Can birth control decrease sex drive & cause diarrhea ? Posted: 08-30-07 13:32pm
I have been currently taking Alesse and
I've noticed my sex drive has gone down
but so has my climax in the end. I use to
have no problem with climaxing and now I
don't at all. For the past 2 1/5 weeks.
I've been experiencing horrible diarrhea
which started about 1 week after I started
my second pack. I'm starting to get a
little worried and was wondering if this
is normal at all. Or are these "side
effects" something I should visit my
doctor about?
