Medications

Male 38 years old, fibro sufferer. Question is, I've been prescribed amitriptyline, currently on 40mg. But I've found they have demolished my sex drive, both mentally and physically. They do help with the pains, but I'm not willing to write off my sex life just yet. Is anyone (men obviously) had the same problem, or can anyone recommend a medication that doesn't have this side effect. It's really getting me down. Regards, Mike.

sorry to hear of your problem but my brother - in-law had the same problem with antidepressant medication and it did the same to him how long have you been taken it as with my B-I-L once the medication was in his system it sorted itself out and things returned to normal

I found taking any meds made me feel low and I gained so much weight. I tend to steer clear of meds and try alternative remedies. It all depends from person to person what works.
Try CBT therapy which helps you to deal with the pains in a mindful way. Your still young and giving up sex is not fair.
Hope you find out some help for you soon.
Take care x
