I recently went on birth control, but now i feel like i have a decreased sex drive. What can I do to fix it?

Change birth control. I too found that without ovulation I wasn't as interested.

Seemed to defeat the whole purpose so I switched to barrier (condom) methods.

You may want to change birth controls.

Most BC methods cause some type of side effects, lack of a sex drive is one of them. Personally, when I started mine it took me approx. 3 months to feel like my old self again.(this was after one dosage was to high (it made me feel sick) or the formula just didn't work with my body) Talk to your GYN. before you stop taking them and tell him/her your symptoms. He may suggest that you change your birth-control method or lower the dosage. Good Luck
