hello, i'm new to the boards. my name is crystal, i'm 28 and suffer from bi-polar disorder and borderline personality disorder. i am on seroquel, lithium and lexapro for my disorders. i am also on levothroid, pepcid and vytorin. here's my problem, i have absolutely no sex drive. but it's really worse than that, i find that i don't want to be touched in any way. even the idea of a hug makes me cringe inside. if i was single this might not be a problem but i'm married. i love my husband dearly but this is really starting to take a toll. i tried stopping my lexapro about a month back and found that my sex drive seemed to return. i had to start taking it again though because the dizzyness and emotional outbursts were to much to handle. so i went back on only at a half dose. but even at only around 10mg i again can't stand any physical contact.

i guess what i'm trying to find out is if anyone out there has gone through or is going through this as well. i really don't know what to do. i've heard of course of antidepressants killing a persons sex drive but what about this not wanting any physical contact thing? i plan on talking to my p-doc about all this but it takes quite awhile to get into see him. and i don't see my therapist till the week after next. i'm just hoping to find maybe someone who can relate and maybe even some adivce.

thanks so much for listening.
blessed be.
