For the first time since we have been married my husband started taking meds.

He is on Adderall and Zoloft. His job had a lot to do with it. In the mean time there is NO intimacy. I mean none. He warned me but I didn't believe it I guess.

So uh, are any of you on med combo's that don't supress your libido?

IMO its the Zoloft killing his libido. Many of the SSRI class antidepressants have that lovely side effect.

Just have him talk to his doctor about the unwanted side effects. They're fairly common and his doctor isn't going to find his problem all that unexpected. Crazy feet is probably right, but his doctor can address this by either changing up the med dosage or type, or possibly proscribing an additional med to address the unwanted side effects.

I had a similar issue with some of the SSRI meds the doc put me on. Now in my circumstances, he had several reasons for adding wellbutrin, but one of the nice bonuses to that was that with my particular mix it killed that problem without adding additional side effects.

His doctor should know how to address this fairly easily.

We both read up on Wellbutrin. We suspect it will be more helpful. He'll see his doctor when he gets home from a business trip.

Thanks.

I was on Zoloft and it did nothing for me but give me side effects.
I switched to Wellbutrin and no side effects and I have a more even tempered day and the ability to actually stop my mouth from saying whatever pops into my mind--for the most part. Things I would have said would be like--my wife has been on chemo so I couldn't do much with a libido now anyway. (Irony--gotta love it!)

Keep in mind that everyone responds differently to the same cocktail of meds. You both have to be patient while you sort out what works best. Keep a daily journal of moods and behavior for the first 30 days on a med.

It's easier to make somewhat objective choices with meds when you log how he responds to them. I think most good doctors find it very valuable to have the external perspective of someone without ADD who is close to their ADD patient.

I'd say have him keep a journal of how he's feeling but I know 2 things to be true:
1. inwardly there may seem to be only very minor differences when on or off the meds--so this leaves little to write about.

2. When first starting out on meds it's pretty dang frustrating to try and remember to do something consistent like a DAILY journal entry. (I mean, what day is today anyway? :p )

IMO its the Zoloft killing his libido. Many of the SSRI class antidepressants have that lovely side effect.
I agree, I dealt with that side effect. It was good and bad because I was a teenager at the time.

That was the reason my H didn't want to try some of the different meds for ADHD. He read about most of the drugs and side effects and was really concerned about it. He is on Concerta and now his dr added Wellbutrin. There has been no problem for him in that department.
Ask his dr about it and if Wellbutrin is an option for him.
Good Luck, I know how important it is for a relationship (the meds and the sex!)

The psychiatrist my significant other sees gave him Buspar to help with this problem.
It was meant to offset the effects of Effexor.
