i know how you feel. I had a complete december 2000. My depression is out of control and I am now taking 2 anti-depressants, 0 libido. Wish I could make my husband understand.

Good luck

Anti-depressants can cause loss of libido!! So maybe try natural anti-depressants, like 5htp (look up tryptophan on a search engine) a 30 to 60 minute walk at sunrise which (even if overcast) is when the suns rays act on the chemicals in the brain to help reduce stress. Possibly also dhea, check on-line via a search engine to see whether you think it's for you but one known effect is to increase libido!!

Also relaxation methods like meditation, yoga, pilates, long hot baths with essential oils, hobbies & also affirmations to work on deleting the negative thoughts/beliefs in your sub-conscious are all wrth trying, just remember these things take time.

Good luck

Another good natural alternative for depression is sam-e. You can get it at wal-mart, internet, any drug store or health store. It works well with no side effects. My son even takes it for a boost at times. My daughter takes it for those pms days. I take it daily. They use it a lot in europe for mild to moderate depression. Not good for bipolar disorder though. :d

I am 2 1/2 years post complete hysterectomy. I am on both estrogen and testosterone. I believe that it is a balance between the two that cures the depression. I am much better with testosterone, but am getting resistance from doctor as I try to get more. Besides mild depression and short term memory problems, I am having major difficulties arguing with anyone. I walk away rather than argue. Libido is non existant. Joy of life is missing.
