I know this is going to sound mean, but I say it out of concern for your future:

You can't have everything.

That doesn't mean that you can't try, but I think you should accept that, for now, it will be necessary to make compromises. You have some hard decisions to make.

How badly do you want to feel well?

What are you unwilling to trade for your mental health?

For me, making the choice between losing my libido or continuing a life of pain and dysfunction was an easy one to make. So, I take 6 medications that produce side effects, one of which is a loss of libido. As important as having a libido is... Well, you get the idea.

One last comment: It may be that your libido will return once the brain accommodates to the new medication. Perhaps you should wait awhile before making any decisions.

Easier said than done.

:-(

I would remain aggressive with medication and dosages if I were in your situation. Don't lower the dosage of anything until you have an honest discussion about this with your doctor.
