    I'm the same I didn't think it had anything to do with the tablets until I started seeing people writing it ... I just put it down to being tired ... Has this happened to any one else ? Because Iv been on them since October and im still finding my sex drive is completely non existent

      Probably about a month into taking them but I never put it together as that being the reason but from reading up on it it seams to be a side effect
