Hello. My screen name is igentleheart.
I suffer from depression. I'm diagnosed as having Bipolar Disorder. Right now, I'm on the middle "swing" of the pendulum between depression and mania. I haven't filled my anti-depression meds yet. I haven't had it filled since August of last year. I'm not really having any problems (Of course, I may be in denial) I just don't want it to interfere with my sex drive. I know that there's more important things then my sex drive, but I'm still kind of hesitant.
I have one question? Am I a danger while I'm not on my medication?
Thanks, igentleheart.

Welcome to the board! This is a great board to go to! Regarding your meds, it may be wise if you go back on your meds, because u can be in danger. Your meds are suppose to help your sudden mood change. If you are concerned about the side effects regarding your sex drive, talk to you doctor about it. Maybe he/she can give u one that has less side effects and still can help you with your depression. In a total different situation, the meds that I was taking was really hard for me to take, because of the side effects. I couldn't stand it to much longer, especially the nausea. So, the doctor has put me on something different, and the side effects aren't that bad now. So, I would make an appointment with your doctor, and talk about this situation, and hopefully everything will work out.
I hope this helped you a little bit...Kristina
