Hi CLKD,
My mum is depressed - stemming from many bereavements and her health is not the best so she relies on my emotionally as well as physically, she takes antidepressants and has done for 8 years. It's a massive strain. My husband is really great, and we are really open with each other about everything, including me not wanting sex as much. He couldn't do more for me to fancy him in truth. I think all the kids in the house don't help in that respect but before my peri men we were able to find time so it's definitely a hormonal thing. My meno consultant suggested testosterone if I saw him privately, I may go that route, just too expensive right now.
Thanks for the advice about doing a trial - I think I'm guilty of seeing things in quite final terms - either I do this and it is the answer, or not, when in reality I could see what happens over 6-8 months.
I'm scared of becoming dependent and somehow it altering my brain chemistry permanently but I guess that is ignorant of me.
Anyway, thanks for the reply, I'm at the meno clinic in feb but if this blue patch continues I think I'll go speak to my gp.
Have a good weekend everyone!
