Adipex and sex, has anyone experienced increased sexual drive on this?

IT could be a couple of things.\n\n1. You could be feeling more sexy because of the fact that Adipex is typically prescribed for weight loss.\n\n2. One of the known side effects is a change in sex drive - for men, at least, it seems to typically decrease their drive.\n\nFrom drugs.com\nWhat are the possible side effects of Adipex?\n• If you experience any of the following serious side effects, stop taking Adipex and seek emergency medical attention:\n     · an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of your throat; swelling of your lips, tongue, or face; or hives);\n     · an irregular heartbeat or very high blood pressure (severe headache, blurred vision); or\n     · hallucinations, abnormal behavior, or confusion.\n• Other, less serious side effects may be more likely to occur. Continue to take Adipex and talk to your doctor if you experience\n     · restlessness or tremor,\n     · nervousness or anxiety,\n     · headache or dizziness,\n     · insomnia,\n     · dry mouth or an unpleasant taste in your mouth,\n     · diarrhea or constipation, or\n     · impotence or changes in your sex drive.\n• Adipex is habit forming. You can become physically and psychologically dependent on this medication, and withdrawal effects may occur if you stop taking it suddenly after several weeks of continuous use. Talk to your doctor about stopping this medication gradually.\n• Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome.

This is a good question.  My husband would love to know the same thing.  Currently my sex drive is low because of menapause.  I'm going through it very early.  Usually a bottle of wine and somd actual romance will help.  You do know what I mean when I say romance.  Dinner without the kids, rose pettels on the bed,going out on a date with eachother, slow dancing in the livingroom.  These little things open opportunity for flirting.  Thus increasing the want for sex.  b4 menopause I worked sooo much.  My joib made us do a mandatory 15 hrs overtime per week and it took me 2 hours each way to get there.  Then once home still had to check homework cook dinner make sure the house was in order.  I was constantly going and you have the nerve to want what?  Switch roles for a day. see how you feel..  or. start helping around the house if that is the ccase.  but remember  flirting.

yes.....First, take a look at potential libido-killers in your life. These can take a bite out of your sex drive. Anti-depressants, alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs can do the same. \n\nNext, take a closer look at the emotional stuff. Is it possible that a relationship problem is expressing itself this way? Maybe you're not aware of some issue that's affecting you nonetheless. \n\nLastly, people do have different sex drives, and it's possible that yours isn't a strong one (beyond the initial excitement of being with a new partner). But it sounds like you want to be having sex, so maybe repetition is lulling your libido to sleep. Try exploring new sexual adventures: read sexy books, watch sexy movies, and see if you get inspired!

try eating fruits for a few days and see what happens. Eating canaloupe is good for the sex drive. SO find out what fruit she likes the best and have fun. Oh avacado has something to do with sex drive too. Good luck

This is not normal.  A sudden change in sex drive can be due to illness.  It is quite probably a coincidence that it happened three months into your relationship.  See your family doctor immediately.

Birth control affects everyone differently, so it could be the Depo Provera that affected your sex drive.  My gynecologist recently recommended two things for my low libido - an herbal remedy called "Optimum Libido" from myphysicianschoice.com and testosterone cream.  He gave me a prescription for the cream, which had to be filled at a compounding pharmacy.  I have heard good things about the cream, but don't know anything about the herbal pills.  But my gynecologist keeps up with new innovations in the field, so I trust his opinion.  Try making an appointment with your gyno.

Studies begun at Johns Hopkins in 1966 have shown that sex offenders or paraphiliacs, for example, pedophiliacs treated with the antiandrogenic hormone, Depo-Provera, plus counseling have gained in self-regulation of sexual behavior. Depo-Provera suppresses or lessens the frequency of erection and ejaculation and also lessens the feeling of libido and the mental imagery of sexual arousal. For the pedophiliac, for example, there will be decreased erotic "turn-on" to children. Metaphorically, the sex offender has "a vacation" from his sex drive, during which time conjunctive counseling therapy can be effective.

There's a testosterone patch (Intrinsa) that's under evaluation for women to boost the sex drive. I don't know when it's supposed to come out or what the status of it is right now. Check with your GYN. He/she should know.\n\nI got divorced after 17 years. That worked for me lol (actually that's not even a joke)

Hello,\n\n  I have taken many anti-dep and have taken along time to find one that fits all my needs. I had a really hard time sexually when on prozac and zoloft, etc. I let my new doc know the problem was affecting my life and he suggested Wellbutrin. So I take a smaller dose of lexapro for the depression because you can only take so much wellbutrin. Then I take a dosage of Wellbutrin to help take the sexual side affects away, which also helps with depression. That changed my life taking both drugs together!!! Been taken them for over 4 yrs. now and I thank my doc all the time! My sex drive is actually usually in over drive now :)

Most anti-depressants actually decrease your sex drive, so I'm surprised you would take one to increase it.  But then well-butrin is different than other anti-depressants so I guess it's possible it can have the opposite affect.  You should start feeling a difference after 2 or 3 weeks, although it could be up to 6 weeks.  Good Luck.

could be true as I was always thin and had plenty of regular sex over my 25 years of marriage. I have put on weight after menopause and don't have sex as often as before.

I have taken celexa for years, i love it! I had no depression but severe panic disorder!  I do great with it.  as for side effects i really do not know because i have gained weight ut could be do to having kids and i am not real intrested in sex but could be because i am tired from kids all day.  it is well worth trying it though!

Any exercise will give you more energy, thus increasing sex drive. A healthy balanced diet will do the same thing. Spicy food gets your blood pumping, try roleplay, foreplay etc. If it's endurance you're after, then ask your ladyfriend not to touch you intimately until just before penetration. Also try focusing on giving her pleasure, and not yourself. Good luck!

You've noted that some of your medications are known to decrease libido and cause erectile dysfunction.  I suppose the next step is for the two of you to schedule appointments with your respective doctors about the types of medications you're on.  Do you still need to take these prescriptions?  \n\nCould some of your medications be having adverse reactions with other medications, possibly compounding your problem? \n\nIs there an alternate prescription you could switch to that wouldn't have such negative effects on your love life?\n\nYou may also need to get your pharmicist involved in some of these questions, as they may be better versed in drug interaction than your doctor.  \n\nBarring the possibility of reducing the amount of prescriptions or changing to alternatives, you may have to look into diet and natural remedies that would hieghten your libido.  Again, checking with your doctor and/or pharmacist to ensure there is no negative interaction with your current prescriptions.
