What is the best medicine for anxiety disorder and depression?
Patient: Hi, I'm a 29yrs old and have been on zoloft since I was 18 yrs old. I use to have such a high libido before the meds and enjoyed and thought about having sex everyday. I used to have so much fun. I've recently married my husband March this but we have been together for 11 years. I love him so much but sex doesn't interest me at all. I'm never in the mood, but I want to enjoy one of the best pleasures life again. Another factor is that I'm a stripper in a no touching club. But we met each other at the same club he was my manager and we worked together for 3 years and have lived with each other for years. I was diagnosed with bipolar at age 18/19 as I was admitted to a mental hospital by force as I was very suicidal. I think that being on zoloft at the start helped. Well its kept me somewhat sane. However I'm still experiencing anxiety and depression. I used to love sex and being impulsive and now I just dread sex and I feel numb but I want to, I don't what to do. I have sex with my husband like once every two months. I feel like I don't even know how have sex anymore. Is there a better antidepresent  as I feel like I've missed out on best years of  my life. I'm a stripper that can't even initiate sex with my own partner. Why? Should I just get off zoloft. I want my happiness back. What can I do to get myself in the zone as I feel like we have never had proper sex. Is there any drugs I can take to bring my libido back. Help please! Doctor: DearWe understand your concernsI went through your details. I suggest you to consult a psychiatrist before stopping or switching psychiatric medicines. Your bipolar may not have cured fully. Your medicine is helping you a lot in that aspect. Being so long in medication must have taken its toll. You need to address your anxiety and depression too. I also suggest you to worry about sex later. For the time being, consult a psychiatrist and start Cognitive Behavior Therapy and pharmacotherapy.If you require more of my help in this aspect, please use this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR.
