Talk about it: When you say "over active", this is very subjective. What you consider over active may be perfectly normal to someone else. Before you seek treatment, i would talk with your doctor or a therpaist in your area who specializes in sexual disorders to see if there really is a problem.

But is it? : The most important issue is whether your sex drive more or less matches your partners.

Hi. I thought one of cymbalta's side effects was a decreased sex drive but why has mine increased? Im not sexually active but its weird.

It's normal: Cymbalta can affect your libido both ways. It's more common to find a low libido, but it can also increase it.
