Anti anxiety medication and libido

[Polmuggle]

I think I'm finally ready to concede I need anti anxiety medication, after yet another panic attack stopped me being able to have a normal day out.

I've resisted medication, not for any worries over stigma, but because I don't want to loose my libido. I'm 30 and dating and want to enjoy it.

Does anyone know of any which don't? Or am I over worrying and it's not as common to loose it?

I've been on escitalopram for many years for panic disorder and agoraphobia - didn't affect my desire for sex at all - the man I was with did 😂

I've been on and off citralopram for many years, complex ptsd with possible bpd. I've just started back after a years break after recent dark times.

I'm remembering now about the side effects that I had previously, such as low libido, excessive sweating etc. Hoping it will subside for you and I both.
