Some patients taking semaglutide or tirzepatide tell us theyโve noticed a significant change in s*xual desire after starting treatment or increasing their dose...
The research is still developing in this area, and we canโt say that GLP-1 medications directly cause low libido in everyone. But mechanistically it makes sense! GLP1s work by affecting the brain's award system for food..and we've seen it also work well for alcohol, binge spending, and, unfortunately even s*x

๐ Did the change begin after starting the medication or increasing the dose?
๐ญ Is it actually desire, or is the issue arousal, dryness, pain, sensation, or or**sm?
๐ฝ๏ธ Has appetite suppression become so strong that theyโre barely eating?
๐ช Are they losing muscle along with weight?
๐ด How are sleep, stress, energy, and mood?
๐ Could another medication be contributing?
๐ธ Are perimenopause or menopause playing a role?
๐งช Are there targeted labs that make sense based on the symptoms?
Sometimes the answer may be as simple as not continuing to push the GLP-1 dose higher. In other cases, we may consider returning to a previously well-tolerated dose while correcting nutrition, sleep, or other contributors.
And sometimes the GLP-1 isnโt the primary problem at all.
