I have never had a hugely high sex drive so I didn't make any connection really. But after being on sertraline for general anxiety and health anxiety my husband and I have had sex maybe 4 times in 2.5 years. We only did it once or twice a month before that so I didn't really connect the two.
I also put a lot of weight on a few years ago after having my daughter. I had a health scare and lost 3 stone but in the last 2 years I've put almost 6 stone on. I had never thought that this might be to do with the medication and it's not that it's causing me to eat, but I think more dulling my motivation to lose weight.
I will eat better for a few days and then just think ah sod it I'll just be fat.
Could this be the sertraline do you think? I don't want to come off it just yet I don't think as it has helped a lot. And my husband and I rarely argue anymore because whereas I used to be irritable all the time I now just let a lot wash over me. But hopefully now I've made the (possible) connection I can try to fight against it
