Is there a female version of viagra? Or what can I do...

To increase my libido.

It's completely dead.

I'm 39 and it's causing issues in my relationship and I want to want to have sex but I just, don't want to.

In my teens, twenties and very early 30s I was very sexual.

Health wise, I've just started thyroid medicine for sunclinical hypothyroidism and I have depression but not currently medicated though I should be but I feel like the antidepressants make it worse because then I can't even come when I do have sex.

Sorry for posting in relationships but I don't like the sex topic I have it hidden.

Have you joined the Health Unlocked page for Hashi’s?

Unbeatable scientific knowledge there and tons of tips. Foundational to all the discussions is a need to check a) thyroxine works for you - which you’ll only know after a few months’ time and b) vitamin levels are good and high enough: vits D, B12 and iron being critical.

Plus I can suggest doing more / different exercise - since being hypo I have found this so helpful for energy, which in turn lends to libido.
And - take this as anecdotal or take this as something worth trying - I find borage oil capsules (also branded as starflower) helps a lot with all of the hypothyroid-related and peri package of joys.
Many people with hypothyroidism on HO say they have very positive experiences with going GF. I read about that idea there and can recommend.

A lot of the writing on hypothyroidism massively understates its impact, I find.
