Hi All -
I am a 28 year old male on 20mg Anafranil for OCD. I've been on it for 5 months now with GLORIOUS relief to depression/OCD/anxiety and everything in between. Has been my wonder drug. My confidence has increased and my daily life has become "easier" without so many catastrophes every day.
One side effect I am having now is a bit of apathy....towards my friends and towards everything. Sort of a who cares mentality, which I don't like.
But, the biggest thing is it ANNIHILATES my sex drive. It is GONE. I am not turned on anymore by girls and this makes falling in love next to impossible.
Due to the wonderful effects towards my mental state, I have kept taking it BUT I am wondering if there are any solutions to this that you all could help me with. Would be SOOOOOO much appreciated. I'd love to get over this side effect if there is a way. If there is nothing to be done, I'll have to get off the medicine.
Any help is appreciated.
