Sexual Dysfunction becaus of medication

My partner and I are now together for about 9 months. Everything is perfect in our relationship except in the bedroom, there is no intimacy in our relationship in other words, no sex. My partner is on medication for many years for anxiety disorder. The other day I read the pamphlet of the pills his taking and sow that one of the definite side effects of the medication is Sexual Dysfunction. I think that’ s the reason why he is not interested in sex at all. Is there anything he can take to counteract the side effect of Sexual Dysfunction or is there other medication that he can take for his anxiety disorder that will do the same as his current medication but without the negative side effects.

Yes there will be, he needs to speak to his prescribing doctor and ask for alternatives which will still be effective with his anxiety disorder but which have less effect on libido!

I would rather he go see a good homeopath. Most medications have some or other side effects. U don' t need him taking another medication to counteract his sexual dysfunction. Homeopathic remedies usually don' t have side effects but need to be prescribed by a qualified homeopath, preferably one who is also a doctor. Good luck
