Bi Polar And No Sex Drive Posted: 06-29-06 16:00pm


My husband was diagnosed 3 years ago with bi polar and we have been treating it with medication. Recently he had a relapse and has even had episodes of pychoticness. He is on 1mg of risperdal at bedtime and 300mg of lithium 3 times a day. Recently he has had no sex drive or desire. Is it the medication or me?

Bi-polar & No Sex Drive Posted: 07-22-06 12:03pm


Do not take his lack of sex drive personally. It is the medication. This is something I have been dealing with half my life. I am a 36 yr. Old female who was diagnosed as a teenager. The lack of sex drive is always been a problem for me. I had a doctor once explain to me that basically the medications calm all emotions including sexual feelings. This actually was such a problem in my first marriage that we divorced. Lucky for me I was able to find a wonderful man who is very understanding and accepts me for who I am. Living with someone who is bi-polar takes a lot of patience and understanding. Just remember don't take any of the drastic mood changes personally.
