I'm taking 600mg sodium valproate and 8mg reboxitine to help control my mild bipolar symtoms?

the meds r working ok, and I am exercising every day, but the thing is my sex drive has all but gone and I have no interest in being intimate with my wife, I was fine not that long ago, is it the meds? I feel so much better on the meds but I would like to feel like a man too lol
please nobody tell me to stop taking the meds, cause thats not going to happen, I have tried lots of other different things and this is whats working for me!

medications often have a lot of side effects, and a lowered sex drive is one of them. I will not advise you to stop your medications since it is quite rare for people to find the medication to find what is right for them in a short time. But if you are willing to increase that sex drive and be more like a man, then why don't you discuss your options with your wife and your doctor. He may look into what may be the real cause of the problem and give you something for it, not necessarily a medication. Also, having your wife know about it may help her help you increase that drive.

Hope this helps.
