	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... 28 Yrs old Dx UC 3/07 4 Asacol 3x/day 30mg Prednisone Remicade (3 infusions) Fish Oil supplements Multi-vitamine Back to Top

	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! Current Medications: - Asacol (4 pills, 2x per day) - Rowasa (1 enema daily, as needed) - Folic Acid (1 mg, 1x per day) - Calcium (600 mg, 2x per day) - Prenatal Vitamin (1x per day) Back to Top
