I do experience some loss of libido not due to prednison but as a "side effect" from elavil an effexor XR. My main CH med is Verapamil SR 360mgs/day. I gather that many of us take antidepressants due to the depression of CHs and the pain and how THEY effect our lifestyle. My sister took prednisone initially for CHs and she did not have multiple orgasms. She is currently taking Verapamil and her libido is effected to a degree. As for me, all the crap I take certainly has a major effect on my libido; mainly the length of time. I have to concentrate harder and evbentually I get there. For my partner, she is glad I take so long! Dammit.
