libido

The whole point of vacation is to relax and bring play into our lives, Reeves reminded me, noting that “libido thrives” in exactly those situations.

Heavy bleeding, hair loss, weight gain, painful sex and low libido are some of the most common symptoms that people don’t like to talk about.

While there is no explicit reference to this side effect in patient leaflets, the UK medicines regulator told us there was a general warning about increased libido and harmful behaviour.

"On the other hand people might experience mood changes or changes to their libido."

The symptoms are wide ranging: from affecting mood, memory, focus, libido to effects on bone, brain, muscle, skin and hair.
