Women normally produce testosterone in a small quantity. It is the primary hormone responsible for our libido. Spiro is an androgen blocker. Testosterone is an androgen. So, it would be understandable if controlling our excess testosterone lowered our libido.
What dose are you on? If it's bothering you, you may want to consider lowering your dose.
Also, though there is no research on it, some women are using Viagra to improve their orgasms. You might want to think about it, weigh the facts, and ask your doc for a prescription.
