All medications: That raise serotonin can lower libido. There are some ways to treat this side effect. Talk with your doctor about this. He can help.

Libido and Prozac (fluoxetine): Interesting question. It can lower libido, but only if you allow it to. You can "think" your way into feeling amorous and sexual, and overcoming the "i'm not in the mood - not even thinking about it" type thinking will go away if you work on feeling that way.
