I've been on warfarin for about 4 months now, after a DVT, I've seen a change on my sex drive, I was wondering if it could be because of the Warfarin, has anyone else had this problem? Thank you!
Can warfarin affect your sex drive?

DVT implies admission into ICU. Any person who has been in an ICU would certainly lack sex drive for at least 6 months. I don't think that Warfarin has anything to do with it.

I have been on warfarin since early Nov. After a brief fear of doing anything (shaving, bumping my leg) and the problems which might arise as a result of warfarin, I have not noticed any difference to pre-warfarin sex drive. I have also not had problems with headaches or nausea which are both not uncommon side effects.

I can't find any evidence that says it effects your libido. Have you changed any other medications?

no, not really just the warfarin, I just wonder if it could be that, because I can see an obvious change.
