The GLP-1 diet drugs like semaglutide, Ozempic and Wegovy, and tirzepatide, Mounjaro and Zepbound, help you lose weight could very well kill or at least curb your sex drive. These products also reason is that these medications not only act on your gastrointestinal tract but also on your brain circuitry responsible for appetites, cravings, and reward processing.  They seem to suppress dopamine-driven signals that urge you to continue eating, drinking alcohol, and, yes, having sex. They also enhance while enhancing serotonin signals that curb your desires for intimacy.


If you are experiencing this side effect, speak with your medical team about dosage and/or medication adjustments.  No need to suffer or lose a valued relationship.
