Does cymbalta have an effect after taking it for a long period of time on your sex drive or not?

Hello,

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.-

I truly hope you can sort this out.-

All the best and take care.-

Hey outdorkindofgal,

Yes, cymbalta killed my sex drive and my ability to orgasm, to put it bluntly. (Is my face red?) So I am switching from cymbalta to pristiq which has less incidence of sexual side effects. It may not work but I am gonna try.

Hope this helps,

Laurie

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

Sorry I have no idea as not in a relationship & don't wish to be ! I am 60 years old ,happy living on my own with the love of my life ( cinder ) my small female dog, been there done that I , just have some old old male friends ! bye candypq.

There is definitely a link between Cymbalta and lack of sexual desire. I've been on it for 5 years and I don't even think about sex anymore.

Yes, it can. Sexual dysfunction is the most commonly reported side effect with any antidepressant.
