This is a little embarrassing...but here goes. I have zero libido as of late. Okay, maybe a year?? My interest has declined in the past year to the point that I just have to say no! I also have what's called Type 1 1/2 diabetes. My endo considers it very early Type 1. I take Lantus and Novolog along with Actos. I have been on Lexapro since it came out on the market a few years ago.

I heard a gyn doc at work talk about testosterone treatment for women. Anyone have any insight or experience about this? Should I go to my endocrinologist or a GYN?

They have reproductive endos. That might be the best choice.

SSRI's cause diminished libido. Perhaps that's your problem.
