Hello everyone, I've been on prednisone for about 7 months...My highest dose was 40mg and now I'm finally down to 10mg...Hopeing to get off of it very soon...I have heard conflicting stories on how prednisone effects sex drive...One thing I read tells me it increases it drasticly, and one tells me it decreases it...My question is, those of you who are/have taken prednisone, how did/does it affect you? My sex drive or lack there of seems to have totally gone down the tubes...Thanks anyone who can respond to this issue...

I don't feel like it's had any effect on my sex drive.

I'm a 31yo male and I haven't noticed either. I've been on 40mg as well for 1 month.

I'm ready anytime of the day :)

I have absolutely no sex drive at all when I am on Prednisone. I could care less about any kind of intimacy. Thank God I have an understanding husband!

My sex drive is almost gone.  Not sure if it's the Prednisone or Imuran...has to be one of those I'm assuming.
