Can serenace cause a lack of libido?


Hi, I was prescribed serenace by my psychiatrist for extreme fear of exams(and some hormone test he took) around 6 years back,& since then I am experiencing a lack of libido.I used to feel awful while I was taking the medication,and silly things(like sex,exam or the chance of my toe nail getting upturned) used to scare me all day long. I used to cry, and sometimes felt better if I went under a table.Since then, I stopped feeling anything when my boyfriend(and now my husband) kissed or touched me.It has nothing to do with him, because other things like movie scenes stopped having any affect on me too.

I have talked to many of the doctors(including the one who prescribed it), and none of them think serenace has anything to do with it.

Your emotions are definitely blunted and it could very well be from the serenace. I suggest you consult with a psychiatrist to find out what is going on. This is not normal. I got that way about 5 years ago when I took trazadone but the symptoms went away after I stopped taking it.

Good Luck!

I looked serenace up in Yahoo! web search and found that one of the many side effects of the anti-psychotic drug was increased libido. So I think the chance that the medication is causing a decreased libido is nil. I would seek the cause in some psychological inhibition.

Good luck, good health, peace and love!
