Depression and sex

Mariah

I'll try to make this as short as possible.

My boyfriend and I both are on antidepressants. I'm on paroxetine and I'm not sure what exactly he's on.

Some background to our relationship. I've always had a higher sex drive then he has. I contribute this to my depression and anxiety as a coping mechanism because sex makes you feel good and was the only thing at the time that helped. Before being put on meds, my sex drive was through the roof and now it's mellowed out some. It's still there but a lot more controllable. We've both gone through struggles of being on meds consistently and that's caused some ups and downs. He's been consistently on his meds for about 6 months and his sex drive has nose dived. It's awful sometimes I can't get anything out of him for up to 3 weeks at a time and that isn't satisfying for me. He has no interest in sex and to him it isn't an issue. I don't think he sees the way things have changed. Idk he gets annoyed with me wanting to talk about sex because he's that "not into it"

Have any of you ladies experienced this with your man? Advice on how to deal with it without messing up his medicine?
