libido

I suspect that was the reason I was put on Paxil. She (my then therapist) thought it might reduce my libido. It didn't.
The two times I was put on Paxil, I didn't really notice anything different about my sex drive. But after the death of my parents sex was pretty low on my priority list. I mean I was having sex, but it was more for the comfort than anything else.
Zolft didn't change my libido, I think. My arm really hurt, and that caused certain... changes in my sexual interests. (I became more interested in pain as a part of sex) But I was still pretty horny all the time.

Welbutrin was a nightmare.
It increased my libido, but in a really strange way. It made me self destructive, and I pursued random sexual encounters constantly. I was drawn into the most damaging BDSM relationship imaginable, and was so lucky to escape without permanent damage or disease.
