibility requires a different approach -- including ruling out any possible manic or hypomanic symptoms.
