I know of someone that told me this but I don't know of it to be true or not. Do the medications kill or almost eliminate a person's sex drive to where they don't hardly ever want to have sex?

I had a problem with achieving orgasm on Lexapro (for depression in bi-polar), but that problem went away when I stopped taking the medication.

Currently, I'm on Abilify (for depression) and my sex drive is pretty normal.

But, yes, medications can definitely affect your sex drive.

    I know this is true of anti-anxiety meds, or anti-depressants.

    Ritalin, Dexadrine and Adderall should not effect your sex drive at all.
