What Causes Low Libido While On Cymbalta In The Elderly?

This is an awkward question. I am 62 with back problems. I take 3 or 4 medications. I have not been able to have an organism for over a year now. I was taking cymbalta and from reading thought that was it. So I am now taking prestige. Is this the problem?
