Hi Teri,

That depends on how long you have been together.

Teri - mine isn't what it used to be either - not sure if it's enbrel or age or

hubby

Just a thought - if you are on any anti-depressants, those will kill your drive

big time.

I don't know if it's a side effect of enbrel or not. For me, the pain in my

hips and legs is also a big deterent - it hurts, even if we are " creative "

Anyhow, hope you are well otherwise,

I am not on anti depressnats. Everything was okay in the " drive " dept before I

started on the enbrel. Of course, there were times that the " drive " was there

before the enbrel, but I was hurting too damn bad to do anything about it. Now

that I am feeling good, the " drive " is gone.. Kind of ironic, huh?? I was just

wondering if this was a side effect of enbrel.

I don't think Enbrel affected my sex drive. I think the fact that I am in

severe pain is a major factor. When you don't feel good you don't feel like

having sex. Some meds can have that affect on you though - especially

antidepressants.

Good luck,

okay, this is an embarrassing question, but I have no one else to

ask... I have been on enbrel for four months. I have noticed that my

sex drive has become almost non-existent. Could it be the enbrel or

does my boyfriend just bore me?? LOL!
