Common Questions and Answers about Nefazodone and libido

Hello,
I am taking a very low dose of nefazodone because I'm prone to having serious side effects from most meds, especially anti-depressants. When I increased to 75 mg and then 100 mg, I started to have horrible acid reflux. I'm currently taking Dexilant in combination with Carafate and, as needed Zantac, to try to control the reflux. I'm still experiencing serious discomfort until several hours after taking nefazodone.
I've had chronic, severe nausea for the past year and I can't take it anymore. I get nauseated after everything I eat. It doesn't matter what. I can't even have breakfast anymore (I went from eating solids to drinking liquids, and now I can't eat anything at all). Sometimes I feel like I'm not even hungry, and other times I feel horribly hungry. I can only have small meals now and I can't have dairy or bread.
I am 38 years old and married. I was perfectly normal and having high libido with no problems of erection. I have been using A-Z multivitamin tablets (either centrum or boots) along with one or two fish oil capsules for the last 3 years.
I had an ongoing hair fall since my teen ages, which sometimes slowed down, specifically when I was back home in Pakistan. When I was in the UK, the hair fall increased. It's in the family. It never completely stopped.
Until my ablation 7 months ago, I had an AVRT very closely related to WPW. Mine was Circus Motion Tachycardia and I had it nearly all of my life, and I'm now 60. In my case, it in no way affected my libido. AVRT like Wolff Parkinson White is an electrical condition, and should not affect libido. I would look atnthe medication used to control the tachycardia. They can and often do supress the libido. How deep of an investigation have you done on your condition?
I have now been taking 150mg of Wellbutrin XL for about three months, and have noticed no imprvement. If anything, my libido has diminished even more.
Since most people report a boost in sex drive with the Wellbutrin, I was wondering if I am just an atypical case, or if perhaps my dosage is not high enough to experience the improvement.
Thanks for your help!
Anyway, there are lots of options - ranging from a number of medications that have been well studied such as nefazodone, mirtazapine, and the tricyclic antidepressants, to supplements that seem to be effective (although probably somewhat less so) such as hypericum and s-adenosyl methionine. Finally there are a number of medications that are not routinely prescribed for depression that might be of use, and that list is a bit long to put here.
In any event, the answer is yes.
The interaction has also been reported in patients receiving atorvastatin, lovastatin, or simvastatin with other potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors such as azole antifungal agents, macrolide antibiotics, HIV protease inhibitors, and nefazodone. Clinically, high levels of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitory activity in plasma may be associated with an increased risk of musculoskeletal toxicity.
m really alarmed and how my libido has dropped so much during the past six months. I eat healthy and practice yoga 3-5 times a week, but the only time I think about sex is when my man lets me know how horny he is. He's been supportive and understanding, but he deserves to be sexually satisfied, and of course on some level things I've lost interest for non-medical reasons.
Due to the risk of life-threatening and fatal toxicity, patients with renal or hepatic impairment should not be given colchicine in combination with potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors such as itraconazole, ketoconazole, voriconazole, nefazodone, delavirdine, protease inhibitors, and ketolide and certain macrolide antibiotics. In patients with normal renal and hepatic function, the dosage of colchicine should be reduced when used with potent CYP450 3A4 inhibitors or within 14 days of using them.
No, I think they may be too high because of the recent cystic acne and increased libido that I've been experiencing. An increased libido may sound like a blessing but it's not... I can't think about anything else and just keep falling further and further behind in my work. I really can't afford to be so distracted and the thought of cheating on my husband or crossing any lines with coworkers terrifies me.
About six weeks ago I was prescribed 20mg of Fluoxetine (Prozac) daily for Chronic Depressive Disorder.
At first, it worked great. I had energy, I slept through the night and felt rested in the morning. I wasn't constantly depressed and had desire to do things. I even got my libido back. I still had minor depressive episodes, but they never lasted more than a day.
I love my wife but we have not had sex on years and neither of us really has a libido to speak of. We do enjoy cuddling and are very touchy throughout the day. However I have found that my libido is quite strong when I travel. Is this common? We don't really speak about these things, which I'm sure is part of the issue.
I am in a relationship with a man that was recently (4 months ago) diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Needless to say we haven't had much of a sex life for years, which has been very difficult for me to accept and deal with.
I was initially very excited that maybe there was a medical explanation and a cure, and thought we might have a normal sex life. However, I haven't seen much improvement in the past months, perhaps if any.
I am around 30 years old. Skinny: BMI around 18.5-19 (been always). Never used alcohol, smoked or so. Exercising moderately (like always), something like 1-4 times in a week, 0-2 times 30 mins jogging, and other times some muscle training. Diet is healthy; just avoiding junk food and excess sugar. No depression, no medications.
Despite of my pretty healthy life style i still have big problems with my erections and libido.
First of all my morning woods are almost non-existent.
You state that your partner is the problem, not you. I don’t know what you mean by that. And you also state you’re having trouble becoming aroused and having orgasms. And you also mention something about pregnancy.
So what is it that you want? Are you trying to become pregnant? Is this getting in the way of sexual desire? Is your partner touching you in ways that turn you on? Do you have orgasms with yourself? Do you think about sex at times when you’re not with your partner?
I lost my libido for a long time but slowly it started coming back.
I think 'self esteem' had a lot to do with it on my part.
I gained 16 kilograms prior to RAI so i felt like a blob :(
I didnt feel sexy, I didnt feel anything to be honest.
Then I decided........what you see is what you get.
I sat and explained all my feelings to my partner and luckily enough, am with someone who was patient...
