I have no interest in sexual intimacy and I am a female. I suffer from chronic depression and anxiety. I have been on Welbutrin XL for several years, over ten. I really noticed not having any interest in sex but decided to ignore it. Months ago, I decided to ween off Welbutrin XL and instead used a holistic substitute. After over a month, the depression and anxiety returned. I have weeks ago resumed taking Welbutrin XL and will take a low dosage of Lexapro. Turns out that not only my antidepressants but also, my high blood pressure medicines and statins are also the culprits for my disinterest. I am unable to not take many of my meds so guess I am going to have to deal with the effects of not having any interest in intimacy.

I'm sorry to hear that you have no interest in sexual intimacy. It's extremely important to me. Maybe because of my gender I don't know. I've made the decision to deal with the clinical depression and anxiety by just suffering through it. A very almost childish approach rather than dealing with the issue. I'm at an age now where I don't have much else going for me than the ability to achieve sexual gratification. Maybe I'm being selfish. I don't know. I have a script for Lexapro that my doctor gave me and I took it for a few days and the delayed ejaculation started as well as the ED. I just want to experience pleasure in my life before it's too late. Am I being silly?
