Cymbalta is a new anti-depressant/anti-anxiety drug. It is excellent and here is the best thing...it does not decrease the sex drive. Paxil (I was on it for years) will eliminate the desire for sex completely and will make it very hard to orgasm. Physicians who have not had personal experience with anti-depressants do not explain to patients how severe the change in sex will be on Paxil, Lexapro, Prozak etc. Cymbalta has none of those side effects. My husband is a psychologist so when he first learned about Cymbalta he told me. My physcian immediately switched me from Paxil to Cymbalta. Thank goodness!
Another thing. My husband is 60 and had decreased sex drive. We just got married 3 years ago. He figured that it was just something that he would have to accept as part of aging.Since I am a nurse, I suggested that he have his testosterone level checked. Bingo! It was low. He now uses testosterone cream once a day. The difference has been remarkable. Even he cannot believe how much different he feels and not just sexually. He also has more energy and interest in his hobbies again. Hope this helps some sex lives!
