A member asked:

I'm 24 and a lot of my bipolar meds take my sex drive away. what can i do to get it back?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Decreased libido: Review your meds with prescribing doctor and ask what to do. If lack of sex drive is affecting a relationship, keep communication open. Tell your partner what's going on. Meantime enjoy touching and being physically close. Remember this is not your fault. Not uncommon with some meds unfortunately. I hope this helps. Best wishes.
