Prozac, Zoloft, and probably every other antidepressant out there don't just lower the libido for me; they seem to make me lose physical interest in dating and relationships altogether.
It's like my mind is all geared up for going on dates and getting to know guys I'm interested in, but I just don't feel the desire to do the work that comes with maintaining interest and flirting. It's frustrating sometimes, especially when I miss out on a potential partner because of it. Then I get a tiny bit upset when that guy ends up with someone else, even though I have no reason to be.
On the flip side, being off the medication turns me into an emotional wreck when it comes to dating/relationships. I get jealous easier and get all emotional if I feel that someone I'm getting closer to is ignoring me. On medication, I'm a lot calmer and more rational.
And at the same time, too detached.
What should I do?
