I'm just not interested in sex?

[beginingtobreathe]

I am an eighteen year old female who is currently on 20mg prozac (I have been taking it for the last 8 months) for my depression which I have had for the last six years.

My problem- I am just not interested in anything sexual at all. I am unable to get excited in any way, just kissing my boyfriend seems to take a lot of effort even though I really like him. It just seems that I have no "umph" towards any of it and can't get into the mood. I often tell myself that I am just am not a sexual person, but I want to be, I am just unable to feel what many other girls and guys seem to feel at my age.

Does this have to do with my years of depression/anti-depressants or is it possible that I am just not a sexual person?

If I get off my medication will I ever be able to feel it?

I loved sex and had multiple orgasms until I got on prozac.  I still loved sex, but I found that I didn't have the energy or motivation or drive as much.  It just slowed down.  Thank God I married an older man, so he slowed down.  I feel for you being so young.  But I heard you can supplement it with wellbutrin, which can help.

My doctor recommends that I take mine after I plan on being sexually active so that it does not cause as much problems.

It's a side effect of most anti-depressants while you are taking them.
