Can Zoloft Help In Managing A Robust Libido?

Posted on
Wed, 24 Dec 2014


Question : Thank you very much...I am a youthful 64 year. I have had sensitive health most of my life. I am currently taking some naturopathic supplements for chronic inflammation and arthritus. It seems to be working well. Earlier this year i was treated for many months for viral arthritus with diet, homeopathics and supplements.I'm pretty sensitive to medication. (I have been treated for anxiety in the past, but have managed now to use a lot of natural techniques for it!) A little goes a long way. I am single and have had a very high libido all my life from a girl. Lately , I've needed to take care of my sexuality with my vibe every second day. I also have had some extreme fatique. I decided go back on a very low dose(was on it 9 months ago) of Cymbalta (30 mgms once daily now, every second day then)) I've been on it for a little over a week, hoping would help with energy and lessening libido. however now I'm masturabating every morning !! I've been very embracing of my sexuality, now I'm feeling a bit over it for awhile. I wondered if a very low dose of Zoloft would be better for me ? Say start on 25mgms every second day? hope to hear from you. Gratefully, XXXX.
Brief Answer:
No role for Zoloft
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query
I am extremely happy that you have a robust libido. There is nothing wrong with embracing your sexuality.
I recommend that your continue to take Cymbalta however I dont think there is any role for Zoloft at the moment, please speak to your psychiatrist before starting Zoloft. Skipping masturbation for a day or two will naturally increase your libido again.
I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
Regards

Thank you Dr. XXXXXXX Your answer is appreciated. While I'm happy for you that you are happy that I have a robust libido, I feel my query must not have been very clear. I'm not needing approval of my libido. I have been around many progressive thinkers a lot of my adult life, so I'm, ok there, thankyou !
I am at a stage where I need to increase my energy a iittle(re:the fatique).I am taking something natural, highly recommended, to help with the adrenal exhaustion, and the inflammation.It is compatible with Cymbalta. I was hoping the Cymbalta would help my energy levels, such a small dose would not overtax my system. And I was hoping that it would also provide a spell from my veryinsistent libido, while I am selling my house and moving on. Just a spell, so that later things could return to normal, and I may meet a man with whom to share. I do hope you can understand. So far, the Cymbalta 30 mgms. I take in the evening( every second evening) has upped my libido by morning. so I am wondering if there is another anti depressant more appropriate for me? I have been back on it for 12 days, 6 of those I took it every evening. Many thanks for your patience and attention. Merry Xmas, XXXX. (I understand that I have 2 follow up questions available to me, including this one, on the price that I've paid. if this is not the case, then please do not bother answering my present question, as I do not wish to pay again, after my initial payment. Please make very sure all my credit card info. is deleted off your system immediately. Many thanks. ).

Hello
Thanks for getting back, I am sorry I understood your question wrong the first time.
I dont think there is a role of anti depressant in you. I recommend you to do the following to increase your energy levels.
1. Multi vitamins is known to increase your energy levels. There are enough studies denoting improved quality of life, this is mostly because our diet lack trace elements. Becosule Z is the ideal capsule, it is to be taken once a day
2. VIT D and thyroid dysfunction are most common reason for loss of energy, I suggest you get the blood work checked. These are easily correctable factors
3. Exercise daily, especially cardio vascular exercises are known to improve mood.
5. Eat less of sugars and carbs.
I hope I was of help, Merry Christmas and a very happy new year to you. I hope this new year brings you a lot of love and happiness
Regards
