C3P0 Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 I have had a couple of serious car accidents over the last few years. The most recent has given me 'moderate' PTSD. Among the usual symptoms e.g. flashbacks, nightmares etc. I also seem to have lost most of my sex drive, which is a bit rarer. Does anyone else know anything about this, or has anyone had similar experiences? It has already been a factor in the breakup of two relationships (ie all of them since the accident). One complicating factor is I'm on amitryptaline which can have some similar symptoms as side effects. From a personal point of view, its not that I don't fancy people or want a relationship. It's just rarely seems worth the sweating, mess and effort to actually have sex. I can't really get into it anymore. I actually tried reading a book whilst on the job once (but got a right earful for it). Link to post Share on other sites
fluffy_hime Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 Depression can affect someone's sex drive, so I'm sure PTSD could as well. Link to post Share on other sites
