Common side effects of this medication are decreased sexual desire or ability, as you say you have taken it for a long period of time and it has not gone away, I suggest you contact your Dr. and let him / her know what you are experiencing.-

Are you serious? OMG, is that why I haven't wanted sex in like foreva? Wow, I should really read the side effects. Well, I was on it for depression and it helps with nerve pain. But, since I no longer have insurance my doctor switched me to Prozac. If my sex drive comes back, y'all will hear a FAT LADY SINGING... wooooooohooooo! I tell my friends, I went from a nympho to no-pho... lolol

Sadly, me either. I thought it was all due to a complete hysterectomy. Which, it is probably most of it. But, I switched from Cymbalta to Prozac bc of cost so I hope to see some difference in my drive.
