Prozac is an AD (AntiDepressant). Decreased sexual desire is also a problem of depression and AP (AntiPsychotic) treatment. AP treatment especially decrease sexual desire in men, because of rising Prolactin levels. I’ve had the same experience with ADs, for me the Paroxetine (=Paxil) made me hypomanic in the first stage, and this definitely increased my sexual drive then. While Zyprexa totally annihalated it.

Sometimes I become so sexually obsessed . Like when i’m with a woman , I have to make love to her a certain way..Tease her, and feel her up really slowly… And my hormones are like flooded…….

Considering this is a brain disorder with a chemical imbalance…any combination of symptoms can occur.  Hypomania doesn’t have to have all the symptoms or meet any criteria…it is just the way the brain mix is at the time.  I suspect you are in hypomania without the other symptoms.  I was hypomanic for months with a sex drive that was constant…but not all the other symptoms were.  I went manic quite a few times also. —   O  ooo   Cindy          O – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – >Just wondering a few things regarding sexual desire/drive…however you care >to label it.

….Well I have a problem in this area too.  There are periods of time where it seems I can never get enough.  This has caused great friction and fighting with my wife.  Since I started taking my meds it seems as though my drive may be "normal" for the time being.  I’m interested to see if my drive continues to drop or at least levels off to a point where I can function like a "normal human". Everyone is scared to answer this? he he :)

  I don’t really know. I’ve always had a pretty high sex drive (at least since puberty <g>), unless I was severly depressed – then ain’t nothing happening :( But (God am I actually going to write this?), a lot of times though as I begin to climb into hypomania (I usually rise through hypomania into mania instead of boom being there) I begin to crave what I consider to be my only fetish. It has become one of my tests for (hypo)mania. I don’t always "get the urge" when I’m (hypo)manic, but I almost never get it when I’m not. Don’t really know if this helps or if it’s even the same thing, but FWIW… Tigger bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy, fun, fun, fun, fun, FUN!!!

Hi khryctee,     You stated in your post~~~but my sex drive is insatiable. Is this normal?~~~     I believe it is a normal part of mania, but not a normsl part of life.  It feels real good while it is happening but like all manic symptoms it passes or spirals us into despair.     The thrilll of it all, the ego boosting the release, I loved it.  It is the one thing about mania that I would keep.  Too bad its an all inclusive package    Take care I hope I helped but I doubt it “`Treacha ..always, Treacha ..as the twig bends…so the tree grows…
