No sexual desire

[TidyTealRobin]

It is rather a tricky one, but ever since I have had menopause, my sex life has dried up completely. I mean really nothing, not even any arousal from masturbation. I am in a stable relationship and have no issues with cuddles and kisses. I have also developed depression and take pills for it. But I have had depression and pills before and it has never switched off like this ever. Anybody familiar with this? I am on hrt. Changed from evorel conti to sequi because of endometrial thickening. Some investigations for cancer inconclusive. My gp and psychiatrist changes the topic to can I cook, clean etc. So it is difficult to get an answer. Am I alone in this experience? Is this normal? Will things change or can I expect to live the rest of my life as an asexual being?

Testosterone is now prescribed alongside HRT for libido.

Testosterone. But don’t expect overnight improvement, it took some months for mine to work. It is definitely working though!

Antidepressants that I'd had no problem with in early adulthood killed my libido and ability to orgasm in peri. I came off them and I have no problems with libido now. I'm not on hrt but know that women have success with testosterone for libido.

Thank you all who posted such helpful replies. I also suspect the antidepressant may be responsible. I'll try changing that before testosterone. Thanks.
