Fluoxetine

[amiadick]

Am I being a selfish dick?
Partner on fluoxetine for a couple of months. Still loving and affectionate, sex drive has gone out the window.
I get and understand that I really do.
However, he's able to do things alone physically or happy to accept them being done for him just currently not reciprocal.
I know he's low energy and motivation and doing things for others can be effort if you're not up for it and I fully never want anything that's not enthusiastic etc but I'm feeling a bit down and rejected.
I feel this reads like I'm being selfish maybe I am,
I've never had this medication so I don't know.
I went to be as supportive as possible

Anyone using/ used fluoxetine or with someone that has that has a similar experience?

Took seroxat and it wiped me out/made things worse, including loss of libido...but that included all sex drive so no, no diy, nor did I become a "pillow princess."

Gone from daily to very little at all but lots of affection still.
I do t think he's overly fussed about things being done for him and he's not doing alone time very much but it's confusing me

Fluoxetine is Prozac, whilst it works well for depression and anxiety it completely numbs your feelings, so you're neither up not down. It kills your sex drive, orgasms are impossible and you'll start to lack motivation for anything. Maybe speak to his GP and se if he can take another SSRI with less side effects. Be patient with him.

Yes you are being selfish. Lower your expectations.
